He dated one of them for TWO YEARS. They started having sex without condoms after a year. How the fuck could you do that to someone?

FFS. Considering that some of the people this man was sleeping with were MEN, yes, I think we're all aware that queerness exists. The presence of a penis does not equal the absence of queerness. I get and respect the mission you're on, because language matters, but in a conversation about HIV transmission, lesbian sex…

do we REALLY need to add asterisks and clauses to things that should be painfully obvious when taken in context? Also: there are female condoms. Lesbians (I am one of these FYI) also use male condoms, cutting them for use as dental dams. Stop being so nitpicky and smug, please.

"He groomed his victims by gaining their trust." Sounds like these weren't just one and done quick hook-ups. I could see if you're a month or two into dating someone, you might trust them enough to believe them when they say they're clean.

I cannot agree with the statement that they should not be obligated to disclose. How can you put the onus onto someone who doesn't have all the facts disclosed to them? I agree that you should always use condoms for casual sex, but condoms are not perfect and if someone does not wish to take the risk of sleeping with…

Actually, in the statement released by one of those he infected (in this article), she clearly states that "He groomed his victims by gaining their trust. He lied by telling all of us that he was HIV negative." Is that enough?

Since when does being famous mean you give up freedom of speech?

Sure, taking a rape victim at her word makes me a man-hating bitch, but only if you're an MRA troll.

Idiot makes idiotic comment, gets owned for it, tries to convince us he was just trolling, fails.

She never consented. The situation you described is still rape. Also, "we" are not labeling it as rape; the girl said it was rape, the referenced article said it was rape, and then this Jez article said it was rape. My instinct is not to immediately doubt someone who says she's raped.

Not wanting to be having sex in public, and not wanting to be photographed having sex, but having sex in public with people standing around watching and taking pictures, sure sounds non-consensual to me, but way to blame a teenage rape victim for her own rape.

"the Asians in this thread doth protest too much"

Oh, GTFO. Again, your arrogance in pretending to speak for all of us is showing. You know perfectly well that everyone on here is just "protesting too much" (translated: not letting your BS fly. You mad?) because of the ridiculous claims you're making that you know why…

I need your comment to be upvoted more, because you are saying everything the article is. East Asian get procedures to look the way they personally want to, which is often influenced by what is popular in their society. It has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to appear Caucasian. Are there coincidences? Yes, but…

Are these women creating or actively perpetuating the harmful social requirements for skin color and employability, or are they just trying to find their way in the system that was already in place? Because if it's the latter, then you would do better to aim your (completely justifiable) rage towards the power…

You're not getting my point. At all.

I don't understand why you think it is a compelling point to tell East Asians, "Well, to us, your slanty eyes are what make you Asian, so it's just weird to us if you go changing that." Or, "When we mimic you, we squint our eyes, that's our shorthand for who you are." Why do you think any East Asian would care about…

Because there is an immeasurable amount of difference between raping someone, and having plastic surgery on your own body. The person "buying into" this should take responsibility for what exactly? Wanting different shaped eyes or nose?

Obligatory:

As much as I hate to defend Dawkings, he was molested as a child and that seems to be what kicked his twitter rant off.

Nope. Never been there. Not even there adjacent.
