They rarely do. And my friend — who is a criminal lawyer and has defended people accused of this crime — usually tries to keep the jury woman-free, or looks for particularly acculturated-to-rape-culture church lady (who will most likely find in his client’s favour).

This was my exact thought. How on earth do they find any women to serve on such juries?!?

Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…

The same man who wants all women in his life (most likely, his daughters included) to pose nude for magazines is also pandering to the anti-porn community.

Out of the grays you come, this is a super important point! I’m a development professional, and have worked for the little local guys as well as the big ones - your money will, 9 times out of 10, go further and be used better with the small ones.

(all caps is a necessity here; apologies in advance for the shouting) PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAAASE DONATE TO LOCAL CHARITIES WITH TIES TO THE COMMUNITY! I know your hearts are in the right place technically by donating to the Red Cross, but dammit, their administrative costs are too fucking high and there are far too…

Salma Hayek wears everything bettah....

I need more women helping/celebrating other women in my life. Even if it’s shameless promotion on both ends.

I was thinking about Britney Spears last night when I was trying to figure out how long I’ve been reading Jezebel. The first article I read on Jezebel was about Britney’s 2007 performance at the VMA’s.

Preeeetty sure Britney (and all of her money) is still under the control of her conservators... The clothes and signed albums are probably the only thing that is truly hers to give...

This is 1,000% better than the shit show that Donald Trump brought to Louisiana. And no, I’m not just talking about Mike Pence.

Netflix has actually created a pretty pretty large budget around this film for activism and education (someone I know is leading their organizing efforts) so while fatigue is understandable, there are those fighting this fight—beyond the cultural contribution of simply documenting this—and this film will be shown in…

We have a 15-year old daughter and a 13-year old son, and I think it’s important that we all watch this together as a family. Boys need to get the message loud and effing clear, and girls, sadly, need to think about how to protect themselves from predators disguised as peers. The knowledge that these rapists take…

Nextflix and rage.

I think that names are also susceptible to shifts in pronunciation in diaspora, albeit to a lesser extent than other parts of language. If that’s the pronunciation that she has always heard from her own family, I don’t think the German pronunciation is any longer more “correct” for that branch of the family. People…
