I’m not denying that this is true as a general proposition (mostly because I’m not an asshole who believes that women cavalierly “cry rape” at every opportunity), but I see the “statistic” of false rape allegations thrown around a lot on this blog, and no one ever explains where the number (usually less than 5%) comes…

I don’t think there was any video or he wouldn’t have been allowed to plead down to a lesser charge. If a video of a 44 year old man raping and sodomizing a 13 year old girl while she begged him to stop existed, there would have been no pleaing down, no bail and no fleeing.

Oh, sure. That’s why trials only feature testimony from expert witnesses and cops, never victims. Dumbass.

Her testimony is evidence.

What I hate is how often with the likes of Penn or Sheen and so many others is it gets written off as them being a “bad boy.” It just gets lumped in with their other bad behavior, as if it’s no different than philandering or going on a bender. They weren’t weren’t being “bad boys” they were fucking abusive

Yeah, I’m uncomfortable with the argument that it’s our responsibility as bystanders to believe her right off the bat. No, it’s our responsibility to react in a way that doesn’t make her regret coming forward and doesn’t deter other victims from doing the same. If people choose to believe her that’s absolutely fine,…

Basically, we just have to see what happens next. If other women come forward with allegations, then there’s probably be more to it than this - and the fact that several women in the adult film industry have backed her on twitter suggests that he’s at least got a bad reputation. Deen could also probably file a lawsuit…

Kayden Kross’s second tweet referenced “six women say[ing] it,” but there were no details. Does anybody know what the heck she was talking about? ‘Cause if there are five other women claiming to be victims, that’s plenty to satisfy any lingering doubts.

If we’re honest, none of us were ever going to “do” anything beyond some empty, pointless social media posting, so I think the thing to do is sit back and keep our mouths shut and let them and the legal system sort it out for themselves.

“You can say you support feminism. But don’t say you’re an actual feminist.”

what about black men being called feminist if they some nice things about women? why white?

I get it. We are not juries; we don’t need to decide right this moment. We can wait and watch and reserve our reactions for for some other time. We can extend symapthy for Stoya and deal with it later if new information arises. We can be kind now, and that is what matters.

My brother lives in Stockholm and confirms that there is a lot of “activity” going on there at the moment. The threat level has been raised to 4 (out of 5), which is unprecedented in the 20 years he has lived there. There have been a couple of arrests in the last week or so of people who were suspected of plotting to…

When a 16 year old American posts an insensitive comment on Twitter = “16 years old is enough to know what’s right and wrong, we should ruin their life for being a horrible racist”

Sorry, but prepare to be greyed. The official position is that every culture and nation are totally equal in every way — even if they contribute to terrorism or like to chop little girls’ vaginas up!

I’m not surprised that they were of Bosnian descent. There are a lot of Bosnians fighting for ISIS. Interestingly (and not surprisingly), the country that contributes the most ISIS fighters (per capita) of all EU countries is Belgium (Sweden is second). http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/belgiu…

Whatever happened to doing drugs and fucking boys?

I’d say “at least this might convince other girls who are thinking of joining ISIS that it’s a truly terrible idea.” But not really. If the beheading videos and terrorist attacks on innocents made you root for ISIS, you are probably the sort of person who thinks “well, clearly that girl must have done something wrong,…

Or starting a shitty band with your friends?

What ever happened to running away and joining the circus? Hanging out with lions has to be a hell of lot safer than being with Daesh.
