I find it very... weird how eager her parents are to do interviews and stuff

I’m thinking about what could possibly be going through her head, and really trying to figure out where her heart is, too, and I keep coming up with this hunch that she really was trying to be, I dunno, true to herself somehow...? Or at least she never meant to hurt anyone, in fact quite the opposite...? It has my…

If a piece has worth simply because it attracts vitriolic comments, then there are some true artists hanging out on the Gawker/Jezebel forums. Some people can attract dozens, possibly even hundreds of angry, aggressive comments merely by writing a single-sentence post feigning extreme ignorance or insensitivity to the…

I think she has read too many contemporary-art textbooks, and has found yet another way to transfigure narcissism and sensationalism into art. In addition to whatever else it may be (I don’t feel qualified to comment on her rape allegation), this may be a savvy career move, as she will be much more marketable in the…

The questions were bullshit.

The argument is not that her affectionate messages prior to the alleged rape constitute ongoing consent to anal sex. The argument is that the affectionate messages subsequent to the alleged rape, and the continued record of ordinary communication, do not support the allegation that Nungesser turned spontaneously…

hey! i’m a female and feminist — and i think a lot of jezebel comments/articles demonstrate a lack of critical thought and objective reasoning. which, ya know, maybe that’s ok? these are extremely emotional topics, and women want to support other women and I totally get that. but refusing to look at any other side…

You know the other “three cases” were 1) a woman who said he inappropriately kissed her at a party (university found him ‘not responsible’), 2) a woman who said he ‘inappropriately followed her upstairs at a party’ (university found him ‘not responsible’), and 3) a gay man who said he sexually assaulted him after this…

The Woody Allen case is very different. There's a single allegation, by a single child, with no witnesses present, about a single incident, in the midst of a terrible divorce and custody proceedings, where the mother (Mia) is a terrible head-case who by the testimony of their other children tried to drill these…

I partly agree with ur analysis except I think the guy is guilty of some sort of sexual misconduct. No one gets 4 separate accusations of varying degrees of sexual impropriety by coincidence. but at the same time, CU can't do shit about him based on the established circumstances beyond the he said she said

I think he raped them too but based on information available I can see why CU didn't expel him even with the lessor "preponderence of guilt" standard

this!

I realize this won't make it through feminist censorship, but what the hell, I'll try anyway.

To me, all of that behavior, though not incompatible with rape, is compatible with a person who is emotionally invested and is trying to regain the attention of another who is not really interested in a relationship.

I'm both a victim of rape and of child abuse. I have written kind words to my teenaged abuser (whom I believe to be a good adult now), but I sincerely have tons of trouble with the idea of telling my acquaintance rapist, weeks after the rape, that I need to have a "NonServiam-Rapist love sesh" because I haven't seen…

she decided not to pursue disciplinary action against him for the same reasons many acquaintance rape survivors don't pursue justice against their attackers: it's just too much trouble.
