I'm surprised you find that to be true. Most feminists I know are constantly calling out religious institutions for their hypocrisy. (I also live in the south, so part of it is possibly hard backlash to how they were raised.)

I spent my whole childhood listening to my mom comment on the looks of women who appeared on the news. I asked her to try to stop recently because I don't want that kind of thing around my hypothetical future daughter.

An article on YouTube commenters, what's next? An outraged article that Klansmen say nasty things about Jews? Jesus Christ...don't you understand that place is the Mecca for assholes and trolls? These are the morons that got banned and are unwelcome in every other armpit of the internet so they hash out their…

You guys might wanna update the article, because the Baker Street Babes aren't getting their money:

I find myself incredibly frustrated with Jezebel's response to this story. Just as you rightfully call out people who commit rape (proven cases) you should call out assholes like Faircloth in this situation. Be outraged! This is a disgusting act that makes it more and more impossible for people actually raped to be…

It's like duke lacrosse, he must be guilty of something or at the very least being in a position of structural power and privilege

The first rule of Jezebel is "Never admit you were wrong." The second rule of Jezebel is "Never even realize you were wrong."

Not to defend the MRA clusterfuckbrains on the other article, but Jezebel did say (in their original reporting on the article):

Well, she finally admitted what a lot of us said all along and got shit for. It sucks that there are assholes out there that make up rape stories but they exist, and you're not helping women by pretending they don't and by acting like fake rape accusations don't exist.

Yes, it must be so nice for her to simply 'move on'. She only very publicly accused someone of rape, after all.

I'm on Tumblr—joined to follow other Parks and Recreation fans, so most of my dash is about feminism and funny women. But sometimes I see reblogs that just make me shake my head. Good Lord, the collective Tumblr mind gets so offended so easily. It's like a game of, Who Can Act More Oppressed?

OF COURSE IT WAS POPULARIZED ON SUPERNATURAL. OF COURSE.

I read this "account" of DashCon and some kids were like "a bunch of us locked ourselves in bathroom stalls, crying and having panic attacks" and I admit it, I laughed pretty hard.

This is the stuff Amanda Abbington was talking about when she said how uncomfortable some fanart about her partner (Martin Freeman aka Watson) sometimes made her. People (Tumblr and Twitter) then proceeded to flip the hell out that she didn't appreciate the fandom. People can have whatever fantasies they like but…

I think it's actually mostly written by girls. :/ Depends on the fandom of course, but yeah. I think it's people fetishizing pregnancy and thinking that Troo Lurve=lots of babies so they want their favourite male/male ship to fit into that. That's my theory anyways.

Tumblr is quite possibly the worst hive on the internet. At least 4Chan knows exactly what it is, but Tumblr is so oblivious about itself that it makes them even scarier as an entity.

I use to think I'm was a nerd. Then I discovered the Internet and no, I'm just introverted. I mean I might like a few traditionally nerdy things, but I also like rock music and that hardly makes me a rocker.

Technically/legally, the burden of proof is on her. That is, if there were criminal charges being raised, which there are not. In civil cases (this one for libel) the burden of proof is still with the plaintiff (in this case, him) but it's a much lower standard than in a criminal case.

he also has to prove that he didn't rape her and that she lied about it because she intended to harm him. Proving malice could be tricky: Why would she want to hurt Oberst? And why would someone lie about being sexually assaulted? What could be gained from that?
