A small percentage of rape reports are false; most studies put it around 3-8%. Most rapists also lie about whether or not they raped someone. So there’s (generously) a 92% chance that the victim is telling the truth and this guy is a rapist. I feel those are good odds.

That would be because most of us have already read a number of articles about this situition over the last couple of years and we aren’t just coming in ignorant.
Colleges aren’t the ones who are choosing not to involve the police, it’s the victims, largely because they don’t trust the police to handle it.
What does that make the High Sparrow, then?
Cast someone who looks right, then cast someone else to sing. All movie musicals lip-sync, and the vast majority of singers in Disney cartoons are not the voice actors anyway.
Lol, it doesn’t have a brain; it’s not suffering, but it is probably posting comments on kinja.
On what possible metric are Asian people oppressed? Asian people have higher average incomes, higher levels of education, lower rates of incarceration, better access to healthcare, and fewer instances of police violence then WHITE PEOPLE. Asian people literally outperform WHITE PEOPLE on ALL the metrics.
Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…
THANK YOU. As a biracial woman, I am tired of people saying my parents love was invalid. That it was just serving colonialism or serving to oppress black women. If women of color really do not hold men to be the locus of their lives, then do Kumaili and Aziz really need to represent brown women on screen for them? Let…
Since you’re not asian, you can’t be expected to understand what it’s like to be within a stone’s throw of acceptance but always kept at arm’s length fulfilling the role of yes men. Don’t try to understand it, you can’t, you’re not asian and don’t have the lived experience.
What pisses me off most about President Dipshit inserting himself in this story is that per his proposed healthcare reform, the children suffering like that here at home would be left to die while their parents are saddled with a copious amount of medical debt.
I just read this on the NYT site, and jumped over here. Are you effing kidding me? This is the president of the United States? Just when I think nothing could shock anymore, the vulgarity, the crassness, and violence reach new and more degraded lows. I’m so embarrassed for all of us.
This is the “leader of the free world” and the head of the world’s strongest Armed Forces sharing a gif about beating the shit out of someone because he doesn’t like the nasty words they say about him.
Japanese companies just need to get better at localizing things. Entertainment is a global business now and they are acting like it’s the 70s and there isn’t money to be made overseas. Hollywood is speedy with localization and most western game developers are too, so why does it take Japan so long to localize…
Why are people so suspicious of mainstream, accepted medical advice and care but so willing to plunge, unexamined, into unproven homeopathic treatments?
If your organization is working this hard to stop a union from organizing, it’s a pretty good clue that you need a union.
Lawsuit sounds like a money grab. Report I saw was Venus got stuck in an intersection and then the light turned red, Barson proceeded to blow through the intersection and T-bone her.
Australia knew he was guilty the second he fled to Rome. Too sick to fly home my butt, he was healthy enough to scarper when people first started talking.
