Women disproportionately experience sexual violence. That was my point. Get a grip, troll.

Ok, do men make up just 10% of the population? Because according to RAINN, that’s the percentage of rape victims that are men.

I don’t, and you’re right, it could easily have been legal in Washington in the 1980's. I realize you’re discussing the law, and maybe it was silly of me to bring up the law, because honestly, that’s not what concerns me. He preyed on homeless, drug-addicted teens — I really don’t care if he was just on the right…

It’s sad, but there’s no way these accusations are false. Signed, someone who has always adored Mayor Murray.

To me, it doesn’t matter who is funding the suit, only that it’s probably true. Seattle’s progressive values are strong. We’ll be fine without Murray. I genuinely like Murray, and really loved his statements about Seattle’s values after the election. But, we don’t need him.

No. And no one on this site has said that. Jesus, man, get a grip. Wanting to decriminalize sex work doesn’t mean anything goes.

Sixteen year olds can consent to sex legally, but a 30-something man definitely can’t pay a sixteen year old for sex. That’s not legal, and is incredibly harmful.

Right? There’s never a shortage of prostitutes of legal age in Seattle. He chose to go after a homeless teenager. That’s abuse.

Buying services from a teenage prostitute is abuse. They have nothing, and they’re not at an age where they should be expected to provide for themselves. Also, most abusers try to bribe their victims in some way, as a way to make them feel complicit.

There are regular ads from all major toothpaste brands about the whitening power of their toothpaste, though, and no one has complained. Ditto with detergent commercials. It’s almost like no one has any problem with those ads, but any ad with a tag “White is Purity” might raise some eyebrows in 2017. What is your…

Yes, good job, they do vote. They get extremely upset about this very simple shit (Jews having a holiday that’s not Christmas, two guys kissing on the tv, etc.) but they still vote. It’s almost like objecting to something in the media doesn’t actually impede someone’s ability to vote or otherwise be active…

Nope. She was ahead in every poll, and had an organized ground game everywhere she needed to.

Clinton only came to my city for fund-raisers, but we all figured out who to vote for ok.

Clinton spelled out her platform five different ways, on every issue voters said they cared about. The problem is that what the voters wanted was a guy who promised to build a huge wall along the Mexico border, and single-handedly bring back manufacturing. Democrats articulated their message just fine — the problem…

Yeah, exactly. It co-opts counter-culture, but in a gorgeous, pitch-perfect way. It makes you want to love it, even if it’s obvious what’s going on. The Pepsi ad . . . does not do this.

Yeah, totally. Also, the one with the Palestinian and Jewish kid, while not equally bad, is pretty over the top. Kid with a giant keffiyah, kid with locks and a big hat, sharing the world. I realize the message is peace, but it’s so awfully done, and ham-fisted.

I feel terrible about it, but reading this made me spit out my drink. Brava.

Yeah, what the fuck happens at these ivy business schools, anyway? The ratio of worthless psychopaths to upstanding citizens in their alumni is a little disconcerting.

As much as I’d love to read your seven paragraphs, I don’t think I will.

People are still getting killed in this country for being gay. The idea that gay people in this country should be grateful to social conservatives for not throwing off fucking rooftops is so fucking tired. Also tired is the idea that by not thanking them for this, they’re somehow ‘closing hearts and minds.’ (LOL LOL…
