Yeah. It's common for people (including a lot of writers on Gawker Media) to double down and try to defend themselves and rationalize and make excuses to minimize their errors after they make mistakes. Thanks, Anna, for not doing any of that, and for offering a sincere apology instead!

I also find it helpful to immediately find the nearest white male and allow him to confirm or deny that I was raped.

A year is extremely optimistic. I still hear the Duke Lacrosse case come up regularly. I doubt we're ever going to hear the end of this one.

It's still true that very, very few rape accusations are false. It's still true that UVA's system for dealing with rape accusations is fucking atrocious.

...What?

...y...it

I love that you don't understand what this actually means.

Asking for civility and political correctness from the porn industry?
Didn't I just see a Hello Kitty and Frozen porn mentioned on this website some weeks ago?

Well that says it all doesn't it?

The problem is that those men don't see women as their peers. They see them as sexual objects that are beneath them.

If men can't control their biology, then they're clearly not fit to serve in the military, let alone serve on submarines. It's a shame they're so irrational and incapable of controlling their emotions.

Which is amazing since it's a much better argument for why men shouldn't be serving since they can't control themselves.

I actually had a couple of guys try to explain to me how Elliot was actually a feminist. I refused to even listen to that drivel so I don't know what the explanation was.

I AM tired of this reply. Comparing the incomparable does an injustice to both sides. Nothing that even the most disgusting gamergate trolls have said or done is in any way comparable to this artrocity, while on the other hand trivializing mass murder by associating it to a recent social media issue does not do…

Mass murderer: "I killed these women because I hate feminists!"

Acknowledging that violence against women is caused by something rather than some huge cosmic accident is actually a partisan issue. It requires the admission that things like misogyny and the patriarchy are real.

To admit would be to lay bare a need for action. Therefore, if no action to change is desired, then one cannot admit. Bastards.

"he waz just mentally ill ....nothing to do with rape culture which doesn't exist u crazy feminists.....why are U BEING SEXIST AGAINST MENZ!!!!!!!!"

When I heard of the misogynistic rantings of the UCSB shooter, the first thing I was reminded of, was the massacre at the Ecole Polytechnique.
