Maybe because when we outright reject a guy we risk becoming victims of harassment (at the mildest) or actual threats to/attempts on our lives? The problem here isn't women.

So the racist guy lives up to every part of the stereotype, from demanding which "kinds" of guys she likes through filthy language and a stop at Station Free Speech. I'd swear it was some kind of performance art if I wasn't depressingly positive that this is a real person who thinks this is some kind of debate in…

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to get these kinds of messages, ladies. Sometimes you have to wait months or even years to find out you've been dating an asshole, but these guys just let you know right away. It's practically a public service!

Oh, honey, oh, no...that's so sad and cute. I can just picture you in your jaunty little skipper's hat, captain of the SS Shrimptacular.

They are the same thing, in a way. They're all quite disgusting.

It's nice of these guys to give the women around them such a clear and undeniable red flag. Most people have to wait weeks or even months to figure out that a guy is a piece of shit, they're really saving us all a lot of time here.

Great article. I see other people have mentioned domestic abuse perpetrated on men and child abuse. All types of domestic abuse need constant awareness for the way they're under reported and under discussed.

there are probably a lot of abused men out there that don't report the abuse out of shame or harassment.

The number of people who read this column and got the impression that men are never the victims of abuse: ZERO.

Of all the women murdered in 2010, nearly 40 percent were killed by a spouse or someone they were dating, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. This number has been 30 percent or higher since 1996.

BELLEH.

I can't count the number of "Why Did She Stay With Him" articles I saw.

iCloud.

Oh man, if this actually brings down Goodell I'm throwing a party, taking donations at the door, and making a contribution to a DV shelter in his name.

I read "franchisees" as "French frieses."

if you're not getting enthusiastic consent, you aren't doing it right.

"Bitch fell into a railing after a little love tap. Plus she was drunk! She shouldn't have been drunk if she didn't want to get a fist and a railing in the face. He wouldn't have gotten so pissed if she had been less drunk!"

I just hope we don't get a wave of pundits all claiming that the Ravens "did the right thing". They had the chance to do the right thing during the offseason when the original video came out (as did the NFL) and chose not to, even though they at least knew of the existence and the details of this video. To suddenly…

The most ridiculous part in all of this is the fact that video evidence beyond seeing her out cold for nearly 2 minutes, then "out-on-her-feet" for awhile, was what was needed to precipitate the serious punishment. Given the NFL's broad and bullshit-laden knowledge of traumatic head injuries, they really should have…

Really? Had this video not been released today, Rice would have been in a Raven's uniform by week's end. They knew the story and their only reaction was to shift blame to the victim. They only terminated his contract today because the public and media (for lying to them) would have SLAMMED them for the whole week…
