These women are so damned brave, they deserve better.

Brock Turner (and countless other) men rape women and get a slap on the wrist, and these idiots are trying to pretend courts favor women. Fucking lol

How many times has a woman been told that words are not prosecutable, that it takes a man “actually doing something” to prosecute?

Instead, she actively persuaded him to kill himself, while knowing that he was, in fact, killing himself. And he did. That’s a huge difference, factually and legally.

But I can’t help noticing that the “landmark” case for social media and texting jeering is a young woman.

I honestly don’t know how I feel about this verdict. I mean, everything I’ve read about the case tells me this girl is horrible and morally culpable, but I just don’t know enough about the law to say whether she’s legally culpable. And even if she is, I don’t know that I think she should be.

Let’s be real, they’ll just say “yeah but that was before I knew her better (read: heard more of her detractors hurl misogynistic insults at her) and learned she was a relentless shrill power-crazy harpy. Not like [liberal female politician of medium prominence at the time], who I really would vote for for president.”…

Make a list of every potential woman. Then we can cross reference the inevitable Nolan thinkpieces about the candidate and her credentials with the 2o16 posts lauding and/ or lambasting her. Because in the eyes of many self described progressive men, a woman is okay in the figurative sense until she challenges a man’s…

Kamala Harris is the only Senator on the judiciary committee who’s an actual prosecutor. This seems to especially bother John McCain (who’s been sitting in and interrupting her despite NOT being a member of the committee).

That asshole had the nerve to say his perspective was objective because hysteria is for women and objectivity for men. Ugh

Who books these CNN pundits? Anderson Cooper lost it and told Jeffrey Lord “If Trump took a dump on his desk, you’d defend it,” but Lord keeps being invited back for what reason? Is it THAT difficult to get sane and competent people to sit in on a national TV show panel? Or do they keep bringing him back because…

It feels like this is the beginning of the 2020 presidential race, where people like Kamala Harris, if not Kamala Harris herself, will be running and we will once again be subjected to widespread sexism and misogyny (and if a candidate is a women of color, racism too) which then white men will gaslight us and deny it…

I’ve had discussions where individuals try to dismiss the use of the word as “non-gendered” because the word does legitimately describe a specific psychological state of extreme emotionality that is applicable to both men and women.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint: The state’s case was infinitely stronger than the defence’s.

The sad, sad truth is that you don’t need to be Cosby to get this result in a rape trial. I’ve seen it first hand as a juror...

When commenting on a Cosby post on this very site I was called, and I quote: “a millennial cunt bag”.

“You expect mea culpas from every other corner, but have you actually reflected on your decisions in 2016?”

Point is, a lot of people would say that about anime in general. Maybe let people enjoy things rather than being a dick?
