Just reverse the genders and ask yourself how this story by a guy would be reviewed by jezebel

You can end up having to watch your parents slowly die no matter how old you or they are. Or they could abruptly die 20 minutes after the baby is born. Should you just not have a baby just in case they have to experience your death?

As awful as it will be for him and his partner?

Something tells me this “conflict” was one-sided considering the Jamaican Barbie insult Becky tried it with.

I found out about this because my husband was literally gagging after reading about it on Shawn King’s facebook.

...and the response of the school literally made me want to throw up.

I mean, my first college roommate used to let his buddies shoot up in our shared bathroom and my response was to write a Strongly Worded Letter. Becky is next level sociopathic (and racist, obviously).

Ugh. Damn you for reminding me of those vile people. I forgot about that precious line about steak...

The woman AND the school (for allegedly attempting to brush this assault under the rug).

“Rowe says the school threatened to remove her from campus if she was caught talking about what happened to her.”

Honestly, it’s time to start shaming the parents. Didn’t we hear about the supposed issues of Tamir Rice’s parents before the child was even buried? If her parents don’t denounce her then they’re complicit imo. This is where the internets can use its powers, out them all.

Seriously. How did your parents teach you so little about how to deal with things? You have an issue with your roommate and this is how you choose to handle it? This is how animals mark territory, not how humans should interact.

Oh my God, woman. You are killing me with those names. And then you had the nerve and audacity to end with “Kathy and Bill.”

When you have a conflict with your roommate, the appropriate response is to talk to them about it, and if that fails then have a discussion with the RA. You don’t resort to biological warfare over personality conflicts. I doubt Ms. Rowe is going to get any kind of justice for this, however :(

On Oct. 18, Rowe was asked to sign a “no contact agreement,” meaning that she would have no communication with her roommate.

And how about serving that 6 month prison sentence and paying that fine too?

The “mysterious female species” myth needs to die a death. We’re all just people.

loootsa different angles to say the woman’s at fault

This is what I was thinking. My personal history is wilder than that and I wouldn’t consider myself kinky. (Also love your point about heteronormativity. This is basically saying that almost everything I did with my ex was default kinky because we were two women??)
