Yeah, they both look like they’re in terrible shape but apparently she was the worst off of the two of them from what I read.

From what I read, they took the woman to a hospital immediately because of her condition in particular (immediately after the taking of this photo anyway).
Oh yeah, I have definitely experienced that a lot. Sometimes I am really obnoxious and don’t even attempt to conceal my attitude when men do things like this. I’ve had it. I do recall back in college having our group recorded to see who spoke the most and I, the only woman, spoke the least. It made me so angry at…
The problem is not all women will recognize this as a problem. I agree that in general, we need to come up with ways to stop consistently rewarding the most aggressive and loud people in the workplace. In my workplace, sometimes the person leading the meeting will just pick on a quieter person to say something because…
Yeah, unfortunately the root cause — men not listening to the first woman who said this and giving her credit because they don’t see women’s voices as legitimate as their own, whether through unconscious bias or not — is still there. I think this is great but what works best is a leader saying “This is going on and…
Hell yes on this. I went on a date with a man who argued with the waitress about settling the check at the bar before eating at the restaurant and thought “Man, this guy is being a dick for no reason.” The mood was executed pretty quickly as a result.
This guy seems to have a lot of self-pity. His expression here is that of someone who believes he has been oppressed by the media coverage that he raped a woman. He seems like he’s on the brink, but I don’t feel sorry for him in the least. I do agree with the assessment that this needs to happen more often and we need…
I agree that it should be used sparingly, in situations where it’s very clear this man is condescending to this woman because I definitely don’t think every man who is explaining something to me is being a dick and sometimes you get enthusiastic talking about a subject and it doesn’t occur to you that someone else…
Yeah, I’m in the camp of “This is very very bad and scary.” It amazes me that people are still saying “He’s just a clown.” He’s a clown but that doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous.
I nearly fainted while standing for hours in the heat under direct sun when I was 20 years old. So I don’t see why it’s all unreasonable for her to leave when she is beginning to feel overwhelmed by the heat. Americans in general are way too determined to call people delicate for not being able to deal with extreme…
I have no idea what this woman’s sexuality is, so maybe someone can fill me in, but her outfit looks like the outfit of an out and proud queer woman (of course queer women wear a variety of things and plenty of straight women wear this sort of outfit now but this outfit definitely signals stuff to me as a queer woman)…
Would it have been polite to say something to her? Probably. But to call him out by name was totally unnecessary on her part to make the point she was making about feeling isolated and disregarded. As far as Michael B. Jordan goes, it was probably the fact that she expected both the attention of Odell and Michael and…
Even if that is an accurate assessment of the situation, even if that is what he was thinking and Lena could read his mind, it would not be OK for various reasons. Yeah, so he doesn’t want to make polite conversation with a stranger he isn’t attracted to? And so? He has every right to approach things that way and it’s…
And I will likely never experience police violence. It could happen but it’s not likely. However, I don’t need to think about my biracial cousin experiencing it to be able to empathize and feel something when I see it happen to strangers. Many of us will never directly know someone who has been through X experience…
Well I’m not comfortable for waiting god knows how long for the police to get their shit together on this. People should be able to go to college and know that if something that traumatic happens, they won’t be in the class with the perpetrator, and in this case, assuming he were innocent, it would be distracting to…
I was willing to engage with you in a nuanced dialogue about this until I saw this...what?!
The point everyone is making is that you should be able to see any woman on the street and say “Hey, I would never wish that on her.” Because I don’t have to like a man, and hell, I could even hate a man, and I would still hope he never experiences rape.
“Hey, maybe it’s all of the people who are actively fighting to change things for you who are failing you, huh? We over here have been doing absolutely nothing but farting pixie dust, so surely we aren’t to blame. How can you blame people you have never taken on the goal of helping you for not reaching that goal? We…
As a bisexual atheist single woman, I fully support this.
This isn’t even fair to 24 year-old women, let alone 24 year-old white women. I think her perspective is closer to 16 year-old white woman but that’s just my take.
