“It’s a tragedy all the way around,” she said. “Two drunk people running into each other — now one person’s a convicted sex offender.”

Yeah because raping someone is definitely not as bad as, like, selling a few joints or not returning library books or something*

I’ve had one booze blackout in my life but it’s only 30-45 minutes I can’t account for. But everyone’s different. I can’t drink past a certain point because I get sick and throw up and it’s a blessing. I have friends who can keep drinking and don’t feel sick and don’t pass out but they will go from…

There are plenty of nights where I don’t remember anything. I'd say all of my friends have had some of those nights too, with the exception of a select few. I think it’s way more common than you are thinking.

I’m just telling myself that the judge will be awesome and sentence him to a lot fucking longer than 5 years.

WITH A FUCKING VIDEO AS PROOF!!!!! Fuuuuuuuuuck. Fuuuuuuuck. 5 fucking years after watching a fucking video of him fucking raping a woman. Fuck.

Because obvs he just made a mistake, besides she was drunk and it wasn’t his fault, what did she think would happen, etc etc.

WHY ONLY 5 YEARS!!!!!??????????

I can’t understand how people look at something like this and don’t know that something is deeply broken in our society in regards to the way men see women. It’s just so pervasive. We can’t keep attributing it to bad individuals. And I have no doubt that for every crime of this nature that we find out about there are…

Oh god, the description of this woman’s reaction to being told that something horrible she couldn’t even remember happened to her! This guy is disgusting and I’m glad he was caught...no comment on how short his actual sentence will be.

BRING IT ON, DICKBAGS. BRING ON THE “WELL IF SHE HADN’T BEEN SO DRUNK HURR DURR DURR” COMMENTS. I FUCKING DARE YOU.

I agree with you on pj Harvey, but I fucking love Courtney as well. Pj is a god.

Yeah, the "you DO realise that Hitler and the Nazis took away all the privately owned guns before enslaving most of Europe" brigade; they seem to use that argument to justify pretty much any stance against gun control.

As another commenter has said, there might have been other women that did this, but what I loved and love about Courtney is the fucking attitude of the woman. For me, coming of age in the early 90s, she was my idol, a beacon in a sea of mediocrity. I would never be cool like the Deal sisters or pretty like Tanya…

I still crank My Body the Hand Grenade in my car. That live version of “Asking For It” is a goddamned gut-punch. I’d listen to Live Through This except it’s scratched to hell. And my stupid 2004 car does not have an auxiliary jack.

They think they are strong, but you are correct about perceived slights.

I think they also forget that white men are the people who caused the Holocaust to begin with :/

PREACH

Their fee-fees are super fragile.

Persecution complex. Some people can make any institutional change they don’t rather or any piddly little slight against them into a Holocaust.
