The recidivism statistics are based on arrests and convictions. Many rapes and sexual abuse situations go unreported. I think it’s reasonable to assume that at least some of the sex offenders are repeat offenders who just never get caught. And there’s a world of difference between a one-time college date rapist and a…

Exactly. Especially if the abuse occurred within the family unit, in those situations you always have someone who will stick up and lie for the pedophile in question.

You’re not wrong. But I did say that the ratings system needed revision. It absolutely makes no sense that an 18 yr old that had a 16 yr old girlfriend should ever be in the same category as a convicted pedophile or violent rapist. And I agree, the laws shouldn’t be so insane that we’re looking at serious offenders…

Kids don’t generally get snatched from playgrounds. One of my biggest problems with SORNA is that parents think they know who’s a child molester or child rapist. They don’t. They should be more concerned about weird Uncle Terry or their kids’ soccer coach who pays a little too much attention than the guy with his…

WOMP. I actually put in a bid on a house across from an elementary school and one of the things I liked about it was that no known sex offenders could be living too close by.

I read here often that many campus (in particular) rapists are serial rapists. Here it says sex offenders are only imaginary repeat offenders. There’s obviously a horrifying kaleidoscope of sex offenders and offenses, but I guess my point is that this ambiguity begs for some in-depth reporting so we can give y’all…

there’s a lot of weird situations in the sex offender book. There was a time when a college kid getting busted taking a piss next to a building could be a sex offender as well if convicted, so definitely some reform is needed to it. But for rapists and child molesters? There will be no sympathy from me ever in those…

I think that the ratings system for sex offenders needs revision. Then the rules can be more lenient for lower level offenders. But I’m sorry, there is NO way I want a convicted child molester anywhere near a school or playground, for any reason.

So basic ... of course with all these men becoming sex offenderes these days... they must be so worried about how they feel..m who cares about the women and children around them... these people are already hiding from cops they dont know where tgey live what they are doing.. how do they know what the rapists are…

Bullshit naivete.

Before Americans get too self congratulatory about Muslim assimilation into society, we should be aware of the types of Muslims who have come to the U.S. and Canada, as compared to those in Europe. The U.S. and Canada have generally benefitted from a “brain drain” from Muslim countries. Through most of the 20th…

Do you think that Mulim Hijabis don’t do any of those things to please their husbands, when they are uncovered at home?

Multiculturalism does not work. It ghettoizes entire ethnicities. Yes we are a melting pot. To truly be American you shed some parts of your culture and keep others. If whatever culture you left was 100% desirable, you would still be there. Each new group takes on some American characteristics and keeps some of their…

That’s kinda bullshit since American women aren’t punished by the state and the church for non-compliance. So fuck your Muslim apologist bullshit.

The part of the Ibtihaj Muhammad story that bothered me pretty much every time they talked about it was how everyone was celebrating the fact that the reason she started fencing was because it was the only sport she could do while covered.

Because obesity is an issue in the USA, Saudi shouldn’t be criticized for its outright oppression of women?

We can both celebrate these individual women and pity them for being part of a retrograde, patriarchal, shitty culture.

Good for her. When thinking about France's burka ban, I don't like the idea of government telling you what you can/can't wear. However, I also don't like women being forced to wear something by their religion (and an attitude of "You don't have to, but we'll kill you if you don't" is no choice).

It saddens me when I see women covered up because they have been brainwashed into some false sense of modesty because of an ancient patriarchal religious fairy tale.

Wait, was that even a joke? I’m questioning myself...Whatever. I’m excited to watch this. I also kind of wish someone would make a show with just slow motion beautiful shots of cheese being sliced into. I would watch that for hours.
