I dunno, according to the survivor advocates I've met, the first rule of survivor advocacy is that the victim's story may change. Party dates, descriptions and who was employed where seem to me perfectly reasonable details to screw up—-or perfect details for rapists and universities to lie about.

Wait, we're supposed to be surprised that there are discrepancies in a story about a woman being brutally gang raped? The issue isn't with Jackie, it's with RS and their inadequate reporting. If they didn't believe her, they should never have published, not hang her out to dry in public for the crime of not being the…
Anna, I realize that you're trying to be gracious here, but the Bradly/Soave article(s) were incredibly dismissive and elitist. Your response was warranted more than their "it couldn't possibly have gone like that" tone.
Everything about being an undocumented immigrant was great until Obama came along.
Agreed, but I think the title is unnecessarily inflammatory.
To be clear, Obama's recent executive action for immigration has nothing to do with the problems these people face. The "women left in danger" were already in danger before it was announced.
Azealia gives me Kanye feels. Like I hear you, yas I get you, but also could you maybe sit down for a second and like idk get a rough draft together?
It's so emblematic that NBC is still broadcasting their vapid fucking tree ceremony and singing goddamned carols while this is happening blocks away. It makes me feel so angry that I am nauseated. Aldous Huxley was right.
Good point, Jim! Let's explore what I did in the blog post you mentioned versus what Robby's doing, shall we?
Hi Robby! Thanks for stopping by! One small correction: I don't think you've ever "reported" a goddamn thing in your life. (And because I know you're going to do this, either here or in my Twitter mentions, which you and your friends are currently stink-clouding up with your Feelings, I have a master's degree in…
From one law professional to another, I am disappointed that you still can't read my post well enough to differentiate between criticizing anal sex and criticizing the normalization of highly risky unprepped anal sex between drunk strangers (among the teens that saw that video).
Good point! (Especially because I started having sex at 14, which a lot of people consider too young, and I don't regret it.) I guess what I was trying to say is that, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to think her body and sexuality were the most important things she had to offer. I wouldn't want her to start…
It isn't inherently gross; it just requires preparation. It would be fine for him to do at 18 with a consenting partner with whom he had clearly communicated and responsibly, safely prepared. He did none of those things because he's a piece of shit who doesn't deserve life.
I see this coming up a lot in the comments, but let's not forget the person talking is 14.
Things were bearable for about a week, she says, and then "I messed up again. This time it was my fault." A group of boys came over to her house, and she performed oral sex on one. Another videotaped her without her knowledge, she says. "He showed the kids. Passed it around school. I was so, so embarrassed."
I want to find one, just one positive in this story, so good on the kid who recorded that drunk fucking scumbag. He should go into police work or something. You can hear him forcibly questioning "Brian," without cajoling him, and successfully getting a confession. Good on you kid. A+ job for an amateur.
i can't read it all. not because of the length, but the horror.
Not to mention the part where, you know, she was raped by her father in law, didn't feel sexual after that, punished for not feeling sexual by her husband for years, didn't know if her own son belonged to her husband or the man said son thought was his grandfather, that kid gets murdered, finds out her worries were…
AND THAT SMUG GODDAMN LOOK ON HIS FACE AFTER. I CAN'T.
