I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the way you address issues like this, Diana, and that you keep bringing them up again and again. It’s an important voice in sports journalism (and all journalism), and I hope you continue for a long, long time.

Remind me again why it matters what in the living fuck either woman was wearing?

That shit’s like one of those bros with the brand new Red Sox hat. If you’re a real fan, your hat’s not freaking shiny anymore. Tool.

...because just as if he had sexually assaulted her, Ms. Molitor is clearly to blame for Mr. Mixon’s actions because she had a bunch of beers and starting talking shit. So she got what she deserved, right, bro? Sooner Nation, right, bro?

Yes yes yes. I’ve been thinking this and couldn’t find the right words. The sly allusions to how Megyn Kelly must keep her job...

Gretchen Carlson is attacked for speaking out, and Megyn Kelly is attacked (based on speculation) for succumbing. We’re fucked (literally) either way.

“Smegma covered rape-hobbit”?

You, sir or madam, are the future of our democracy. That’s phenomenal.

Nice girls don’t know what “ignoramus” means.

She knew. But in the interest of self-preservation...

First hard news is vague recollections of Reagan assassination attempt (I was 3), but first real sports-related memory, beyond flashes of Packer games on TV (#LynnDickey4lifeee), is the 89 SF earthquake during the World Series. Listened to the news on the radio on the way home from a middle school dance.

I applaud you, but at the same time find it really sad that there will be more people who have allegiance to the football team than care to stop donating to support women’s safety on campus.

Agree 100%.

Hey now. It came from the fancy section, I’m sure.

Two true facts:
1) Sheboygan County is the next county over from Manitowoc, where “Making a Murderer” happened.
2) My husband owns that same shirt. It came from Walmart.

“Nothing is more dangerous than a monster with a clear conscience.”

Truer words were never spoken more concisely. I’m going back to read the article now.

We all do realize that by talking about this to the tune of 800+ comments, we’re doing *exactly* what xoJane and AL want, yes? The woman’s own tagline is, “I write things that become a thing.” And now we’ve helped her accomplish her goal.

She’s worthless. She’s not even a decent writer. So by all means, let’s continue…

I work in higher ed, and we were instructed not to use “lame” as it could be perceived as derogatory to those who are differently physically abled.

So now I just say things are “complete and total bullshit,” though that could be perceived as derogatory to those who are stupid. Or bovine. Or fecal matter.

I swear to God & sunny Jesus that if I knew how to start a clothing company, I would take all the designs from J Crew, Lands End, etc and make them exactly the same, only plus-sized. I would sell them for $25 each. And I would be a fucking millionaire. How hard is this? I’m a 18, which means *sometimes* I can get…

“if academia is supposed to be home to philosophically liberal and enlightened values, then how has the broader project of feminism failed to find much traction?”

There’s your false premise, right there. There is nothing more classist and sexist than an institution of higher education. The behavior we teach our…

Dontcha think?

It’s because they see power as a finite resource. So if someone else gains some, that means they must lose it. They don’t understand that as one is empowered, others can be too.
