Yeah. That's the real tragedy here. The liars who are delegitimizing real victims. Because that's the only way victims of sexual assault are ever delegitimized.

Are you mad about something? I'm here to make and discuss a serious point, not go back and forth with angsty personal attacks. So feel free to continue, but I'm not going to respond any more to you.
Yes. If anything, the norm is that women aren't believed when they report a rape. Even if they are believed, and they work through the official channels (either on the university or criminal side), there are few or no consequences for their attackers.
The Rolling Stone story, and people who refuse to listen to any rational skeptecism of public allegations of crimes like rape, stand in the way of the justice and accountability that they genuinely intend to seek.
If only journalists put as much effort attempting to prove somebody was raped as they have, here, trying to prove somebody wasn't.
Something to keep in mind. Approximately two percent of rape allegations made to police are false, according to various studies, including those cited by the U.S. Department of Justice. It's unknown what percent of rape allegations never reported to police, such as Jackie's, are false. That figure is not the…
I agree with you. The shit with her sister was fucked the fuck up, no two ways about it.
It was an unfortunate coincidence that there was only one guy named Barry at Oberlin when Dunham was in attendance there, and that he was a republican. But the book doesn't specifically say that she's using a fake name, and the guy was doxxed by web vigilantes long before Breitbart found him. He's faced a lot of…
People get mad at her for her sister molestation, so she takes to the air about how SHE is the victim and don't you forget it. Classy.
So calling her sister "sexual property" and dressing her up as a "biker whore," or the stuff she did while her sister was in her early teens: all of that is "normal in context?"
That money should all go towards reparations for the victim, who likely had to pay for years of therapy and counseling.
Too many parents are too fucking stupid to be parents.
Why are you putting down dental hygienists or whatever as being failures? WTH.
Not losing your mind over education is good... Now the kid will be able to recognizen drugs that may cross his/her path someday.
Generally speaking, we try to teach people basic life skills at least a little bit before we expect them to actually use them. You have to practice driving a bit before you get a license, etc. So, sure, 13 and 14 are on the young side to be having sex, which doesn't mean that some of those kids aren't already sexually…
I used to be in a Theatre troupe as a teen run by planned parenthood. We taught about teen sex issues through skits and then a Q&A at the end. What we taught was no different then what i learned in sex ed at school. One time a local newspaper said that we were all obviously sexually promiscuous and were trying to…
Y'all I just can't take much more. The stupidity. The hypocrisy. The inability to piece together basic information in order to come to a logical conclusion. The refusal to be moved by facts and evidence. My brain, IT CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE
If teenagers insist on having sex, let's make sure they feel guilty and ashamed and have issues (or unwanted children) which will ruin sex for them forever. That'll learn 'em!
I'm kind of mad at liberal parents not standing up and saying this shit is fine. Where are the drag down to the floor fights over this stuff?
