“University of Maryland is the only college they know of that is charging their students to specifically handle their sexual assault cases.”

Arrggg I hear that all too common. Even with police officers. As a minor you don’t HAVE to talk without your parents there. And even as an adult you don’t have to talk without a lawyer. They just take advantage of the fact that you’re ignorant and young to get you to say something damming.

I’m unsure as to why someone under 18 is being tried as an adult. The entire point of legal adulthood or childhood is to create a difference between how adults and children are treated legally. There are actual purposeful murdering children who haven’t been tried as adults. Why do we insist kids are just kids and…

In some ways it makes sense (disappointing and disgusting but makes sense) considering how we bend over backwards to protect rapists and sex offenders or just asshole dudes in general while constantly blaming victims for things out of their control. I’m sure the VA fired him to cover their own asses and avoid any more…

Of all the white washing fails, casting Mulan as a white woman would probably be the worst. Like would that movie still even be set in China at that point? Because how the hell else would you explain a random white chick being dropped in the middle of a homogenous Asian society? It would actually be ridiculous in a…

“he does not wish to back down on a ban against aborting children with Down Syndrome”

Is this such a massive issue that they’re willing to ALSO ban abortions in cases of rape, incest, and the mother’s life?

Makes sense he wants to fuck her. That’s the next logical step for someone who probably actually has narcissistic personality disorder. I mean, wouldn’t they want to then just fuck their own image? Their kid?

Right? And like so what if she were an actual literal whore? Does that mean she would deserve to be violated and robbed? It’s so rude and callous to believe and say things like that.

oOOOhhhh that makes sense. Thanks!

This article is confusingly written. “Thus far unarmed” indicates he wasn’t armed at all? Or unarmed at the time of the police stopping him? Are the police claiming that the boy fired shots at them and thus they fired back? Or are we implying he wasn’t armed ever and the police are lying?

EDIT: So after reading the…

You really do have to watch seasons 3 and 4. I completely understand if you just can’t drag your way through season 2 but since you already did I swear to GOD seasons 3 and 4 are fantastic. The hardest (an honestly most disappointing and agonizing) part is over! No the series as a whole can’t hold a candle to the Last…

As a therapist, an 8 person family therapy session sounds like a headache.

Ah the old “lots of consensual sex means you can’t have non-consensual sex” argument. Obviously if you’re someone who enjoys sex and has it frequently of your own volition with lots of different people it is then IMPOSSIBLE for you to NOT want sex with someone.

That’s kind of hilarious. One of the criticisms about the wage gap is the very real reality that the more money you have the better health care you can afford. Except now the more money you have the more you can afford to furnish your own ill informed ideas about “health” and thus pay top dollar for WORSE health care.

Serious question. Can someone explain how it all ended up costing $700,000? Or more?

People love to talk about how in the grand scheme of things we live great lives compared to those in other countries. We don’t experience real oppression or fear. I mean in other countries people are being beaten, murdered, and raped with impunity. It’s not like that happens here in the US.

I’m not sure why politicians aren’t freaking out about this as much as Ebola. Is it because it isn’t fatal unless you’re an infected newborn child? Or is it because it can be spread sexually? Or both? Because from what I’ve learned Republicans will do anything to keep you from aborting a child, no matter the issues,…

It’s kind of unfortunate how insistent her reps have to be that she is NOT taking a hiatus due to some sort of substance abuse. Like it’s a source of shame and mockery if it’s due to some sort of addiction when those people are also dealing with a lot of shit. It’s also sad just because we assume that if someone takes…

“The police say Gao confessed to the killings, which began in August of 1988"

Guys. I was born in August of 1988. Not sure what that means but it definitely weirds me out...?

I still can’t get over the fact that Stanford decided to go with the whole drinking thing. Did they also have some kind of safe sex and consent awareness initiative we just don’t know about? Or are they literally just going to blame alcohol for all the rape that goes on and warn women to drink less? Bullshit.
