And also added some very martial sounding drums to signify the military focus. Bear McCreary is fantastic...

I thought it was a nice touch that they added French lyrics during the Paris episodes, but switched back to the entirety of the song being in English when the show went back to Scotland.

Peer pressure to do it completely alone without any peers around...

One needs to recognize the influence that peer pressure and the attitude of having to fit in can have on someone.

Yup. I had a convo once with a guy who pulled all the lines about alcohol “date” rape: “I’d teach my daughter to never get drunk around guys” “Why’s she dressed like that if she didn’t want to have sex?” etc.

When people bring up the specter of false accusations or wrongful convictions, I always ask how it is different from any other crime. Or any other lawsuit. Yes, it is he said/she said many times. So are all sorts of other cases. Yes, there will be wrongful convictions/expulsions and that will be a tragedy. Just like…

But you have to add the component of "those scary prisons will ruin him so let's shorten his sentence and protect him while he is there". If this was just a judge giving a lax sentence, meh, charge it to the game. But this judge went out of his way to say that the kid needed to be saved from the prison system.

We hear a lot about “personal responsibility” when it comes to rape victims as well. Somehow, rapists never have a responsibility not to rape, but rape victims are always entirely responsible for avoiding getting themselves raped. And drunk rapists aren’t responsible for their actions because of the alcohol, but drunk…

I’ve lost two jobs solely based on the reporting of my case. I wish I never was good at swimming or had the opportunity to attend Stanford, so maybe the newspapers wouldn’t want to write stories about me.

“One needs to recognize the influence that peer pressure and the attitude of having to fit in can have on someone.”

Her comment on why she chose to remain anonymous is beautiful and lends even more power to her statement.

Can you guys (I know the writer most likely doesn’t choose headlines) call him “Stanford rapist Brock Turner” instead of “Stanford swimmer.” He was convicted as a rapist, so that’s what he is. I don’t give a shit if he was a fucking real-life Quidditch player, the horrible shit he’s done deserves to be branded on him…

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…

Well when they take down a Meme calling this guy a rapist, which he is, versus when Facebook will leave up memes about people of color all of the time. You are implying that someone was making a race issue out of nothing and not only is it patently incorrect, it speaks to a larger problem we have as a society, called…

Don’t even bother with him, he’s hopeless. Once you see the phrase “professional victim” you know you are dealing with a gamergate/Thunderf00t fan type who gets spoon fed reasons why he, as the cis white male is the true “opressed” and doesn’t believe that racism, sexism, and classism are major problems in this…

NOPE. Lots of dads would publish open letters saying “I am horrified at the criminal behavior of my son. I have no idea where exactly in his upbringing he developed the ability to be sexually aroused by an unconscious person, but any part in that that I have played, I sincerely apologize for. We have had him screened…

There’s a difference between “being on his side” and “being a narcissistic arsonist who just dumped napalm on a fire that was about to go out.”

This is me with every single other parent at daycare. I mostly see these folks when we are dropping off our kids with precious little time to do more than nod hello to each other, yet somehow when I run into these other moms outside of the school, they all know my name, what is up my kid, etc. And I’m left going, “Um.…

I usually make a hand choppy movement at my throat and tilt my head towards my right so they understand that they shouldn’t approach me because I’m with my wife. Then I follow with the little fake phone and mouth “call me”.

At 30 feet I put my right hand up for a fist bump and point at it with my left. The whole way I’m just pointing at it, at about 15 feet I start nodding repeatedly and slightly tilting my head as if to say, “You know what this is about!” and then we bump fists and keep walking.
