It's right next to the sections that say God wants you to have guns, to not have abortions, and that marriage is only between one man and one women. In short, it's wherever you want it to be.*

I am so, so sorry that this happened to you. But it's not your fault for trusting people, or for staying at a party where people were doing coke. I don't think that drugs are actually an indication that rape may occur. I don't think that anyone is upset at Serena or anyone else because they don't think that women…
I definitely think that is part of it, Wanting to feel in control. But I think the main factors at play when people blame victims of SA are rape culture and misogyny. Otherwise people would blame others just as much for being mugged or swindled or murdered or any other crime, but they don't.
Yes, I think it's fine to be cautious and sometimes untrusting, and I think there is a place for discussing the necessity of caution. It's not appropriate in this context because it does imply fault, and, really, when you prioritize the focus on the decisions she made: to drink or to trust your friends over the…
At this point in time, victim blaming is so ubiquitous and so much a part of our culture. Most of the time when people talk about a woman's behavior in this context it is for the purpose of assigning blame that doesn't belong to her. If the girl in Steubenville had not been drinking and was assaulted, I am sure she…
The thing is, we all know we have to be cautious, but we can never 100% avoid being raped no matter what precautions we take, and no one can be vigilant every single second. If a woman is raped, her decisions shouldn't even enter in to the conversation, because I'm not convinced that it will prevent others from being…
I think it's really gross and creepy.
It's horrible and sad but not surprising given how he treats women in his professional capacity.
You may think you are an ally, and maybe you genuinely want to be one. That's great if it's true, but at this moment you are concern trolling hard. You've hit at least six of these already. If you truly want to be an ally, I suggest that you actively think about what people have said to you today, and that you reflect…
Sorry, you don't get to define feminism or what constitutes feminist activism. When you say that it is my responsibility to engage with people who disagree with feminism on the off chance that they are not a troll but a pure innocent who is so enfolded by privilege that they are oblivious to the fact that I have a…
I would argue that it doesn't really matter if he was referring to rape or not and that the broader cultural context of the phrase does matter. What he said was certainly insensitive, especially considering how hostile gaming can be to women. And it was said within a community where people routinely talk about…
It's a rape joke and a well-known phrase. If you were to try repeating it to people you know who don't follow E3 and ask them what they think it refers to, I guarantee most, if not all, will say rape.
Yes. I was just coming over here to say this. Listing levels of nicotine and tar, for example, would be extremely beneficial as well. I don't understand why this isn't already required.
Damn, this entire thread just looks like a giant troll fest to me.
Yes, but the WSJ only cites one dermatologist stating a concern about them potentially affecting hormones, and that a common UVA filter in American sunscreens, oxybenzone, can disrupt hormones as well, so I'm thinking that this is perhaps not the issue that the FDA is concerned about.
Wouldn't a warning label also serve this purpose? I'm really careful about what I eat and put on my body, but I do live in a place that regularly has a high UV index. If the estrogen disruption is fairly low, I think I would accept the trade-off to protect my skin.
I'm totally down as well if you throw in a decent bottle of Tokay.
