Unfortunately the DA has to agree to prosecute for a case to go forward and they decline in most non-stranger rapes. Shockingly enough, just because a crime has been committed against you does not mean that you have an automatic right to a trial or even more of an investigation than someone filling out a form. Going…

Although I hate trolls, I kinda think it's a good sign when they show up. Sometimes I imagine there's a troll signal that goes off, and it shines on the ceiling of their parents basement, and they all rush to the computers yelling "we must defend the (white, male, christian, capitalist, heterosexual, right wing , MRA…

I clearly don't speak for these women but as someone who received a settlement due to a traumatic experience (and of course, wasn't able to discuss it much further), it was the difference between debt and economic stability to me. It made everything that was a money problem a non money problem. Of course, it did…

You're right, what's the point of going after the school that protected their rapists? It's not like that would convince them or any other school to rethink their behavior to avoid more lawsuits/negative press. Nope. No point at all. Uh huh.

$1.3M EACH would be a shit settlement. What's UConn's endowment $700M?

I know! It's so annoying to pay when all you were doing was protecting rapist-students.

I wonder what the second (known) victim of Kylie Angell's rapist thinks about the $1.3 million. It seems to me that the university owes her a check and an admission of some wrong-doing.

Except that, for some unknown reason (to me), the USA has allowed Universities to oversee the punitive/legal process of sexual assaults/rapes that have occurred on their own campus/to their students. And as a result, the University is personally responsible for how they handle such cases.

It makes me unhappy, but I can't claim to understand their situation.

I am fucking AMAZED by the guys that do this. I can't even wrap my head around it, it's like we're a fundamentally different species. My dick and I get along great and we have pretty high opinions of one another (well, I assume the well regard is reciprocated) but it has never once in my entire life occurred to me to…

Seriously? Reverse the genders and think about what you'd like in a date. Presumably you don't want to go out with a creepy stalker, either. But would you be interested in going on a second date with a woman who showed up and who was respectful, but who you didn't enjoy spending time with or found unattractive? If…

Dunno, how about keep going on dates and treating people well until you find someone you click with? Like the rest of us.

You should have gone to the bathroom and said "I'll send you something too", then sent him a picture of a bigger dick.

"Is it me, or is Modern Woo in a state of crisis?"

I feel like the rule needs to be: don't send dick picks when they're unsolicited, period. If you wanted a dick pick two hours into the date and he wanted to oblige, I don't see a problem (and sexting is hardly the death of Modern Woo...). It's the fact that it wasn't requested that made it inappropriate, not…

I'm sure if I dig through a Bible long enough I can find some way to interpret caffeine, beef and gasoline consumption as a sin. They do it to LGBT people all the time!

Hi, My name is Joe Smith of PETA. I wish to become a butcher at your fine slaughterhouse but I refuse to perform some or all of the duties required of me. Can I still get a job and, like...sit in my car for the whole shift dicking around with iPhone games or something?

If your religion prevents you from providing healthcare as it's needed, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. Go work at a craft-store instead.

Once again, with feeling:

Even the Americans with Diabilities Act only makes "reasonable" accommodations. So, yeah, you can't be a blind bus driver, but, SURE you can be family planning nurse who doesn't believe in family planning. Swell.
