The fact that this is the biggest question you have after reading this story is a reason why violence against women is still so prevalent. Here’s an obtuse answer to an obtuse question. The majority of abusers are super charming and loving in their good moods. They also find ways to slowly chip isolate the person they…

Trying to establish someone’s guilt based on what their reactions to traumatic events is a fool’s errand. There is no standard way for a person to respond to accusations that they are responsible for the tragic death of their sister 20 years ago.

That settles it then.

Because corporatism is not liberal, and that is the true government of every state in this country.

Look on the bright side, maybe they’ll keep him!

I am tired of talking about how stupid these people are. They are stupid and they are never going to get any smarter. There is no amount of edumacation that will disloge their fantasy world. The only question that we should grapple with now is: can we continue to coexist, indefinitely, with people who live in a…

Mnuchin and Two Chin

According to her testimony (which the jury clearly believed), he raped her. If you’re looking for a logical connection between his actions and her reaction, here goes: she cut off his penis so he wouldn’t be able to rape her with it anymore.

The penis actually has no nerve endings, it’s sensitivity is a myth.

The problem with sharing this on Jezebel is that you’re not prepared for all the straight guy comments :(

Eh. I don’t mind the casting that much, but couldn’t we get an adaptation of The Vampire Lestat instead of an Interview remake? Wolf-hunting in the snow, 18th century Paris, the Theater of the Damned- it’s a hell of a lot more interesting than meeting mopey Louis again. Louis is the worst.

But why is she automatically the Ernie Hudson’s replacement? And why not blame these filmmakers for keeping that aspect the same? They’ve already changed the genders of the characters, they’ve already added a blonde-haired blue-eyed ghostbuster.

We must not talk about this issue with the same people. Almost every time I bring up sexual assault, a man tries to dismiss my concerns by mentioning that men are raped, too. And they never care about male victims, of course. It’s just a go-to rebuttal that attempts to shut women up.

This was Kim Howe:

This has been lots of fun (sarcasm mode, obviously) over here, because the shitbats of Australia are having to choose between losing a chance to be rape apologists or losing a chance to be racist about brown people.

Yeah, I mean, painting your face in any kind of color has the potential to backfire, but I’m having a hard time getting upset at these women for painting themselves glittery purple and wearing tinfoil antennas. And this whole thing is also a good reminded that anyone who thinks pictures don’t lie is naïve as fuck and…

Vince Gilligan created the very good Breaking Bad. It’s not possible that he’s ever done anything questionable!

I really do wonder what happened. Apparently Dana’s father had fathered another child a year or so previously that was also being cared for by the Fox family - which makes me wonder who the mother was and if this guy is just going around raping and impregnating disabled women, and how that is being allowed to happen.

I agree that her only getting 2 hours a month to see her baby is bullshit, though I’m inclined to believe there is a lot more to the story than we know especially if her own parents were sketchy and in the system themselves.

I feel for her and while I’m glad she got her daughter back, the state and the hospital were doing their job, which was to protect the child. I’m a pediatrician and see many parents who, to be completely honest, shouldn’t be taking care of their children without help. I’m not saying everyone with some developmental…
