It’s not a question here, though, of whether it was a crime when it was committed. According to the law, it was a crime. That does not make her automatically a victim. That’s the problem with strict liability crimes. You don’t actually need a victim. And this question comes up all the time when you discuss, for…

That’s not what she is saying. She is saying it was a good experience. Not that she made the best of a bad experience. Stop trying to change her words and her experience to fit your agenda.

I also can’t ignore that she still looks back on it as a positive experience and does not define herself as a victim. We don’t get to change the narrative for her. She experienced it, not us.

Yeah, but this is inapplicable to her. She still believes, as an adult, that it was not coercion. It bothers me when people take the narrative away from the person they are claiming was a victim. It’s her story and her decision to determine whether she was a victim or not.

Right, but there are still huge problems. For example, the fields that are female-dominated and which pay less are still charging the same for a degree. An 4- year degree in education costs the same as a 4-year degree in engineering. Additionally, as noted in this study, when you get further into your career, men are…

I think the problem is that the schools charge the same for those degrees. Why would a school charge the same for an individual, who is most likely a female, to get a degree in education as an individual to get an engineering degree? And that scheme negatively affects women, because they are the ones more likely to…

I’m an attorney. I work 60 hours a week and make very, very good money. But thanks for the input asshole.

As soon as I saw this headline, I knew the answer was going to be because men make more money. I hate being right about gender inequality.

Scalia: An originalist, as long as originalism supports his conservative, bigoted views.

I know. I can’t believe how incredibly insensitive people are that they feel the need to post memes supporting police officers when one brutally kills an unarmed black person

Yeah, I guess I wasn’t really keyed to it until after the superbowl. And then suddenly the crazies came out about how dare she sing a song and wear clothes that were a tribute to black people. And then everyone turned it into her being anti-police. It really just goes to show how prejudiced our society still is that…

Interesting. I too live in Montana, but did not know that Viagra was not covered (likely because I have never looked into it). But I do remember when birth control was suddenly required to be covered, how men lost their shit. And I believe at that time, there were several private insurance companies covering ED meds.

I don’t think that’s a fair statement. There are plenty of people, Rush Limbaugh for example, who are against providing birth control to women because they think it encourages them to be sluts.

I’m sorry you are such an angry person and that you need to take out your anger on internet strangers. Maybe you should talk to a therapist about that.

You realize that attorneys specialize in many different things right? And, no, I have not been involved in civil rights cases. I have represented women in equal rights cases based upon gender discrimination. Big difference. I am not a criminal attorney. Other than law school, I do not have much training in…

Are you just bored and decided that you needed someone to fight with on the internet to make you feel better about yourself? Because it seems to me that you might be. I’m sorry that you don’t agree with the majority of what I’m saying, but that’s life. Disagreements happen. I could prove you wrong and dox myself on…

Where does it say he was asked to write an “incident” report as opposed to a criminal report? It seems we both might be reading things into the article that are not there.

Really? I read an article at the time the whole birth control coverage thing was a hot topic, and it said that the majority of them did. I wonder if it has changed since then or whether the article was just incorrect?

This reminds me of all the men who got pissed, and are still pissed, that Obamacare requires insurance companies to cover birth control for women. The same insurance companies that were already voluntarily covering Viagra. But, you know, women should only get birth control covered if they’re married and not sinning…

Do you know where the line is? My understanding is that the speech has to actually incite violence in order to be able to criminalize it. It sounds like you are saying that even speech that is just harassing may be criminalized.
