I think he was living in the basement apartment so not exactly in the house with the mother and kids? And maybe he wasn't charged because they hadn't yet figured out his role in the situation? But I think it's a little bit fucked up to choose that part of the story to be outraged about, and not the fact that this…

I fucking love Martha Stewart. That is all.

Ooooooh, I didn't know about the getting high part. Hahaha, ok, never mind.

His ex-wife does sound like a piece of work though. I mean, sure, it must be awful to find out on the news your husband is carrying on an affair, and get a divorce and all that, but come on, 4 years later, move the hell on and stop suing him left and right and making him jump through hoops to see his kids. Get the…

That's beyond ridiculous. I don't understand why colleges are allowed to operate like little fiefdoms. If I got raped I would want my rapist to face more than suspension or expulsion as punishment. I would want his ass in jail.

Thanks. I know. I've read it. I've been linked to it many times. But while it makes some good points, I still disagree fundamentally with the idea that colleges should be investigating and punishing RAPE, instead of police. You wouldn't let colleges handle investment fraud, murder or extortion investigations, would…

I feel for her. But at the same time rape is a hard crime to prove, and if there wasn't enough evidence to press charges and the university didn't find the guy responsible, I don't know what else she can do. You would think that if all 3 came forward if would be easier to get a conviction or at least action from from…

Exactly. This is just Jezebel taking this year's favourite Imaginary Issue to Get Offended About, and getting offended about it before it even happens.

Agreed. It's a great political statement. (the art critic in me still thinks her performance piece is pretty crappy as a work of art, but it's a very effective political statement).

But by all means yes, let's shit all over him publicly so he, his wife and daughter, and any other men (and women) who haven't reached our level of Social Justice Enlightenment yet can confirm all their shitty stereotypes about feminists being clique-ish and angry.

Exactly.

I loved Veronica Mars but Dick was possibly my least favourite character. He was fine in very small doses but an entire show about him? Nope.

I agree that race isn't and shouldn't be a parameter when declaring or seeking out your "type". I have a question though: you say that people shouldn't check those boxes. But if they don't check those boxes, but continue to either not respond or discard potential matches that aren't of the race(s) that they would…

I think preference is preference and sometimes it's influenced by historical and contemporary attitudes towards certain races and it's true that there is a lot of prejudice towards blacks and Asian men (and a lot of fetishism toward Asian women), sometimes it's just about the type of people you're into. I tend to like…

They're not saying be ashamed of your body, they're saying, be aware of how the cloud works. They said it badly, but the gist of the message is that these things can be hacked, just like your credit card info can be hacked, and telling people to take the necessary safety precautions and to be aware of the risks of…

Exactly. What I don't get is the idea that telling someone to be aware of the possible risks, is the same as victim blaming.

Lots of things are hard to hear but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be said. When my brother was depressed, he didn't want to talk about it either and would get incredibly angry and defensive about it but that doesn't mean that we should have just left him alone and pretended everything was fine. How things are…

Absolutely. But that's not fat shaming, that's educating. Fat shaming and discrimination are one thing. Pointing out that obesity and inactivity and eating unhealthy foods is bad for you, and doing so in a respectful manner while giving thoughtful advice on measures people might take to live healthier lives, is not…

Yeah, of course. Just do it knowing that, like everything else in life really, there are no guarantees that someone with bad intentions won't use that to hurt you. That's all I'm saying.

No, of course not their fault. However, every time I use my credit card or do online banking, I acknowledge there's a risk that my card could be cloned and/or my information stolen. I acknowledge the risk, and I have insurance specifically for that, and in fact I've had my card cloned twice and both times my bank has…
