Although it sounds like the result of some freaked-out parent being annoying, these sunburns are legitimately terrible.

ok but i do want some Procecco now

For increased suffering?

And not to mention have gastric juice spoil the meat you killed it for? What cracks me up is these people who are all “oh no, accurate hunting guns are cheating!” Like, where do you get your meat, bitch? Wrapped in cellophane at the grocery store? Thought so.

Rifle with scope =/= sniper rifle.

Between yoga workouts, a privileged white woman wipes off her cucumber facial scrub, sets down her glass of Prosecco, and widens her eyes at her latest brilliant epiphany.

There is a huge difference between killing a lion so you can have it’s head on your mantle and killing a deer to eat the meat.

How not to have a productive discussion...

Or... take it back to the real problem, which is that female sexuality is contradictorily both so stigmatized and enshrined by our society that women are either shamed for it or seen as infallible, depending on which side of the line of the virgin/whore dichotomy they are perceived to be on.

To me, it’s a bit funny to note, though, that the allegation used as the cornerstone example of the essay is a fictional one. Phaedra’s false rape accusation quite literally is a myth. It’s frankly bizarre to me that there are actually people who point to it as some kind of proof of a history of women as liars.

I have no problem with our judicial system setting a high bar for conviction, even in cases of rape/sexual assault. What I have issue with is that so few reports are even taken seriously…

you’re right and i think this author (a feminist) and her editor (me, also a feminblahablawef) would agree with you—within the first section of this piece she specifically says that false allegations are so serious that we need to “discuss false allegation narratives more, not less”

If we’re looking at aggregate “good vs bad”, then yeah. The number of rape allegations taken seriously (finally) is a good thing when taken against what I assume are false accusations of rape.

first of all, i agree with everything you said

Eagerly awaiting all the people with poor reading comprehension who will see that Jezebel posted an essay on false allegations and immediately assume we are arguing that they are unimportant/nonexistent (despite this entire essay being written to say the opposite)—but I mainly came down here to say that I thoroughly…

They played at Baltimore on Sunday, then left the next morning for the week in London leading up to that game. Luckily, we can still snark on the infographic for not being three flights to London (Spain).

"I have ever confidence they can absorb the legitimate healthcare needs of women for purposes we all agree on.”
