I love that his post about feminism ruining everything effectively ruined his career. That’s some pretty instant karma.

It's weird for this to NOT be everyone's jam. Listen to it once and you're drawn in like the local street youth and prostitutes. It's science.

You are.

Yes.

why yes we do

Yes, I think that that was the point of the story. After “once promising” the tone was “until he was suddenly accused of rape”. As if the rape is something that was done to him, not what he did to her.

Good points. I also think it is very interesting that we do not see the “once promising” narratives for other crimes: “Joe had a promising future before being accused of - and convicted for - armed robbery.”

I understand why survivors wouldn't want to have people writing about them, but it would be nice if journalists would treat them as though they, too, are humans. Nobody laments that an athlete or an honors student was thrown off course because someone attacked her.

Even though we know that victims of rape on campus are more likely to drop out of school, and not finish their degrees than their attackers even if they report their attack and the attacker is disciplined. Attackers are not crippled by any guilt or trauma associated with the incident. As evidenced by the fact that the…

My vagina just ate itself in protest.

Sure! Tweaking the narrative would make these news stories not *laments* but *cautionary tales*

Ugh apparently this guy wanted to be a surgeon...I am so, so hopeful that he gets the maximum sentence.

Yet one more thing I don’t understand. Once promising future until he actively made the decision to sexually assault a woman. Why is this such a hard fucking thing for people to grapple with?

Some men are worse than garbage. Garbage never raped and beat me.

Yes! There are heroes in this case. Hooray for the guy on the bike and the other guy who chased down this rapist.

Seriously. I know we like to think we would all do something, but actually doing something is completely different. Cheers to Peter Jonsson!

Hey now. This is an insult to garbage.

During the whole Stubenville verdict some CNN anchor talked about how hard it was to watch those two young men’s life be ruined when the guilty verdict came down because they were just sad y’all. I don’t have time for that nonsense. If you do an incredibly shitty and harmful thing, you deserve to have your life ruined…

I don’t get why people are talking about it not being a clear cut case? There were flipping witnesses. Witnesses who chased him down when he ran away. This is about as clear as it gets in a rape case. I swear, people are awful.

it was once promising. and then he raped a young woman and now his life is garbage, because he is garbage.
