And believe that if you’re wearing tight jeans, your rapist cannot possibly get them off by himself and therefore you must have helped him and by doing so you consented.

The answer to your question is Italy. Worst criminal justice system in the world. They'll take testimony from astrologers and psychics.

This is creepy for all the obvious reasons, but also because I once wrote almost exactly the same scenario in a short story. Except in my version, he lost his footing trying to get her over the balcony and went falling to his own death.

There are no words for what I just read. No words.

Flying on a plane with your period is just irresponsible. You want to attract flying bears? Because that’s how you attract flying bears.

On behalf of all women and also all flight attendants everywhere FUCK YOU GUYS!

Frankly, I think it’s just stunningly childish and irresponsible that these people would get on airplanes without up to date Cooties vaccinations in the first place.

Thank you! Everyone is so quick to call the airline assholes, but I also see both sides. A medical emergency over the ocean is not what the airline wanted from a woman who already proclaimed herself as feeling "weak." Sure, they could have handled it better, but people make mistakes, and I'm sure Alaska (an airline I…

You know what's a real inconvenience? Lawsuits.
