Yes it is! No consent = sexual assault. Judging from your comment you think it's alright if you "play with" your girlfriend when she's asleep and then livestream it. I shudder for anyone with the misfortune of being your gf since you clearly aren't capable of respecting her. She's not your toy you fucktwat.

What she said about male gender being "unmarked" is spot on. You see this everywhere. A simple example is the restroom sign. Why does a human shape with one head, two arms and two legs signify male, but the female sign must have a skirt?

I read the science daily article linked, and found this summary

That analogy doesn't work, because we actually have laws against mugging, and we actively police them. The problem with online harassment is that it is an enforcement blindspot. Even people in charge of policing, like Elizabeth Wyand, are more willing to turn a blind eye. So if we shift blame to the victims, we…

I would hazard a guess that Elizabeth Wyand had experienced harassment herself, despite faithfully following her own advice.

I always wondered why internet trolls are so rampant. Now I know another reason: it is because of people in charge of moderating, like her, not willing to do their job. I get it, changing the status quo is difficult. It is far easier to lay the blame on the victim than actually taking a stand against bullying. It's…

More facts have come out about this case.

I think the reality is the opposite. A lot of voters are going to vote for Weiner precisely because he is a man and has shown contrition for past mistake. Can a woman make a comeback like Mark Sanford? Not likely. Female politicians are put under way more scrutiny, and their past mistakes won't be easily forgiven.

I'm a rat person. Their tiny ear is just adorable!

I'm wondering if you know what that means. Being human doesn't mean been led around by your dick all day, thinking nothing but animal urges. Rabbits can do that and do it better than you. You have to recognize you live with other people, and they do not deserve to be subject to your lewd ogling all the time. You…

Here you are blaming women for taking on objectifying jobs, but later you insist that women's body should always be "object of lust". Do you not see you are the one perpetrating the objectifying (i.e. the real one to blame)? Your argument is fraught with hypocrisy. It must be hard when everything word that come out of…

I agree with you, they ruined her life for no good reason. On the other hand, in this case they are doing something good, and I want to encourage more conscientious actions like this.

The cases where rape victims actually have a chance to get justice are so rare these days, I don't want to pick on the method to get it done. If internet vigilantism can spur police into action, I would cheer them on.

I have no sympathy for the rapists. They ruined their own lives by committing a crime. They got what they deserved. You are pretending as if they are innocent boys who somehow got swept into a tragedy. The only innocent one here is the victim, and she deserves justice.

Men need to be worthier boyfriends so women can rely on them more—is what I think this article is saying. I don't agree though. No matter how reliable the men become, I still wouldn't sacrifice career goals for them.

Agreed. We have not reach the point yet where telling women to be LESS independent is even a concern. Many women still set aside their own life for guys.

I feel proud of her that she talked to the police, even though that went nowhere. They deemed that no crime was committed. Is that really true? There is definitely some form of coercion when a powerful recruiter asks for sexual favor in his car.

He meant that raising men not to be women is a cultural practice, and this practice is harmful. He is criticizing this culture, so there is really no insult.

I'm a little disappointed because I wanted him to be convicted in court. I think that would have set a better example than him getting killed. But considering that justice is often rare in rape cases, this is not a bad outcome. At least there is one fewer rapists walking off free.

I'm a minority, low income woman myself...Still the biggest issue for me is gender inequality. If we focus on ALL the other issues First, like you said, men and women still won't be equal until the end. Frankly why does gender inequality has to wait until all the other issues and privileges are solved? Women have…
