Now, ironically, the money she's made doing porn has disqualified her for what little financial aid she'd been getting.

Can I divulge a bit?

why do people seem to think that learning self-defense and teaching men not to rape are mutually exclusive? no one is blaming the victim if she gets rape, anything she can do to protect herself is good. also no one is blaming rape victims for not knowing self defense. we can try to teach people not to murder or…

It makes no sense to compare what Brooks did with the people profiled in Weingarten's excellent piece. They are completely different scenarios, and it undercuts your argument to put them in the same league. Regardless, I have no problem whatsoever with what Brooks did. You don't need to "tell everyone it's totally OK…

I'm a hardass about these things but they should be tried as juveniles. They are so young they think Slenderman is real and they can go live with him. They are disturbed, and I don't argue that. They are unable to separate reality from fantasy. They are dangerous. But they're not acting from a basis of pure…

Part of being a woman is being shamed for saying yes, and attacked for saying no. And guilty of something either way.

Isha, while I appreciate the focus brought on this hashtag, I think you're extremely wrong to characterize "everyday misogyny" as somehow distinct from the misogyny which fueled Rodger's machinations and eventually his killing spree.

I think the reason why his selfies are taken that way is because there really isn't a visible dick. Otherwise, why so shy?

I like this picture because it shows just how hard these firefighters work to save lives. I also like it because it shows how hot firemen are everywhere.

It seems very apparent to me that a 5 or 6 yr old behaving like that must be very abused at home — but that the school has been so negligent, that's very disturbing. Also, attitudes towards and acceptability/ credibility of therapy very much vary regionally. Here in the Bay Area where I live, therapy abounds as an…

People. Sometimes it's not about gender. It's about size. No one would be super outraged if a seven year old boy or even a male little person kicked and clawed at Becca Swanson (a female body builder), because the odds of Becca being meaningfully hurt by a smaller or weaker person are slim to none. Stop acting like…

"She opened her top and showed them her boobs, which Jennifer says were completely covered in 'the most beautiful angels and beautiful butterflies and baskets of flowers in pastel-colored tattoos.'"

Was the dog's name Shadow? Because my inner child feels it would be appropriate. (sorry, have to go cry now)

I believe that there are certain qualities that may be worthy of rape.

I shall name him Squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy.

I had the same thing happen to me with The Godfather.

This woman needs to go to the police and FBI because of the death threats. This shithead's ISP can be subpoenaed and restraining orders can be filed.

Yes! Shit...what was it called? The main character was "Rox" and her boyfriend was Pepper and she accidentally murdered him by pushing him off a hay loft onto an upturned pitchfork? I remember everything about it except the title.

if only they'd bring back Are You Afraid of the Dark, then we'd really have some 90s preteen horror going.
