Hi, Dan.

Go ahead, assholes. Tell us again how "only white people and like seven Indians" care about this issue.

I think (purely opinion here) it's because, as a journalist/commenter, a huge part of what he writes about is contemporary culture/norms, political trends, what have you. As such he has an obligation to be well-informed about today's world. If his commentary smacks of someone so uninformed as to reflect a sheltered…

I'm guessing he's raped a woman before and any crack down on rape puts him on the defensive. Non rapists don't constantly worry about being "falsely" confused and don't hate the idea of obtaining clear consent.

Paul Begala nailed it, "If the president cure cancer tomorrow, the right would be complaining that he was putting oncologists pout of work."

I'd like to know what prizes he thinks someone wins for being sexually assaulted. Where are people celebrated for this? Sometimes people—usually other survivors—will thank someone for coming forward, but it's not like anyone's throwing the person a parade or giving them straight A's or baking them cookies.

Yup, same. I've actually had the most awkward segue of my life when discussing sentencing terms for various crimes (esp. the laughable sentences for nonviolent drug related crimes vs. rape) and when my thoughts on the matter were being dismissed and I commented that I'm actually really passionate about it b/c I am a…

I'm guessing it's kind of like saying that George Will is an "intellectual."

he pulled it out of his ass, most likely. just like this:

I knew he was bad but this has me floored. You think this is a lark? They never caught the four men who raped me. But I had sooooo much fun pointing fingers. Right.

In fact I was terrified of looking at line-ups since I was roofied and I had few clear memories. I was so scared of pointing out the wrong brothers to a…

The only reason a man could object to women fighting back against rape would be if he were a rapist himself. It explains a lot about George Will, frankly.

HIPAA violations are MAJOR. There are medical privacy laws for REASONS. That idiot Rawls is fucked.

That boggles my mind. I get harassed on the street at least a couple times a week. One day on my 15 min walk from my house to BART (bay area subway) I was holla'd at by 2 groups of men (construction, and car wash), honked at by a dude in a truck, had another dude stop his car in the middle of the street to ask me for…

I've been catcalled twice. Once while I was walking down the street alone and two guys driving by rolled down the window and whistled at me. It was just the three of us within a whole block. The other time, I was out for a jog and two college kids on bikes whistled at me as they passed by. Both times were…

Yeah. I attempted to post earlier, but irritatingly got deleted, that I think rules that arbitrarily and unnecessarily suppress personal expression create a larger distraction for students than hair color, and overall simply serve to erode student's respect for authority.

Yeah, if schools and universities are using that as an excuse, they should just go ahead and institute a "business casual" dress code, which I actually don't think is a terrible idea (at least at the high school and college level). If professionalism ACTUALLY is the issue, solves the problem without having to resort…

My grandmother always bought me SUPER short skirts and tight sweaters as christmas gifts. Then again, she was a rebel in her day.
