That fucking sucks and I'm really sorry it happened to you.

I went on a super fancy date with a guy under similar circumstances in San Francisco, except I drank the wine. I asked, somewhere between course eight and nine, what time the last train ran. He said 1 a.m. It was midnight.

Standing outside the very-much-closed train station, he said, “A taxi will cost you at least $50…

she refused to drink, several times, even at his prompting

they should’ve just let that good deed exist in the moment rather than crow about it on social media.

I agree that trans folks are the ones that have been and continue to be harassed. My premise of “a problem that didn’t exist” is the right wing nutbag talking point that all trans people are sexual predators waiting to abuse a person in the public restroom.

Maybe what’s hitting you wrong is that this is a bunch of women talking their own selves up for having something awesome, and we live in a sick culture that says women who do cool shit should STFU and be all modest and humble, and let other people praise them if they happen to be so inclined.

Date raped after a work party - BY A COWORKER - AT HIS HOME - of course he waited until everyone left and explained my sudden unconsciousness with “she must have had too much to drink.” I’d had ONE drink he made for me. I got teased about being a lightweight by coworkers who I couldn’t tell the truth because I was…

This is what happens when legislatures fix problems that never existed- it creates actual violent problems.

To be fair, he’s almost certainly someone with no experience being interviewed for tv who found himself on the spot after an emotional and confusing event and just kind of cobbled together some words. Turns out most of us suck shit at producing sound bites unless we practice. He also said, “it shouldn’t matter what…

These women do deserve pats on the back. But if you don’t like that, consider it a way to warn women that someone they think is a friend might not be a friend and that women should protect each other, even strangers.

Likely means there just wasn’t anyone close by. The restaurant probably said they could stall him, and he wasn’t being violent so the cops aren’t going to hit their lights and rush over. If you don’t tell the dispatcher or whoever that it’s an emergency and you need someone right now because x, then they aren’t going…

They raised awareness. They also deserve a pat on the back. Don't be stingy with your pats. Their actions likely prevented a rape and the perpetrator was caught. Fuck it. Give them all the pats. I wish someone did that when it happened to me.

I think it’s incredibly important for people to talk about this stuff. We talk a lot about ending rape culture, and one of the ways that we can protect people is to be more aware of potential danger around us, and stepping in when we see it. These women did an amazing thing, and we SHOULD be talking about it. This…

I have two daughters and I love this so much! I’m always watching out for other people’s daughters. Don’t get me wrong, if I see someone’s boy getting in trouble I step in too (I’m that person). As a woman who has had too many close calls, I feel like it's my obligation!

Sharing the story means getting knowledge out there.

I’m having trouble putting my thoughts into words on this, but last night after I read this story I had a really great conversation regarding male/female friendships and how in so many instances their is still such an inequality in the power balance.

I think it’s fine they shared it on social media. They didn’t include info about the woman herself, or identifying info on the dude even. A lot of us wonder if we should say something or intervene or just let things go when we see them. It’s good be reminded that a) even your best friend might do this, b) it’s worth…

It depends on the drug. Some at lower doses amp up pacivity, not an immediate knockout. That’s part of the danger of these drugs and the under reporting of their usage. It’s how the victim will walk out of the bar with someone they don’t know. Some victims recall “coming to” while engaged in a sex act they didn’t…

Fuck “charged.”

I think perhaps the most depressing thing about this is how many comparatively random women present had their own stories. This is part of why I think the number of women who have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime is much higher than more conservative estimates like to place that figure. Men seem…
