It makes me wonder if Judge Persky were to fall to the ground and have a seizure, and Brock Turner were to bugger him, would Brock get a longer sentence? How about if Judge Persky took a sleeping pill and fell asleep on his front lawn, and Brock (!) penetrated him somewhere, how long would Turner get? Is it the use of…

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

Guys, fellas, peoples of the gaming community, sit with me for a second. I won’t take too long.

Many of the staunchest advocates against domestic violence against women are the “chivalrous” kind of sexist.

I’ve never heard of one, but I believe there have been a few cases where mothers who “let” a man rape or kill their children received harsher sentences than the rapist or murderer. And there have definitely been multiple cases, as VulcansAreHeartBreakers talks about above, where they have received sentences that were…

Convicted rapists can get very harsh sentences. I don’t think the problem is really that rape as a crime isn’t taken seriously. It’s more that women are so rarely believed when they report it. It’s like people want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it doesn’t really happen that much. For some reason it’s…

Have you ever read Alice Sebold’s Lucky? It was so horrifying, for just that reason.

Right? People who defends rapists (and I don’t mean lawyers - I mean families/friends/commentators on blogs, etc) will first argue the he said/she said defense, but then when there actually is a witness - which is so rare - it doesn’t convince them of guilt anyway.

Yeah. Anyone who knows anything about alcohol and sex knows that alcohol doesn’t make sex easier. Also, how is it that these guys are always too drunk to realize that their victim is unconscious or crying but not too drunk to get their victim alone, somewhere private; or to remove evidence or run if caught?

No. Not anything. If he got into a car while drunk and hit someone no one would have a problem calling him a murderer. If he got drunk and started a forest fire he would be charged with arson. It’s only when you get drunk and assault a woman that your culpability is debatable.

Naaa, she’ll be fine, she’s probably just about to cash in all the sweet rape money that all women are entitled to after accusing someone of rape.

They never mention the once promising future of the victim who is now saddled with the trauma of rape.

That's why they all end up becoming cops. Which is one reason why we have (and have always had) so many issues with cops.

Remember, sports is the apotheosis of a young man’s life, the pinnacle of his achievements after which all remainder of his sad, sad life will be but an utter disappointment, as man is no longer permitted to use his youthful and supple physique to plunge repeatedly into the water and, floating effortlessly, surprise…

David Willis of Shortpacked! has the best response to this kind of thinking -

It sounds like we all lose out, too, because there are assumptions about what boys like, which is why there is such an emphasis on "goofy, random humor." Nothing wrong with goofy humor, but Dini suggests that story-driven shows get squeezed out in the process.

This is troublesome, but more than likely nothing new. Girls get pink fluffy princess shows crammed down their throats while boys get the cooler super hero shows. Girls are actually discouraged from watching "boy shows", which only worsens the issues with gender inequality. It reinforces them at an early age.

I know there is a lot to complain about, but it amazes that we get anything watchable considering how useless most dirtbag execs are. They try to hide their prejudices and biases behind pseudo-analysis and jargon and you get garbage like what is going on at Cartoon Network. Hopefully if they are called out enough that…

Urgh. It's not just me that's noticed that toys are getting more and gender segregated? I had dolls, toy cars, legos, plasticine, stuffed animals, everything. I really loved my legos. I don't remember feeling compelled to get dolls.
