I was raped by my best friend's husband/next door neighbor. Imagine the complications of that. The defense considered me very bad and naughty, I made that married man stray and then tried to ruin his family. Actually, I missed all the warning signs that he was probably about to get dangerous because I just assumed he…

I've given it a lot of thought, and I think it comes down to this "wild bear" mentality. The flawed assumption is that men are wild animals who cannot be held responsible for their behavior. In this worldview, all women are Timothy Treadwell and all men are the grizzlies that ate him. It's not the bears' fault,…

My sympathies to you, first of all.

Nobody was saying "what about teh menz." except you.

The False Equivalency point is what matters.

Men and Women should never rape anyone. Yes statistically more women are raped than men, that doesn't invalidate or lessen either female or male victims to recognize that a victim of sexual assault is a victim of sexual…

I wasn't aware we lived in a world where the prevailing sentiment was: if you can't protect yourself from physical attack, you deserved what you got. I mean, is this the 12th Century or something?

I'd love to hear how she'd explain a non-drunk teenager getting raped in her own room in the middle of the day. Hi. Yeah, that was me.

Females* don't choose to get raped. In a rape situation, the person making a choice is the person doing the rape, and they bear the responsibility.

This is a woman who admitted fucks on first dates and apparently thinks it's not "immoral" because it usually results in marriage proposals (or actual marriages). She's been married three times and engaged six. I'm not joking. She is the definition of batshit crazy. She did interviews a few years back where she talked…

Are women strong enough to take care of themselves, or are they not strong enough to take care of themselves?

Let's be clear, the minute a "boy" rapes someone, I immediately consider him guilty of the crime of rape. If he has a problem with that, I suggest he rethink his practice of sexually assaulting unconscious women.

Hey Dionne!

Saying that woman who likes to go out and have sex (which is what I assume she means when she says "be naughty") in any way deserve to be raped is as stupid as saying that anyone who likes to go shopping and spend a lot of money deserves to be robbed.

Either her contract is up soon or her contract is bulletproof.

FYI a big part of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's work at the ACLU was bringing sex discrimination suits on behalf of men because it would ultimately be good for women.

This is not a "male tears" kind of case. This is a case that is GOOD for women because it forces into the light the hiring of conventionally attractive women as window dressing to draw in customers. From breastaurants to apparently this chain of Ruby Tuesdays, I wish more (men/unconventionally attractive women/other…

No, you've got it all wrong. A lawsuit like this is GOOD for feminism. I'm sure this chain is guilty of what they have been accused of, as with other (Hooters, breastaurants of various sorts of variety). The more we limit women as being seen as attractive ornaments to draw in customers the better for ALL of us.

And the funny thing is, he's a weirdly feminist misogynist, if you'll forgive the oxymoron. I'm thinking of the scene where he puts on his grief counselor hat and tells one of his own near-victims that "Nothing you did or could ever do made this happen to you. It's all on the person who attacked you."

True, but the show does several important things:

It does but not in a glamorized way, at least to me. Its very unsettling in a way that makes you realize, hey, this does happen. It should make you uncomfortable. Also, (and this is brought up in the show) he is driven by sexual desire but he never rapes his victims. Its very multifaceted and richly complex. It's done…

This show is brilliant, and really made me look at American television women in such a new and terrible light. I had seen an episode of "The mysteries of Laura" and i know that I am comparing apples and oranges but was really struck by the childishness and immaturity of women in their 40's often seen in American TV…
