I’m not defending this guy, but that is some seriously dubious reasoning. We don’t typically demand proof for mundane claims because the truth or falsity of these claims is largely insignificant. If someone claims that they bought coffee before they went to work, I’m not going to demand to see their receipt. Why?…

Except one of the first rules of logic states that the burden of proof rests with the person who asserts the proposition, not with the person who denies the proposition.

But it is difficult to find white folk who strictly date white folk on those sites.

Right. Because a white person who prefers to date other white people is inherently a white supremacist. Does this line of reasoning apply to black people who prefer to date other black people, or asian people who prefer to date other asian people?

It’s true that there is a documented sentencing gap between black and white defendants. It’s also true that there is another, far larger, sentencing gap between male and female defendants, with female defendants receiving dramatically shorter sentences than a similarly situated male defendant would receive. If the…

There really aren’t “so many” women being murdered in domestic disputes each year. As a proportion of overall deaths (or even overall homicides), the number is actually quite small. You’re thousands of times more likely to die in a traffic accident than be murdered by a domestic partner.

Holy false equivalence, Batman.

Why would that be weird? If someone is from a part of the world where women are badly mistreated and have few rights, then it’s only logical to target that person for re-education.

I don’t see how it’s any different to casting Idris Elba as a Norse god in Thor.

Isn’t that what agents and managers are for? What Hollywood star negotiates for their own pay?

Considering the fact that he was acquitted by a jury, I’m gonna say no.

You reported a colleague for harassment just because he told someone that you were attractive?

Some of disdain for the UN is well founded. It was designed broken. These working groups, in particular, are pretty notorious for being sloppy, amateurish, and just generally non-serious.

This is true.

What research did they do for this report? It sounds like they just compiled a list of hot button issues from American newspapers or from watching John Oliver. There’s no studies or data to speak of (apart from basic and readily available stats on female representation in government). I agree with many, but not all,…

How would they know? Are they speaking from their own anecdotal experiences or have they carefully analyzed all available data on this issue?

That means that even though they knew this guy was a serial rapist, they believed his word over that of the women in half the cases.

It’s not uncommon for a criminal to falsely accuse a police officer of misconduct (including sexual misconduct). It’s understandable that people might initially be skeptical when the first handful of accusations arose. In this case, however, the fact that 13 independent accusers arose who all told similar stories, and…

In all seriousness, the average African has a much lower IQ than the average European or Asian. The black race is of an innately lower intellect. That explains their behavior and the failure of their nations.

Jezebel does this all the time. You’re a monster for even reading this site.
