He wasn't diagnosed until after he was charged. He had tried to assault his ex-girlfriend in his sleep before on one occasion and it says he acted confused when told of what had happened but not that he went to the doctor and got a diagnosis, and the ex-girlfriend said it only happened once. So unless I'm missing some…

If this is a real condition, then what's the problem with the verdict?

No, a joke is not necessarily funny. And that's what this shit is - an unfunny, stupid and offensive joke. But I also don't think they deserve a criminal record or expulsion from school or to be withheld from graduating over this.

What else would you call it? Should we arrest them for rape? Send them to prison? Charge them with a hate crime?

I was replying to your post that said:

how are doctors even agreeing to give women mastectomies if they don't have the breast cancer gene? How is the NHS even paying for it if it's not considered a necessary procedure?

I think you might be confusing two different things.

Is Jezebel going to write an article about every group of dumb high school kids who makes a stupid joke?

Yeah it really shouldn't be considered cheating. And Affleck makes a great point: "I mean, the fact that being good at the game is against the rules at the casinos should tell you something about casinos."

I love it. The comments section here is like a pissing contest to see who can be the most offended, even when (or maybe especially?) when there's nothing to be offended about.

Why? If they'd partnered with, say, the Guardian, you'll only reach educated middle class and upper middle class women, whereas the Sun is tabloidy and has a much more popular readership. At that level, none of the papers with a large readership are progressive and feminist, so you work with what you've got. I don't…

To be fair, they do say that the only reason they're looking for a man is the heavy lifting part, yet you go on to state the other requirements he gives as if those were part of the reasons he gave for wanting to hire a man.

Oh dear, bit sensitive are we? Think every comment has to be written to include those of you saddled with progeny?

Are you kidding me? That would lead to people basically not being able to take pictures in public because hey, that passerby in your shot objects to it and wants his/her privacy respected. You don't see how ridiculous that would be?

Exactly. You don't need faulty legislation that doesn't even fix the problem, and potentially penalises a lot of other people, to deter assholes taking upskirt photos in public. There has to be another way to deter them without enacting silly laws that don't solve anything.

Because that would be impossible to enforce. What would you do? Make a citizen's arrest? Tell the photographer to wait there while you call the police and have them go through someone's camera and memory card? Imagine how many false accusations what would lead to. I'm all for stopping creeps but not if it means that…

No worries. Look, I'm not saying every woman who feels this way should write an op-ed about it and sign it with her name but do I think that it's necessary that at least some women express this publicly? Yes. For the rest of the women out there struggling with this, I don't think they need to tell their children but…

I'm more offended by people who take the lazy route and buy their Halloween costumes than I am by any so-called "offensive" costumes. Stop taking people's Halloween costumes personally and just get on with your life. Or better yet, stay home and protect your delicate and sensitive eyes from people's irreverence and…
