Drunk driving is a general intent crime, so not necessarily. Rape is a specific intent crime. It is weird to remove all agency from the woman as a result of intoxication, but expect sober and careful judgment from the intoxicated man. Cases like the Stanford swimmer aren’t too helpful, because they are such clearly…

It’s hard to know how to feel about this one. I was in college at the same time as Parker and though this is in no way an excuse, how people thought about consent was not as evolved at that time. Anecdotally, about half of my female friends (myself included) had sexual experiences where we were too intoxicated to give…

Agreed.

Playing Devil’s Advocate here, but why would she take the money (whether she gives it to charity or not)?

Last week Malcolm Gladwell was on TV talking about “moral licensing”, a phenomenon that’s basically when society is generous to one small portion of an oppressed group, they think it gives them license to be shitty beyond belief to that group. So like how if Trevor Noah gets the Daily Show and we have a black comedy…

Would rather have seen Trevor Noah go.

Can we not make this about victimizing women and can we stop with the overuse of the term ~slut shaming? Women are grown ass individuals who should be held responsible for bad behavior. We’re not discussing men right now. Her own roommate is locking her out the night before their biggest day at the Olympics. That’s…

If someone locks me out I will lose my damn mind. Much less if it’s because you want to get laid. Not cool regardless of who does it.

My opinion is who are we to get all offended on someone else’s behalf?

Do you know them? Do you know how people get down in China? Leave the judgement about whether this was fucking awful or whatever up to the people involved.

guys.....her BF knows her. he knows if she would be mad at him for ‘stealing her thunder’ i feel like some of you are projecting here....

I would love it if maybe just once, when talking about the awful “sexism” at the Olympic Games, Saudi Arabia would be mentioned.

This compassion seems to be restricted to white college boys (with some exceptions made for non-white star athletes). I somehow doubt a black or latino, non-athlete college student or even a white guy who didn’t go to college (or, heaven forbid, dropped out of high school) out would provoke the same level of…

Pool Tech here - This is embarrassing. Algae is easily controllable/preventable with proper chemical maintenance. One bottle of “Yellow Quell” would take care of this in 12 hours. I wouldn’t allow anyone to swim in this pool. Why the fuck exactly didn’t they make this an indoor facility?

Unfortunately, unless they are providing men with men-only spaces, then it’s discriminatory.

I was having trouble feeling like a sexual being and was wondering about my own worth.

What do you like about him? He’s done lots of horrible shit. Deportations, drones, whistleblowers, the list goes on...

“What about all the muslims and latinos that are going to be shipped out of the country?”

How dare this movie imply that women can be shallow and petty? Straight up misogyny. Keep fighting the fight, Jezzies, until all female movie characters are fierce, perfectly formed liberal icons.

son, children/family issues had been at the forefront of modern politics for decades prior to 1992. dont act like it wasnt discussed until some white lady brought it up in 92 lol
