You can look at it that way or look at it as the opposite. You can be a feminist and admit male privilege comes with responsibilities that aren't fun, like protection. You can be a feminist and admit you consider a man who can protect you to be a valuable trait. Neither has anything to do with whether women deserve…

At least animals can try to run! A poor plant just sits there trying to pull it's roots up while the reaper (literally the reaper) slowly makes its way to decapitate it.

I'm glad for you. You're so food rich that you can make speeches about where your food comes from. Congratulations on sustenance being a luxury and allowing you to limit your food choices.

She also said she didn't want to be labelled as gay, so anyone who was listening rather than kneejerking would have understood she just doesn't like labels.

It came right after the part about them always being behind.

How about we drop some #yesallmen instead? This is a stranger violence, for which the victims are overwhelmingly more likely to be male. There is often some unlikely, unavoidable reason the man gets shot, stabbed, maimed, etc. as well. Part of the "not all men" is not just that not all men are perpetrators, but that…

It really sucks as a big guy. Our hips are shaped different, so it squeezes the legs along with the butt, resulting in sleeping in the ass and legs. Plus I'm 6'4, so my knees are in my chest already. But the bad part is having to sit with my torso turned slightly to fit my shoulders into the seat instead of the person…

Actually, this article missed the point. First, they put up an apology and edited the post before this article was put up. That's shitty reporting. Second, as they mention nicely in the apology, the original article wasn't about sexual assault or women. It was general campus tips about general crimes.

They had over 8k in the study, but the results don't follow the "spend more, get divorced more" theme Today had going. The highest rate was people who said "don't know", and there were tons of discrepancies between the sexes that obviously wouldn't be there in the whole population (since both would either get divorced…

"Secondly, the writer assumes that men are always the sexual assailants..

Yes there is. It's not 23% (or 22% that Silverman uses), but there is a gap of 3-9% once the stats are weighted.

It's also pretty ridiculous for people to say he's doing it for attention when there are paparazzi filming his every move and costars talking about what he does behind the scenes. Granted, he has publicly done plenty of weird things, but it gets to the point where things we know happened, gossip, and "concerned"…

This is a reflection of your problems with yourself. If you criticize me in response, that will be too.

On the other hand, millions of kids have been helped through troubling times youth pastors. A kid is way more likely to be able to turn to a youth pastor for help in a situation like Stephen Collins than for the youth pastor to be the perpetrator. They can be especially helpful in situations where it's a family member…

The MRA types tend to think there is no rape culture because people are anti-rape. But, there is a lot of middle ground between not believing there is a rape culture and believing everything is part of rape culture.

Good. While it'll dilute the message, the co-opting of a subculture by the greater culture always gives it more widespread appeal. That's how feminists can go from having most people agree with them but not directly supporting them to making real change.

No, it's just the long title of a book. He's taking a page from Fiona Apple.

This won't get out of the greys, but it needs to be pointed out, especially a day after Jezebel had an article about not trusting the media to interpret scientific studies.

It's also the same quote that has been criticized millions of times on this site. I'm surprised he got such a positive article.

He was probably just using that as a segue.
