Is this not the same thing as shoe designers raising the price of their heels from $300 to $900 post-Sex and the City? It's about making sure that the people buying your products are in a certain class. And SatC made it seem like the average woman should be buying designer heels, so Louboutin and his ilk had to raise…

This reminds me that my mom used to tell me not to sit like a frog, because I used to like sitting with my legs up and spread wide apart. For years I've been glad she never used the term "ladylike" or "like a princess" when it came to my behavior. I think she knew that growing up with only brothers was going to…

Not to mention the blatant double standard if she's only making such comments to the granddaughters and not the grandsons.

MOOOMM!!!!!

The fact that we are imprisoning these social animals in godamn concrete bathtubs so they can do tricks sickens me. Time to free all captive animals from our man-made prisons and concentrate on conservation.

It seems like most of the people involved in the actual rape confessed to the same events as the victim, and the only people denying it are the people who weren't there.

But what I'm saying is that everyone lies. As the OP pointed out, if you weren't going to prosecute any crimes committed against children who sometimes lied, you wouldn't ever be prosecuting any crimes against children.

"But you were DRINKING that night? And you VOLUNTARILY went to a party full of older boys? And you ACCEPTED more alcohol off them? DIDN'T YOU REALISE THIS WOULD HAPPEN? WEREN'T YOU ENCOURAGING THEM WITH YOUR TEXTS? ISN'T IT TRUE YOU HAD A CRUSH ON THIS BOY?"

This whole thing is still fucking depressing.

Oh, teenagers lie sometimes when they're in stressful situations? YOU DON'T SAY.

Right. A 13/14 year old's story (after blacking out, after suffering trauma, while probably very humiliated) isn't consistent? You don't say.

It speaks to a larger issue of corruption. Same can be said for politics. Why can we not have a system of government that does not require leaks and investigative journalism to be held to the standards of truth, openness, and honesty.

I think that solutions to sexism that put the onus on the oppressed group are not real solutions to sexism. Assholes are assholes, but that doesn't excuse them from accountability.

Yeah... As someone who had a bilateral mastectomy at the age of 26 (!) from a breast cancer diagnosis... Fuck these guys.

Yeah, as I said over at Gawker, I'd really like to see the full footage. How much prodding did they have to do to get the girls to agree to this. "C'mon, don't you want to help? What if your mom had cancer?"

Let a man sexually assault you or you have no sense of humor and you don't care about breast cancer.

I consider gunning the engine and using my car as a ram every time I see a pink sticker that says "save the tatas" on the back of a pickup truck.

You know what? Fuck this. Fuck anyone who ties their donation to an arbitrary requirement like 'let me motorboat you' or linked to 'number of shares'. The same as donating 1% of sales of your shitty pink product. Charity isn't fucking charity if you're tying it in with your own self interest, it's just a nasty and…

Defund obamacare or I'll shutdown the government! HILARIOUS.

Regarding the "what's next?", I'm wondering if they're going to offer a bit of tongue action to help fight ovarian cancer. Probably not though because that wouldn't be as sexually gratifying for them.
