Actually, two years ago, there was a rye shortage. Right before I got married and needed it for cocktails, the price jumped.

Really, you get a giggle out of things like this? I think you need to reassess some stuff.

A 27-year-old white girl lecturing an older, quarter-black, quarter native rape victim about racism and sexism is the most precious thing in the world.

Perfect example of privilege blindness: It's cool to use anti-woman slurs because you're a woman. No, it's still sexism. And it's still ableism to refer to therapy in a derogatory sense, when the fact is that it's the only thing holding many rape victims together.

Just going to leave this here so everyone gets a chance to see that the type of sexist, ableist pig you are.

That's more or less what I figured your reply would be. Despite your *~special knowledge~* of racial politics garnered from a semester in the class room, you're still a privilege blind idiot.

Your argument hinges on the assumption that every student needs to confront these things because they never have. By the time they get to college, many students have confronted racism. Many students have confronted rape. No one is saying people should get to "hide", and I think it's really insulting that you suggest…

Yeah, dude. It's just goths who kill themselves. That's why my husband's veteran friend took a weapon from his veteran roomate and shot himself.

OK, so you side with rapists. Good to know.

'False accusation' is a legal term. If you don't want to use a legal term, find another way to say what you want to say.

These aren't false accusations. A false accusation is when someone goes to the police and files a police report alleging a crime where there was none.

You must be a genius to have noticed. Wowzers!

Let me break this down for you, brosef:

I'll quit shaming jerks like you when you quit compounding the abuses already faced by rape victims with your condescending, cruel words.

No, it's sad that you think rape victims are so incredibly stupid that you felt the need to issue this 'tip'. You didn't "have" to point anything out as a tip. You did that just to spit in the eye of abused women.

The thing about twins: they equal my husband and I in numbers. The battle is coming. It's just a matter of when.

Removal from the process of determing guilt is a really big sticking point, though. If the university can't determine 'guilt', however we're choosing to define that, how can they choose to take actions to limit contact between two students?

What you said in terms of access to victims make no sense. If colleges are completely removed from the process, then how can they make the decision to limit access? My point is that this needs to be a two-fold system: teh perpetrater is being processed by the actual judicial system, and while those wheels turn,…

You're assuming courts are perfect arbiters of victim's safety. This isn't true. Very few rapists see the inside of a jail cell, very few are even tried.If the city or county refuses to prosecute because the case is too her said/she said for their liking (as many are considered to be in our rape culture), should the…

Something I'd really like to see is a comparison of reporting among college-aged women between campus and non-campus police. I'm very frustrated with campus handling of sexual assault, but I'm wondering if more women don't report sexual assault on campuses more often because of resources like junior counselors,…
