It was less than a lifetime ago that Alan Turing was chemically castrated for being gay. The punishment was cruel and unusual then (not to mention the fact that he was being punished for something positive, rather than something bad like being a pedophile), and it’s cruel and unusual now.

So the male rapists still get parental rights though, yes?

Finally, someone brings up LeBron. Thank you for all that you do. 

This has become too easy of an out for Warriors fans. If they win without KD and Klay, the level of boastful pride is going to burn this country to the ground.  If they lose, they have an automatic out and will apply an asterisk to this championship.  We all lose. 

“This” is a weird spelling of Ivanka.

her work has been written about extensively, everywhere from Cosmopolitan to GQ.

I did EXACTLY the same thing in college for a photography assignment on sex, 1997. It was lazy on my part and got graded accordingly. This has been done endlessly and is very unoriginal on everyone’s part.

I’ve seen A LOT of fruit-sex analogy in art, dating back well before this artist’s oeuvre. Many of them were art students or otherwise fairly unacknowledged local artists, etc, indicating to me that the idea itself definitely isn’t unique enough to any one artist to claim this as appropriative.

to be fair, hasn’t this visual trope been done something around 100-million times over the years? I swear that the insta artist isn’t the originator....maybe she is though!

This is what makes people in positions of power and influence like Linda so dangerous. The fact they sincerely believe they are so in the right of the case despite their actions saying otherwise, or their sheer antipathy to the destruction caused allows them to live a depersonalized lifestyle, a life of lies. 

If she doesn’t like how the movie depicted her, she’s gonna hate history books.

She should go to prison.

if she admitted she did wrong and pointed to all the good she has done. I think she should have stayed. But I get the feeling she believes she didn’t do anything wrong.

I cannot believe you used this as a defense of her possible actions. Men have been using “I wouldn’t rape someone who looks like her” and “I’m too good looking to rape someone” as excuses for years. Looks of the alleged perpetrator and the victim don’t really matter when you’re a predator. It’s about controlling and…

Men have used the "it's not true because she's not hot enough for me" defense for years. We can't all of a sudden turn around and use it against others. 

This fits the school administration:

First thing I thought was SUMMER VACATION when the building is vacant of students.

The punishment was asinine. What is “implied” by “loss of students” is that seniors are graduating. Are school administrators literally not allowed to use their brains? Sure, investigate it, but when the result of said investigation (which at most should have amounted to him coming into the principal’s office) is…

Yeah, cause we all know the place a school shooter is gonna make his threats are in a poorly-worded and clearly joke craigslist ad. The police (shockingly) made the right call here - this is nothing. The only reason “loss of students coming up” jumped out at me was because of how poorly worded it was.

This is one of those cases where no one actually believes it’s a threat, but everyone involved mumbles something along the lines of “better safe than sorry”, and claims it can be construed as a threat. Then they make a big deal about how they “had no choice” but to pretend this thing they knew wasn’t a threat was a…
