I love how I'm only starting to get that material possessions are not fulfilling in my 20s, and you grew up with it in your home. Go you!

How did this even get through the first time around?!! No 14 year old in the world sees this rapist and says, "I really want to seduce and fuck that guy"! Why would she even want to? Why would she bother? How could the judge believe she wanted or initiated sex with this guy if that's the reasoning? Of course, even if…

It sounds like pedophilia-based molestation and abuse when you put it that way, and I hope this new judge sees it this way too.

well, I think there is still ethnic prejudice at play. She may be white, but being she is also Latina, and trust me, growing up in Texas especially there was a lot of prejudice against Latino individuals

I'm pretty sure it's officially called the Jezebel defense (which may have previous applied to only black women, but probably all WOC now), but I agree with your sentiment. No way if this was a lily-white daughter of Christ would they be going in this line of defense.

Kyle, teach your kids about the evils of capitalism and have them read Karl Marx, and I'm sure their merch ravenous ways will be abated. Socialism is great for these kinds of things.

Sheeple sounds so cute, though! It could be an animated series that comes on after My Little Pony.

nah, you're cool, I know what you meant. Sorry for being a prickly pear :).

I'm sorry for the knee-her reaction, had kind of a shitty day yesterday. I see where you come from and my comment was unnecessary. I think I really never drew a line between POC feminism and white feminism before I read half-baked shit on Jezebel. It's true fair skin I'd still valued and sought after in the community,…

sorry I accidentally read that as:

It sounds like he's talking about big band swing.

Toad the Wet Sprocket... I nearly fell out of my chair laughing XD! But seriously, I'm glad Lefsetz isn't going to be at the Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley concert in my head, it would kill the vibe. I can imagine him going to see the Smiths or something: "Why are all these non-sluts here? I don't understand!" I guess…

I don't know, every time I see Grumpy Cat, I see Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino, even though she's female. She just seems made for showbiz, a true method actor.

I wasn't talking about Hitman...? I didn't think the death of the woman in the clip of Deus Ex was sexualized, whereas I could see it in the other game clips. That was my point.

God this is so mansplain-y, I'm so done. Sexual violence is often perpetrated by women against men, more so than men against women...wow. I wish I knew what planet you were talking about. Sure, there isn't enough encouragement of male victims to come forward. I have no idea where you live, but this is totally not…

I don't think it's okay to kill a woman in a video game just because you can kill men. My point was the game developers' intention did not involve encouraging players to commit crimes against women nor is it rewarded. I think a lot of typical gamers wouldn't think to randomly kill a woman in the streets. And the game…

Ohhhh, yeah haha. Sorry about that. We are NOT all whores, it's a little too nihilistic.

Key point:

Fair enough, but should we define a "masculine" space as one that includes the degradation of women? Should we consider objectification of women to be a part of natural masculinity? Isn't this idea of "masculine only space" a source of Gender inequality? I think what I'm getting at is we need a new masculinity, one…

Yeah, you're preaching to the choir. That's why POC feminists are annoyed with white feminists.
