I have to say... I'd take any of these dad commercials (black culture co-opting and all) over the b.s. sexist ones where the dad is portrayed as incompetent, bordering on stupid. And there are tons more of those out there.... I'm a dad and I rule.

Come on Jezebel Swagger Dad #2 is Chris Wylde, do you do any research??

Well, darn. Ms. Manning can wait her turn at the VA like the rest of us.

Why should the Army (and our tax dollars) pay for Bradley Edward Manning "surgery?" It's not like he's suffering from a heart condition or any other life threatening disease.

Well, you've defined the grey area already — somewhere between the law as it is and "enthusiastic consent".

When I typed in "www.fearus.org", here's what I got:

In further news, limited studies are bullshit, and feminists have confirmation bias.

1) Fair enough. As I said before, that guy made a poor metaphor for an even poorer concept.

I get what you're saying and I appreciate the response. My apologies for the "notallmen" derailing. Back to the topic at hand.

Fair enough. That guy, Herries, is flat wrong.

While I'm a firm believer in some risk mitigation, it's frustrating how many law enforcement or campus safety officials will run to the "don't let yourself be a victim" idea. Like I've said on here before, I've had cops lob victim blaming bullshit at me when I've reported a car being broken into. It's frustrating and…

Well...no: you did say that Gil's comment was a continuation of the rape apologist narrative (because what else could the "narrative that sexual assault victims are somehow to blame for being sexually assaulted" possibly mean but that?).

If, in a situation where people are actually getting raped, your first concern (or second or third concern) is whether people will think you're a rapist and not whether people end up getting raped, you're doing humanness wrong. His feelings about how he's perceived aren't bigger than people actually being the victims…

I'm with SDZ. This sentence sounds like it is applying to Malik Gil: "This is just a continuation of the bullshit narrative that sexual assault victims are somehow to blame for being sexually assaulted."

I was going for the parallel... Locking your bike or not does not change the fact that if your bike is stolen, the person who stole it is a bike thief. Being drunk / dressing "slutty" / not taking the right "safety measures" does not change the fact that if someone has sex with you against your will, it is rape. The…

1) We know. But, yeah, that's a poor metaphor for an even poorer concept — that people should be held to account for not somehow preventing their rape.

They STILL call the Civil War a "state's rights" issue.

It's why things calmed down a bit when Holder showed up. They trust the DOJ more than anything the state could provide.

It's actually long confused me that states rights supporters seem to be largely conservative (although I haven't read any actual statistics) considering how often states rights have done great things for progressives.
