False reports of sexual assault are pretty rare in the regular world, but they aren’t particularly rare in politics—there’s such an obvious incentive to falsify claims in politics that just doesn’t really exist outside of it. Pete Buttigieg was hit with a fake rape claim last year. At least one of the allegations…

I don’t know. We seem to be bending over backwards to find reasons why we should believe Tara Reade. Mostly centered on “believe women,” a concept I support. And I know that there’s a lot about how “real victims” behave and how damaging that is—so we shouldn’t factor in her character, which is that she’s a lifelong…

That’s a lot of words to say “I am a sexist pig.”

“Garaffa’s license has been suspended for five months; Capece has been suspended for a full year.”

An armchair psychologist would say she sounds like someone who had a bad experience, blames herself for it and projects that blame on to others as a defence mechanism so that the self-blame won’t destroy her

Thank you. We are not human shields for the less stigmatised members of the community.

Dear Muggles: Please stop thinking of us as a human shield to use as a buffer for socially acceptable women against creeps and monsters. Because that is a super fucked up way to think about other people, which is what we are. 

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

they let a truck driver off for killing a woman here (saskatchewan, canada) because of this defence. he put a 18in pipe into her vagina and killed her. she bled to death. and THEN when they tried to prosecute him, the brought out her preserved VAGINA and showed everyone what he did. he got off anyway. her name was…

“You know, kids are into kinky shit these days.” This perception of generational difference, the sense of “kids these days,” becomes a blinder to the actual facts.

It’s about the deputy feeling disrespected I’d wager.

There’s a real tone in this article that Reese is somehow to blame, or responsible for what happened. I’m really tired of women getting the blame for men’s bad actions. She left Phillipe 16 years ago. Even though she has to maintain a co-parenting relationship with him-in 2017 their children were both still minors-his…

“This is saying, somebody like me has a place in this industry,”

ALSO FUCK YOU TITO stop apologizing and making excuses for this piece of shit shit fuck. HE HATES YOU

For some reason, looking at their faces and imagining them sitting on their beige or dark blue couch, talking about gay marriage with shaking heads and being like, “We gotta do something about this!” and then coming up with this idea and getting super stoked about it like it’s really going to make a difference, and…

I don’t understand why this couple actually believes that the rest of the world cares about THEIR marriage.
