I know I'm supposed to think they're cute but mostly I am severely disturbed.

This is the ugliest print imaginable for a prom dress.

Yes. They cover up the rapes not because they want to keep the rapists in school, but because applications and donations would drop along with prestige should the public find out that these crimes are committed. It's disgusting institutional rot.

Finding "the right authorities" is the problem. Schools want to pretend it never happens and local PDs want the schools to handle it. It happens way too often, and, at least in my case, I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong by reporting it, and they made it as difficult as possible to get anything done,…

Sorry, but I don't think the proper response to the problem of sexual violence against women is to retreat to cloistered women-only campuses. The issue needs to be confronted and changed so women can actively and safely engage with their community, not just sequester themselves in artificial "safe spaces."

Yeah, but they also have a large number of kids who believe they are above the rules because they are so smart and successful.

YAY WOMEN'S COLLEGES!!! But attending a women's college doesn't mean you won't be sexually assaulted while in school. Many women's colleges have "brother schools" in close proximity (Barnard has Columbia, Spelman has Morehouse, Saint Mary's has Notre Dame). Unfortunately, I know of girls from my women's college who…

Finally! I have been a college professor for many years and have witnessed many young women traumatized by the way my school, not on list thank goodness, handled rape cases. Once 20 years ago I confronted the dean of students (a man) about why women aren't told to go to the police because I was so startled about the…

Definitely agree with you in as much as these marriages were involuntary- though the difference between having been a "wife" and a "sex slave" may allow them to return home to their families if they are rescued. Unfortunately, kidnapped girls from traditional/religious families who are raped outside of marriage often…

Why are these girls being referred to as sold off as "wives" instead of sold off as "sex slaves"?

Please note that the Nigerian President is doing pretty much dick all about this and gave out gold plated iPhones right after the kidnapping at his daughter's wedding.

I find it endearing that Dodai's limit is Duck Dynasty. I mean, 6 Degrees of Lindsay's Love Life can be discussed but DD cannot.

People are pointing out on the Gawker thread that it looks like Courtney's handwriting and he may have been carrying around something she wrote as a joke because he thought it was funny. Either way, I wish Seattle PD would just let this die. The more they release under the guise of "clearing Courtney's name" against…

Seems like the right kind of post to share this embarrassing photo of the Von FluffyPants siblings. The Archduke and the Duchess were just relaxing, damn it!

The star of the upcoming film "Gangy 5"

"in the same way I'm fascinated by the people I see on the street or the subway" —-> SHAAAAAADE

Why is anyone still using tampons when moon/diva cups are so much more environmentally friendly and convenient?

I find the whole "Find your bliss" and "do what you love" mantras annoyingly idealistic and elitist.

You know why "work" is called "work"?
