Then he told me that he felt like cutting his head off, putting it in a box, and mailing it to me.

Going up, my parents were were divorced and never communicated directly. I got bounced back and forth between them a lot. Always based on what my mom needed. Fuck my social life or grades or stability. If being a parent started to get too hard, she'd ship me off to live with my grandmother or father. She'd get lonely,…

During his initial campaign for governor, Walker made it clear that he wanted to outlaw abortion even as a life-saving measure. That's right. He thinks that women who are violently hemorrhaging because their pregnancy has gone hideously wrong should be forced by law to die. Because he is a piece of shit.

Yeah not to be a jerk but I had the same thought. I lived in a neighborhood for 2 years that was going through gentrification. There was so much crime and the new residents totally didn't understand why. I caught a guy breaking into my neighbor's car and called the police and they caught him. Turned out the guy was 16…

I am really, really sorry this happened to you, but as someone who survived an armed rape/murder attempt by fighting off the intruder myself, and saving both myself and my sleeping boyfriend - and then having basically everybody thank him for saving me - this line is incredibly hurtful: "The world's best weapon…

They don't like being violently killed because no one does.

I'm a vegan and a feminist. I hate people like the ones in this video, but also hate to criticize them publicly and support the "haha, I'll kill animals for fun in order to make you feel bad" crowd. But just yesterday saw this comment on FB and my mind was blown because I totally agree with it and now this video…

Does "shining a spotlight" say to the other commenters "sic 'em"? That's how it comes across. You only recognize and allow commenters that agree with you? Or else, we'll promote it just to make fun of them. It'd be nice to see a few more opinions that you don't agree with promoted.

I'm against torturing animals before I eat them. I have a chicken (she's only an asshole when it comes to my greenhouse) who gets treated like a chicken - a very spoiled chicken, but that's the point. Treating her like anything else - a child or an egg machine by burning her beak off and stuffing her in a cage the…

As an animal rights activist, FUCK YOU KELLY PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY WHEN I SAY I BELIEVE IN ANIMAL RIGHTS PEOPLE THINK I'M FUCKING INSANE AND/OR THINK PEOPLE SHOULD STARVE SO CHICKENS CAN ROAM FREE.

I agree completely. There was actually a study done in Asia (by the BBC, I want to say?) where they found that if they didn't use the word "rape," but explanations of sexual encounters that qualified as rape, 25% of the men interviewed said that they had raped. When the word "rape" was used, though, the percentage was…

Right, and that's exactly why all of these oh-so-wise prescriptions for prevention are so misguide and often bordering on offensive. Because they are only a hair-line away from people who wonder aloud, why didn't the victim do X? Or if she had learned X? Oh, that didn't work? Well, she must not have done X right.…

Not to mention, someone ATTACKED you. Someone was an aggressor against you, because maybe you didn't look a certain way (confident!). Yet this person is mysterious, part of the ether, like just a force of nature you attract by not looking the right way. You are the only human here, the only one with responsibility and…

Women: Men should stop attacking women.

Rapists aren't general criminals, unless you think women are things. Property crimes might almost be understandable in some desperate situations, but not rape.

When it comes to acquaintance rape, which makes up most assaults, I think it is very possible for a young man not to understand that what he is doing is rape. When we don't educate about consent and we instill a sense of sexual entitlement, we as a culture make criminals out of people who might not otherwise have…

Ok, I'm going to defend bystander intervention.
