Fucking huge. Seems implausible but I'm curious to hear more (not that I don't believe the story, just can't wrap my head around it). Also it's a huge discrepancy from the 80 reported incidents. How were 1000 involved when the reported incidents were much lower?

Yea. I’m not unsympathetic to black men being falsely accused and convicted of crimes now and throughout the course of history, which I why I find this hard to talk about. But I also know that we have a major problem with violence against women across all races, and with those women not being believed... Hence the…

This is something I think about often... I’m a white women and I’m very concerned about violence against women. I’m also concerned with racist images of black men that make them more likely to be seen as violent criminals and thus victims of violence. And I don’t really know how to reconcile those two things because…

Kara, love your posts. You killed it again!

I went to an Ivy League school and some of the dumbest, least aware people graduated alongside me. Related: some of the smartest, most insightful people I’ve met have never stepped foot inside a college classroom. So much of it is about opportunity, what is the right life path for a person, emotional intelligence, and…

I'm willing to take the risk. I'll report back on the constipated thing.

Ugh sorry for your experience. Sounds pretty standard to me, which is sad.

What are the allegations? (Seriously asking)

Good for these women. I’m not familiar with Japanese cuisine in particular (other than eating it) but I know American restaurAnts, like other industries, are sexist as hell. It’s really fucking hard to be in that environment... I’ve worked front of the house but I know there’s plenty of problems in the back of the…

Right? I don’t get people who go out of their way to do this kinda thing. Like, you don’t like something? Fine. But what makes you so angry that you would go seek it out just for the purpose of belittling it?

And don't a bunch of those dual nationality players have citizenship because their parents FUCKING SERVED for our military overseas???? If you don't want foreign raised Americans on your team, be better than them.

So fucking patronizing.

The kid is 15. Families are complicated but I feel like he's old enough where this isn't a hissy fit. I feel like divorced parents need to respect children's wishes on things like this. My parents are divorced and we're always good about listening to us on where we wanted to stay, etc.

Yea I mean everyone has urges. I want to punch my boss who makes me mad but I understand assault is wrong and that behavior is frowned upon and there will be consequences if I do that. and rape is rarely about a sexual urge. When I get harassed, it’s not like the guy just can’t control himself. They want to intimidate…

Well said.

Totally. Like I don't care if you want to fuck me. That's fine. Just don't do it without my permission. Not a hard concept to grasp.

The vid is worse than I thought.

I’m dating a guy who is great and we have really open convos about this thing and he doesn’t harass women and isn’t rapey (from my experience anyway lol. Really, that’s my genuine assessment.) But he still kind of believes the “men have weaknesses” thing but I’m like “YOU ARE A MAN. Have you ever had sex with a passed…

I saw this too! You tear them down and make them think they'd be lucky to date you.

Omg.
