Men using ladypart names to diss someone else usually has worse issues than the person they are commenting on IMHO...like misogyny and sexism.

Some of the possibilities presented are clearly coming from the mindset of someone who is ridiculous. First thought in a rape accusation is "She must be gunning for that payday" says tons about the type of person who would think that.

You see?! This is the "good white person" problem from a feminist perspective. Okay, he's not a "good" man but his voice is more important than the voice of any woman who can actually be considering an abortion.

Did you even read this? Nobody is asking you to apologize. This isn't about you. The fact that you managed to be offended by this piece is a testament to just how much you don't get it.

It's not always about you.

I am a good white person. ... And do you know what? I don't see a need to apologize for it.

This is in her own words. What more context do you need? Do you honestly think a ten second period of awkward silence, following with an implicit threat to kick two people out of a store if they don't explain what they're doing, would be somehow less weird in person?

Yes, they should. That was easy.

And unlike Cleveland cops, most NFL players have college degrees. Cops can have a GED and six weeks of academy. AND they know less about the law than anyone.

Seriously, you motherfuckers, we have the video of Rice being shot. We know exactly what happened. We fucking saw it. Don't act like everyone who's seen the video doesn't know it was straight-up fucking murder.

Especially when said protest involves the shooting of a child. I think "I don't like it when children are shot dead" is the least controversial stance this side of "Oxygen is a good thing."

The Cleveland PD is currently under supervision from the DoJ to straighten up their act for the second time in a decade. Tamir Rice was shot by a guy that should never have been hired in the first place, and wouldn't have been if Cleveland PD hadn't been half assed in their hiring process.

Browns players that live and

I don't know the mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance required to convince oneself that how Tamir Rice died is okay, but the police should not possess it.

If we're all supposed to honor and respect you for being big strong men willing to take a bullet to enforce the law and protect the public, maybe you shouldn't undercut that by being hysterically overreactive crybabies about the slightest implication that maybe somebody in your ranks is doing a shitty job?

It's not trolling, it's just that we are tired of hearing - that our value, our rights, and our tragedies are interesting to you only to the degree that you have women in your life. Here's a lighthearted take that can help to clarify: http://the-toast.net/2014/09/11/fat…

I agree with you, but I'm seeing everyone glued to every shred of evidence counting against her, and there's a reason for that. We're not invested in seeing the "facts" come out to light, we're apparently invested in seeing anything attacking her credibility come to light.

I don't think you know how statistics work. Plenty of data show rape is an underreported crime (so very few rapes are reported). By extrapolation there's no possible way to believe that somehow a larger percentage rapes "not reported" are false allegations. "False" accusations as reported by police also include things

What I find bizarre is that credibility is being given to other people, people who have had time to get together and decide on their version of events. Why are these people deemed honest? That really bugs me. More than anything it seems like "Jackie" is being dragged through the mud and what happened to her is being

Remember though, Randall is a dude and everything he says must be true. Jackie is a woman, and she says she was raped, so she must be lying.

This shows the way in which we are so vested in picking apart victims's testimony about their rapes, adamant that they have unassailable crystal clear versions of events even if they can't because the events themselves are traumatic, hazy, and might be too horrible to remember (Like Lena Dunham's Buzzfeed piece
