They really flogged the shit out of that straw feminist.

Lest anyone too young to know might think the draft dodger angle is the biggest insult in this tweet, refusing to call him Ali, and instead insisting on calling him Clay was the racist dog whistle of choice back then. Racist whites refused to do so for years after.

I haven’t heard that one before, but it’s one of the more plausible “this isn’t really a tomb” scenarios. I think it’s safe to say the Great pyramid was meant to show off the Pharaoh’s wealth and power whether he was buried there or not. I’m still assuming he was buried there...remember, it’s not terribly surprising…

ugh you know gawker is full of white-girl feminism. fuck people of color and lgbtq people.

Please. Everyone knows they were built to store grain.

No. It won't. These people don't think of others that way. It's all about them, all the time. In his head, this is either her fault or the fault of the guys who stopped him. Ergo, it won't impact him in any way. Except to perhaps make him resentful of the people he blames for this, of course.

You are right. Before I made that wish, I should have wished for him to grow a conscience.

It’s almost as though the punishment SHOULD be impactful

Just remember, this is a conviction, the best case scenario the other 97% of victims do not ever come close to.

Yep. That quote from the judge -

This is all I've got.

3 fucking months for raping someone because I guess you get points for not raping anyone (or getting caught raping anyone) in the past! I mean one measly rape isn’t that bad you guys.

I almost quite literally gave her a standing ovation at my desk. What a strong, powerful, deeply personal statement. I simply cannot understand how a living, breathing human being can stand there listening to, “ I had to force myself to relearn my real name, my identity. To relearn that this is not all that I am.” and…

Nice, another one of these fucking kinds of judges. Fucking hell.

This like the 3rd this week I hopped on Jez just to hop right back off

It should be noted that Judge Persky is both a Stanford alum and an advocate for civil commitment/indefinite detention of what he terms “sexually violent offenders” (Except, you know, affluent white ones.)

And people wonder why women do not report they have been raped. Because people like Judge Aaron Perksy are more interested in rescuing the perpetrator than ensuring justice for Brock Turner’s victim.

She is much more articulate than I could be, in her shoes. I hope she has a future in victim advocacy, or at least some sort of public speaking.

Use his name in your title to make sure his conviction stays in teh top of Google searches fro as long as possible. The Judge may have prevented him from serving a correct sentence but that doesn’t stop you from making Brock Allen Turner suffers as much harm as possible due to his RAPE of a woman.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.
