There’s also the fact that the victim was a boy, but yeah, I’d say that we can agree on that.

Statistically speaking, a woman would get a lighter sentence than a man. Just can’t deny that.

I know that men receive very light sentences all too often, sometimes none at all, but are they equally light? I don’t think so. Women get lighter sentences than men for the same crime, and that’s an undeniable fact.

I am not saying that the sentences they get are fair. I am aware of how flawed the system is when it comes to prosecuting rape and sexual assault. I am just saying that a woman can get away with it much easier than a man can, and that’s an undeniable fact.

I agree, but I think that you’re missing is the #femaleprivilege in this situation. Had the genders of the perpetraitor and the victim been switched, we would have seen a completely different outcome. For one, women get lighter sentences than men in general. Even more important is the fact that due to extremely flawed…

Her sentence is lighter than a feather because of three reasons. The first reason is her being a woman. Women in general get lighter sentences than men do for the same crimes. The second reason is once again, her being a woman, because according to extremely flawed views women can’t *really* rape. The third reason is…

Oh, that pesky etrogen radiation! :D

I think your method is just perfect :D

This is one of the things that I will never understand. As a gay man, I would never excuse another gay man’s internalized homophobia. As a man, I would never excuse another man for internalizing the toxic masculinity pushed on him since birth. I understand that when you’re a child, you don’t know any better, and I…

I am not picking a fight, I am just stating facts. Christianity was, is and will be homophobic. That’s never going to change. The sooner progressive christians wisen up to how damaging their religion is and the sooner they drop it like a hot potato, the sooner LGBT discrimination will end. As I said before, I live in…

The Bible is more than just the New Testament, and unless you can find a part where Jesus says that homosexuality is okay, don’t pretend that the Bible is not homophobic...

I understand what you’re saying, but again, just because men in power decided that the draft only affects men does not mean that men who want to have no part in the army should just suck it up and stop whining. It is law drenched in inequality regardless of who passed it. If it was up to me, there would be no draft,…

If you think that the biggest issue LGBT people in the US face is finding someone who will bake a cake for them, you must ignorant beyond belief. Oh, and let’s not even mention that whole wide world outside the US...

You do know that there is a world outside the US, right? A world where marriage equality is centuries away from ever happening?

Well, the Bible is pretty clear about homosexuality being a sin, and considering that Jesus said nothing to rectify the condemnation of homosexuality, I think it’s safe to assume he would not have very open views either. Progressive christians can cherry-pick all they want, but no matter what their specific flavor of…

Women not being allowed in the army is sexism. Only men being drafted is also sexism. It does not have to be one or the other. Both are wrong, both need to be fixed. Your logic of “men made the draft” is so flawed. Men are not a monolith - you cannot blame all men for the actions of some. And if you think that women…

Perhaps these women really want to join NASCAR?

That said, I am pretty sure that the women screaming with glee for Vagisil are the same women that would settle for and enable Steve Harvey’s knuckle-dragging troglodyte audience.

If he’s a religious leader and that’s the most embarassing thing he’s done, you should consider yourself lucky.

The hypocrisy of this article stinks to high heaven almost as much as the word itself reeks of homophobia. It’s a notch beneath faggot in meaning, and here we have a (presumably) straight woman defending its use...
