ETA: Oops! Almost forgot to dismiss you.

Clearly the people contributing to these lists feel/know that this is the only way to get attention to their assaults. People who want justice don't go immediately to scribbling lists on a wall. Suggestions that these women "just go get a rape kit as proof to bring to the police" are inane and show an astounding…

Basically everything women do is fodder for the MRAs.

It's about systems. There is a historical system of reinforcing that men committing violence against women is acceptable, thereby oppressing women. When women commit violence against men it is reprehensible. When men commit violence against women, it perpetrates a system of oppression. Same with race. When a person of…

They're also effing irrelevant because they didn't happen. Who cares about "what if"? How derailing. I hate hypotheticals as a rhetorical device.

I also like how these statements apply to any interpersonal relationship ever. The only way this is considered "news" is if someone has never had a familial, professional, or personal relationship with another human.

Ohh I see - thanks for clarifying. I agree that she's not a victim; the primary evidence being that she doesn't see herself that way. I think he took advantage of the situation but I agree, I don't think she was a victim the way some of the other women he victimized were. I'm pretty sure we agree :)

Lol read her comment history. She is sooo off.

I'm referencing previous accusations of sexual misconduct and rape that have been raised against him. He's definitely a sexual predator. I personally don't weigh repeatedly cheating on a spouse in a government office through power and sexual manipulation then lying about it under oath the same way I weigh sleeping…

OOO! So you're a rape apologist, actually. You don't believe in rape culture because you're such a misogynist that you're essentially pro-rape. It's always a good sign when people say, "Yeah rapists bear the full responsibility of rape...BUT let me contradict that statement by blaming the victim for her choices, none…

Like what? What evidence or proof? A statistic or a study? Count on a man to require only his narrow and unproveable litmus test for proof. And I love that you went on a Groupthink article to talk about yourself and your bs lies with absolutely no self-awareness that the post wasn't about you (but you wanted to make…

I'm recently on the other side of a quarter life crisis that start about 18 months ago. I'm 26. You'll be okay - you just need to speak to a lot of people and do a lot of research. At least, that's what helped me and for the first time in my life, I actually feel secure in what I want to do.

Especially since she's the only tarnish on his otherwise clean-of-sexual-assault-and-harrassment-charges record.

I read an article [citation needed I'll try to find it ETA: It's the one Callie linked! Read it yall!] that said, for as much as the speech patterns of teen girls have been mocked throughout every iteration, speech patterns originated by and associated with teen girls ALWAYS get incorporated into general speech…

I hear that and I agree it's overblown; while I'm annoyed at this ish in general, I definitely didn't feel outrage. When you work at a nonprofit (sounds like you might too?), you definitely see the ways we have to use those signifiers for ends that justify the means (well, hopefully). For example, I work at an…

Why can't they recognize the humanity of these girls at all? It's not a sliding scale, IMO. If someone does it worse it doesn't mean they nailed it. I have no idea if white people choose these photos. The point is they capitalize on signifiers of "Africa", "Blackness", etc. that are familiar to white folk. You have…

Well said.

Yes - as always, the representation of poc / woc is really a set of signifiers that translate for white people so they can serve as symbols rather than a recognition of humanity.

OMG. You have to do it. You must!!!!!!!!!! BK fries are the best but girl the #9 is IT.
