It’s really hard being white. /s

I totally agree it should be a huge story everywhere. But that’s also why I use multiple news sources. Jezebel usually covers stories like this (and I suspect this will come up in the next day or so) but they also commit full posts to Vanderpump Rules, so it’s not like it’s Walter Cronkite here 24/7.

On a happy note, in the 45 minutes since I read this story the Kickstarter has jumped up $1000.

Thank you. And if the story was about a group of kids in a rough neighborhood in The Bronx who just wanted to go to Disney, I would still have donated.

Just ignore this person. His/her whole point is that Jezebel didn’t post about it because the victim is white and Jezebel hates white people.

Troll alert: Please avoid feeding the individual who keeps commenting that Jezebel doesn’t cover enough stories about white people. And if you must comment, perhaps you can provide him/her a link to Bo Bice’s website so that they can cry together.

Maybe you should go visit those sites instead.

Donated. Happy to support these hardworking athletes.

Ding ding ding!

Oh man, I reference this scene all the time and no one knows what I am talking about. I am still at an uber corporation and this is my life.

Request to Jezebel: Can you uys find out how much money states have spent in legal disputes over bullshit laws like this? I’d love to see how much states waste in addition to the potential lost revenue.

..unless the woman is a slut, or drunk, or dressed like a slut, or has slept with the perpetrator before, or flirted with the perpetrator before, or flirted with his friends before, or has large breasts, or didn’t wear a bra, or did her makeup, or spoke to the perpetrator after the assault, or engaged in any sexual…

And the gross things they spit up in the showers. Ew.

Are they aware that a transgender person is far more likely to be a victim of assault than perpetrate an assault? Are they aware that most women are assaulted by someone they know? Are they aware that there are still over 2,000 untested rape kits in the state of VA alone?

Dammit Janet.

And what if Patricia/Pat cute her hair short? We need some legislation to keep girls in skirts with long hair and big bow please, just as God intended it to be.

Were they ever in style?

I really like it, which confirms that it is terrible.

Great point - and mental illness also includes addiction, which has a strong hereditary component.
