I admire you, and kind of envy you today, because you have been and will be making a difference and empowering people like the rape survivor in this story. Whereas I right now am just looking for things to throw across the room...I know the judge has resigned but it's still so awful. Kudos to you for your work.

Thank you for sharing this. The Down syndrome community has been working to get the word out, and there is a petition on change.org that people can sign here. This disgusting "judge" needs to be stopped.

The majority is rakes aren't even reported because victims legitimately fear they won't be taken seriously and that their name and sexual history will be dragged through the mud. The unspoken requirement to behave like some random judge feels they should behave is just the icing on the cake.

I'm so sorry, boo.

WTF. I think your story just broke my brain. Thanks Rebecca I have calc tomorrow.

But it's also poor people screwing over poor people. It's the weirdest Stockholm syndrome shit I have ever seen in my life.

Mostly because the author rightly was reminding us that this is likely a hoax.

Is ballpoint on a napkin legitimately all I need to get a hoax off the ground? Because I bet I could think of a rad hoax.

Haha. I follow him on twitter, but I haven't been paying much attention to my feed lately... But Steve Martin definitely seems like one of those celebrities it'd be a hoot to have lunch with.

Pfft, I hated on that before it was cool to hate on it. Anyone who hates on it now is jumping on the conformist bandwagon. So really they are just posers.

I think punkandglamour is talking about the University of North Carolina student who was brought up on disciplinary charges for 'intimidating' her rapist. And by 'intimidating' they mean going public with the fact that she was raped without even identifying the rapist. It's really a testament to how fucked up this…

I'd hit that.

Weirdly pseudo-threatening language directed at someone for correcting grammar— am I on Reddit? I am genuinely concerned that a fun, safe space has been lost.

How do you know if I am a liberal or not?

OK, but only if I get to eat this vodka-flavored Ring Pop.

This guy I've never heard of is much cuter than the Ryan guy I've vaguely heard of. But any Olympics with Daisuke Takahashi in attendance already has the Hottest Athelete slot filled.

"If a man gets a serious injury, it's still not fatal, but for women it could end much more seriously," a Russian ski jumping coach said. "Women have another purpose—to have children, to do housework, to create hearth and home."

What a great story of women finally crashing through the glass ceiling and getting to participate on the same hill as the men.

Fuck this asshole. I'm taking up figure skating.
