I am so excited about this. I wish Anjelica Huston was back in the mix but I am still so excited.

Yes it's adorable but you know it's totally like: 'Die finger! Die die! I kill you finger! I kill you hand! And finger! And I give you more die... Oh box? What's inside box...? Oh darkness... And... Finger! You have returned to die! Die! Die!!!!!'

this entire story was in the kansas city star on sunday, it was on the front page, i was really surprised that such a story in this, our "rape culture" would be front page news. it makes me proud to be a third wave feminist, we are actually getting things done, if this happened 10 years ago, even 5... i suspect that…

I'm so, so sorry that happened to you. <3 There is always help for you if and when you need it.

As disturbing as this high school predatory rape trend is, it's empowering to see girls stand up and not be afraid to identify themselves. I know the anonymity standard is meant to protect rape victims from ridicule, but it also makes the crime faceless. If people can not see that a real flesh and blood person has…

I find it very telling that the perps (let's call these boys what they are- perpetrators) were sooooo concerned about Daisy's older brothers finding out what they were up to. It shows that they knew what they had done was wrong. They were aware that they had committed a crime and were worried about being found out. …

Back in the 80s, in my youth, girls were often sexually assaulted, especially at parties. The notion of holding boys accountable simply didn't exist, at least where I grew up. This is a horrifying crime but I'm heartened by the outpouring of outrage and concern that perhaps we're moving in the right direction.

What chaps my ass is people reacting to this by saying that those girls were foolish to trust those boys not to rape them. Emily Bazleton's article at Slate says something about girls trusting boys they had no reason to trust. No reason? No reason to assume that a friend, a crush, a member of your community isn't a…

I wanted to break this out to incite discussion.

If I am ever sexually assaulted, I have resolved to report it to the police.* I will expect them to strongly suggest that they think I'm lying, I will not expect an investigation, arrest, charges, prosecution, or conviction. I will do it as a favour to them so that they have his name and a statement of what…

When I was 13, a 19 year year old basically-man befriended me. I thought he was so cool. He had me sneak out of my house one night and proceeded to give me cups full of alcohol. He then proceeded to take advantage of me. The details of that night, 17 years later, are still blurry. But I remember the really bad stuff.…

Camille Paglia is the WORST. This story reminds me of her essay where she states that "A girl who goes upstairs alone with a brother at a fraternity party is an idiot. Feminists call this 'blaming the victim.' I call it common sense."

I just can't with this. I am so frustrated by this, so hurt for these girls, and so incredibly sad that such repulsive behavior is so common place. I am a lawyer, I shouldn't promote vigilante behavior, but there are certain visceral responses I have to acts like this...I don't know if I'd have the strength as a…

I am really shocked the police interrogated her and her friend (not the boys), and tried to get them to accuse each other of lying to undermine each other's stories. I know rape victims aren't believed, but I didn't realize cops would go so far as to try to discredit and destroy the victims.

Indeed, the title of this article needs to change. The word "alleged" is modifying the wrong noun. She's not an alleged victim. Victims are victims. You might, perhaps, have an alleged perpetrator of a crime, if he had not confessed/been convicted/what have you. But in this instance, and especially on a feminist…

I do love how trolls immediately go for the underage drinking & sneaking out. "They should have known better." "They put themselves in that situation."

I want to hug these two girls really really tight. Reading this breaks my heart. My first time wasn't a drug rape or being drunk at a party but it was something I didn't want. I went out to a movie with a 20 sth guy my best friend knew one day and I trusted him because I trusted my best friend. I was 15, naive,…

I'm amazed by the bravery of these girls. Society has taught us to feel shame when these things happen to us, that we'll either be seen as the pitiful victim or the slut who was asking for it but in any case everyone will look at us differently. The more girls speak out, the easier it gets for the next girl. Kudos to…

Right now I could say to an aggressive guy in India, "you want the death penalty? Back off".

This is so sad. It's hard to understand that there are humans who are capable of this, especially young ones who wouldn't be jaded or corrupt from life. Just typical teenage high school guys. I hope they serve time or are punished in anyway possible. Anonymous is involved too thankfully.
