“I don’t believe you change hearts,” Mrs. Clinton says, summarizing her basic view of social policy movements. “I believe you change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate.”

Those remarks are the most insightful I have seen from any candidate currently running for president.

Why should people of color trust her after she lobbied for the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which included the three strikes provision?

So here she is actively asking to listen, rather than dictate from a place of white privilege, and still THAT’s not good enough?

I guess I’m the odd Black girl out who actually liked that idea that Hillary was asking them for a plan as opposed to thinking that she as a privileged white woman can just assume what she comes up with will work. Also, I don’t think she needs to apologize for supporting the messed up things Bill did in the past. I

“Activists paving the way for people with power to act?”

Being a high school health/wellness teacher this will be most valuable in the upcoming school year as I continue, continue to talk about self esteem, battling the societal norms. (And the term battle hardly describes what young girls and women in general are up against.) This poor kid...and, even the alleged rapist,

I need to punch this. Many times. With a concrete brick.

Following the alleged rape, she exchanged friendly Facebook messages

I’m at St. Paul’s right now, this is graduation weekend, I cannot be dramatic about this,

I’m pretty deep into feminism, and I’m still shocked at how my entire core squirms when I act out against the conditioning to be “polite” and “cool.”

“I tried to be as polite as possible.”

This really struck me enough to make an account and post. I want to copy and paste this article any time I see someone on Facebook posting that everyone understands what consent is, it’s just that some guys don’t care. I saw it a ton when that cartoon comparing sexual consent to consent in other situations (finishing

“I was telling myself, ‘O.K., that was the right thing to do, you were being respectful.’ ”

I fully identify with not wanting to make a fuss. I think as third party supporters all we can do is write her positive messages should she ever click on this link. I know I found a lot of strength in coping with my own sexual assault with all of the fun, witty, larger-than-life commentators on this.

“I wanted to not cause a conflict,” she said.

It’s heartbreaking because it’s such a commonplace quintessential rape story. The rapist gradually convinces her step by step to adjust her boundaries to accommodate him while she worries the whole time about hurting his feelings as she tries to protect herself. After he rapes her unlike most victims she’s actually

Every word of her testimony has been so heartbreaking, and so compelling. She so bravely and clearly articulates the confusion and the power dynamics at play, all the while making it absolutely clear where and when he crossed the line. I don’t think there’s a woman alive who could read what she’s said and not see one

This whole thing is the problem I have with teaching girls to, “Act like a lady.” This poor girl. You can tell she has been conditioned her whole life to be polite, quiet, timid, so she didn’t even feel she could speak up while being violated. This is horrible.

WCVB reports that the girl returned to St. Paul’s School in the fall, but left in November.

I'm a graphic designer and I'm pretty disgusted at the comments made by other designers or designers in training. Are you all scared that people are going to learn your tricks of the trade? That your so called talent isn't going to be considered talent anymore because it can be taught to the masses? All I've read so
