“My schadenboner can only get SO erect?”

Schaftenfreude. 

Because he would never go near a member of the public who wasn’t a rabid supporter at one of his rallies.

This feels awesome.

Especially since we’ve all learned by now that they’ll be back at work within a year.

That is SO GROSS and so wrong on every level. Fuck Yoffe. I never really had an opinion about her, but now, blechhhh.

This is a good way of putting it. I’ve also seen it said that when you tell a girl not to wear a short skirt or get drunk, you’re really saying, “make sure he rapes some other girl.”

No sexual assault survivor who knows who Emily Yoffe is would EVER trust her with their story! She is obsessed with alcohol as the cause of all the world’s problems, and she thinks women are ALWAYS lying about rape.

I am really sick of people thinking that coerced sex is ok. Wearing someone down with verbal and emotional abuse does not equal consent! Being coerced until the victim’s choice is either go along or risk being beat up or killed does not equal consent! It is hundreds of years past time the laws catch up to the fact…

I’m not a smoker and I will never will smoke or vape. But I would be lying if I didn’t say sometimes I get tempted by some fucking amazing chocolate like cigarette smells. Like holy shit it smells so damn good I can almost taste the flavors. That is how teens and young adults get hooked on that shit.

Yoffe’s advice columns were perverse not only whenever the letters involved sex and drinking, as many commenters observe, but also pretty much across the board. She would frequently make assumptions that went way beyond what the letters said, or flatly contradicted them. It was clear that these were knee-jerk…

I once heard it discussed in the context of “micro solutions” (though in this case probably more like micro advice) versus “macro solutions.”

“We need to recognize that a misunderstanding, even one about sex, is not a sufficient cause to result in the obliteration of someone’s psyche and desire to live.”

Her tone in these articles does seem earily like a Mom who tells her daughter to suck it up when she tells her grandpa/uncle/stepdad’s been mollesting her.

My theory is that someone in Yoffe’s life raped or sexually assaulted someone and Yoffe can’t accept it and feels the need to blame women.

God can people please learn to not equate getting fired from a job with having your life ruined?

Yoffe has always straight-up misrepresented sexual misconduct stories. I remember one specifically where a young woman was performing oral sex for the first time on a guy she liked when she discovered with her tongue that he had an STI he hadn’t told her about. She stopped immediately and wanted to leave. He wouldn’t…

I looked this guy up on facebook, even though I thought he probably would have deleted his account, just to see if we have any journalist friends in common. He has not removed his account and his website is still active - and we do have a friend in common though it’s an odd one and not a journalist. Anyway - having…

Kaiman continued kissing her and trying to unbuckle his own belt and take off his shorts...

Yoffe’s Slate pieces about rape were abhorrent. I get that she was trying to be sympathetic or rational, but she always kept hammering away at the culpability of sexual assault survivors.
