We can't fucking win, can we? So a woman who is conventionally attractive, conventionally sexy can't at all exercise her own sexual agency because her agency has been instilled by the patriarchy?

The one thing about criticism is that for it to be constructive, it can't be dismissive. Calling Beyonce a "terrorist" doesn't invite others to a discussion, it tells them that they do not want anything to do with the person throwing about that label (its a really strong label, I think we can agree).

Since you're such an authority on what is a feminist, what have you done for women?

Believe it or not, people with Krav Maga or martial arts training still get raped. It's also worth noting that women injure their attackers while attempting to fight off an assault, it's not terribly unusual for them to be charged with assault. "Just violently attack anyone who tries to rape you" is really not a valid…

No, they explicitly described the finding and the venue in which it came about. And seriously, it's no longer an "accusation." I get that you don't have a lot of respect for the tribunals (I have my issues with them as well), but students agree to be bound by them when they go to the school, and that's what…

There was a hearing, and he was found culpable. Allegedly is not reserved for the conclusion of criminal trials. The act that was alleged was adjudicated by the college tribunal. It's no longer alleged, it's been decided.

I think the problem with that logic is that there is literally always something the victim could have done to not get raped. Example: I wasn't drunk when I was raped, but I was at a concert. If I hadn't gone to that concert, I wouldn't have been raped (that night). We can't know which night is the night we get raped,…

I believe you when you say you're not trolling, but like 90% of the godawful things enumerated in this article - the mishandling of the case, the accusations being slung at her - had absolutely nothing to do with alcohol.

Yes they can. The reasons I have seen for choosing school over police are

"One former sorority sister, whom Rizzo had known for only two months, wrote that Rizzo's "sexuality towards men" did not change after her attack and that she "continued to pursue men in the same way she did before the incident had occurred." In general, Rizzo did not "act any different in general and appeared to do…

The Nigerian government reached out to the United States for help with the search. I think we should get involved if for no other reason than the kidnappings are a terrible violation of human rights. I know many people believe the USA is incapable of acting on anything other than its own interests— I really hope…

Because we all know that the police are always right and never use unnecessary force to eliminate "threats", and that police NEVER sexually assault citizens and get away with it.

Yeah bro, like if I borrow someone's car without their permission, and I was gonna give it back when I was done with it, then that's not stealing because there was no intent because I said so and I won't be charged with a crime. Checkmate, feminists.

Really? I think we were all still really bummed out that Black Widow was the only female character in Avengers.

They're mostly 17-20 year old white boys who live in their mom's basement. They can find neither jobs nor girlfriends because they have such terrible personalities. They come to the internet to unleash the full force of their under-developed reasoning and prejudices.

Wow, you are willing to do the right, human thing. You get a cookie and a gold star.

I feel legitimately sorry for you because you are just completely missing the point and so so wrong about history. Harp on the specific topic and grade level all you want - the entire point here is that women are erased from history courses and swept under the rug simply because people like you decided that would be…

Mmm no. Women's participation in history should be a focus from the beginning, not a special note in a college course - you're saying women's roles should be footnotes or taught in special courses, aka that they don't seem to exist in history except as honorable mentions. That's just completely incorrect. The whole…

So... if you have limited time, it's more important to "take off" the accomplishments and contributions of women, then, instead of attempting to give equal time to both sexes?

Because World War II was an event that touched every living person on the planet in some way (hence the title "world") and women make up roughly half of the world's population, you could absolutely create curriculum that was half about what women were doing that time.
