when some woman is raped in a slutty dress it will be on feminists.

Who is to say that a “poor trans boy” isn’t going to kick some cis guys ass when they jump him? Best watch out. Some of us are have some serious muscle mass to throw around.

Because of course, the alternative of putting a trans woman in a mens locker room results in exactly zero harm. I’m sure trans girls getting most of the violence thrown at our community is just a total accident, a freak occurence, so we should never consider it because of what might happen to a boy at a tenth of the…

When anyone is brutalized, anywhere and anytime, it is on the attackers and the people preaching hate. Not the people advocating acceptance.

Right. Being a POC does not exclude you from participating in and enforcing white supremacy.

So apparently the SAE guy turning away POC was a black guy, according to the SAE President?

lol why do people keep pointing at my username like it’s some kind of brilliant comeback? *I* named myself this, genius. Lazy is the whole *point*.

Does anyone know who that woman standing behind Katy Perry is?

Also (and I’m NOT excusing the rape, merely adding context), Polanski had lost his pregnant wife in a very public manner to one of the most notorious group of murderers in American history, so one can only imagine how that screwed him up mentally.

My problem with the judges decision is that it left the DA’s office off the hook for a poorly negioated deal. And this wasn’t really a case where Polanski got an amazing deal because he was famous—rapists still routinely get little if any time. If the judge had held to the original verdict and the DA had suffered some…

Would he be fucked over worse than the 13 year old girl he drugged and raped?

Possibly. I also always seem to get the DMV person who won’t let me smile in my picture, and I have serious RBF and it is NOT flattering. So coupled with the close up, awkward angle, and terrible lighting, the DMV is basically setting us all up for failure.

He drugged and raped a 13 year old, and a judge was going to send him to jail for it. Problem?

He drugged and raped a 13 year old. FACT.

When you say that you want us to “check the fucking facts” are you talking about Polanski drugging & raping a young girl? Because 1. That’s the fact that matters & 2. We’re all super clear on that, Steve.

Well, the fact is that he raped a child, so . . .

No the judge was not at all bound by the deal he made. He may have been guilty of other misconduct but he was absolutely right that a psych eval and probation were not an appropriate penalty for anally raping a thirteen year old. And it is within his rights as a judge to reject the terms of a plea.

Uh... where’s the “dumbass troll post” flag... how do we not have one of those?

Unfortunately the judge’s behavior could be seen as misconduct (I won’t pretend enough knowledge of the case to know exactly what, but from what I read antisemitism was a not insignificant part). Not unfortunately for Polanski, as he has been able to use that misconduct as a shield to keep himself from being…

Yeah, it’s a real mystery why people don’t care that a convicted child rapist was going to have to go back to jail longer.
