I agree with you 100%. Even as a white woman who has been raped more than once, I openly acknowledge that other groups (notably, black women) are more victimized than mine.

Sexism is a whole different beast when it's crossed with racism. The ugliness of sexism is real and oppressive but the intersectionality of sexism and racism is intolerable. In Canada, it is First Nations women who bear the weight of this cross.

What does this have to do with the article at all? Also, seems we are talking about reported assault here whereas the whole article talks about how often WoC are afraid to even report the crime?

I feel like this is an indication that the judge might not really know the dynamics of relationship abuse. Those texts really had a lot of abuse red flags, and to dismiss it as "dynamic and unpredictable" is disappointing. I was kind of on board with the verdict so far before reading this, now not so much.

Normal relationships are dynamic and unpredictable sometimes.

Thank you. I have spent the last 12+ years trying to explain what, exactly, is so horribly annoying about Cold Play. This. This does it. "Moaning quietly into a napkin about clocks".

And its not that I dislike Lena Dunham; more power to her for becoming successful.

Ooooh! A gif! You're genius!

Now matter how deep it gets, it can't hide your idiocy. But I appreciate the amusement you're giving everyone while trying to cover your ass.

You're an idiot, your logic only works if you completely ignore the fact that most victims domestic violence actually defend the person that assaulted them. Get an education and then come back to the comments.

Seems as though you're the troll, as you've never encountered any of many, many reasons victims stay with abusers. And yet you clearly have internet access under your bridge.

You're a moron.

Well-put! Most of our moms have sucked some dicks and smoked some weed too, Miley, they just don't brag about it all the time because they know it's not interesting and nobody cares.

I'm from DE, a state with maybe 25 people in it, so I know Joe personally, and he is just as dope IRL.

I've always liked Biden, from the eloquently-stated comments such as these (and these are on POINT) to the hands-in-the-air-wave-them-like-you-just-don't-care "MALARKEY!" moments. A friend of mine once called him a loose cannon, but I think it's the opposite. I think he's been around so long that he just doesn't give…

Yeah. I'm not clutching pearls over the fact that a 21-year-old woman is giving blowjobs (side note: honestly thought she was younger than that, though). I'm just sort of internally cringing that she probably thinks it's oh so edgy that she admits to doing so. Meanwhile, I'm preparing for the slut-shaming that's going…

Crush level: Knope.

It's like she's trying to convince us she's a grownup who knows all about life and things. And it's like, yes, dear, quite a large portion of the population has actually given a blow job before. Giving one does not make you a badass/rebel. It makes you a really normal adult.

Throw a scrunchy in there and you've basically exhausted all of Cosmo's sex tips.
