Of course you can't blame the officers. If they hadn't ran they wouldn't have went into the pond. But at the same time like I said, a lot of people on here seem to be fine with the fact that 3 kids just drowned. Mistake or not, bad behavior or not that's wrong.

Her opinion IS rape culture.

Gurl...just cuz you old don’t make you wise. .

The fact that men, boys, and abusers grow up hearing from people like her that rape is wrong and inexcusable, but understandable if a woman dresses a certain way because men are attracted to women is the problem. Men and boys have grown up for thousands of years hearing too much of the "That's against the law, and you…

If wearing longer skirts or otherwise dressing “modestly” had any effect on rape, what she said would not be a problem — it would be an unfortunate reality. But it doesn’t.

Who is this person and why does she have C3PO’s finger?

The problem is that it's been proven that dressing modestly DOESN'T keep women and girls (or anyone else) safe from rapists, and that it sends boys, men, and abusers the wrong message when they constantly hear that women and girls need to avoid dressing a certain way in order for them not to rape.

I am doubling down on my opinion on her face jewelry: it is gross.

The real question: where’s the clitoris of discernment?

I wish I could double-star you for “Switch lives with a commoner who looks just like you”

Right? Make them take a mystery pill 3 times a day. Could be placebo. Could be a laxative. Could be an Ambien. Could be an emetic....

every guy’s apartment i’ve been to, there have been no trash cans in the bathrooms. thank you for having tampons and i guess i’ll just put the trash in my bag.

Period blood is only part of the whole period experience. Were they forced to use stool softeners to get period shits? What about a cramp machine? What about having to pass blood clots?

I would lay face down in the dirt and thank the almighty if the worst thing about having a period is bleeding through clothes, pads, and tampons. This experiment does nothing to share women’s experiences because what’s missing is the extreme pain (for years I would black out, faint, be susceptible to a raging fever,…

They should treat them. To an ice cream cone after their pediatrician’s appointment.

I wish I had it in me to be angry. Instead I find I am tired. I hope these women feel some small sense of peace knowing how many conversations about victim blaming are occurring today that wouldn’t have otherwise taken place. I hope they know that even if they didn’t get the verdict they wanted, in the future there…

Judge: “there is no tangible evidence, dna, smoking gun, just the testimony of the women”.

The ‘just’ in that sentence really gets me. Like it’s so inconsequential that three different women on three separate occasions had these experiences.

I am so gutted.

I am angry at the foster family for contributing to the spectacle of this case. They wanted to adopt her but that was not an option. They knew that. And all foster parents are repeatedly told that they should be prepared for it to be a temporary (even four year) placement.

I tell everyone I know: if you get caught in the system, you will be there forever. From probation, to foster care, to getting mother fucking traffic tickets, one slip up can swallow you up forever, especially if you are poverty stricken.
