I agree with catwomyn. Now that I know it's a double-edged quote, it has far more meaning to me that it would have otherwise. I like it.

Am I wrong, or is this about killer queens, because that would make this too awesome to be real.
Just nobody tell Fox News that the commemorative quote on the 9/11 memorial is about two gay terrorists ... or, if you do, give me time to heat up some popcorn first.
When I was an undergrad at Cal Tech, I worked in a restaurant.
If people serving food are so brilliant why aren't they splitting atoms or something?
You're one of those customers, aren't you?
"Vindictive and mean spirited?" To factually recall an experience they had where they don't use the names of anyone involved? It's completely harmless.
Did you not read the stories? These customers are not only stupid, many are rude and ignorant. The servers aren't calling themselves above them or super smart, just asking for some common sense and decency from their customers.
Between his tweets about Philip Seymour Hoffman and this, I feel like Jared Padalecki has basically turned into one of my elderly relatives. Get off the internet, Uncle Jared! What's next, ranting about how the girl at the supermarket cheated you by ringing up your white onions as yellow onions? Scandalous!
What's it like to feel superior to someone because she mentioned that she belongs to a religion which, like EVERY OTHER GODDAMN RELIGION, believes some questionable shit that many of its followers disagree with?
Two years ago my university began putting out grope warnings in Clery releases, which is good because that's sexual assault. We had a person running around campus groping women. It escalated from a quick grope to holding women down in parking garages trying to take off their pants in 24 hours. I found this scary as…
One of the reasons I will always love the movie Wild Things is Kevin Bacon's insistence on that peen shot. Remember? When he's in the shower? And it's totally gratuitous because there's no reason you need to see the full frontal but BAM THERE IT IS? Bacon basically said if the girls had to get their tits out somebody…
I don't discount any of the prior commentator's negative experiences at the university, but for the sake of a balanced discussion, I just want to state that I attended the university for both undergrad and law school, and I never had the impression that there was a "rape culture" at the University, that the University…
"the product of coddled men who were allowed to believe, without question, that their reasoning trumped any sense of empathy or ethics."
I went to UofC, had a friend who went through a similar experience. She had taken leave a quarter or two prior, but was still involved in campus life, and we were all seniors. Raped by a close mutual friend when she was passed out drunk. She told me about it because I had told her about my rape from when I was…
I was assaulted in my U of C dorm by an ex in the early '90s. I was told by administration to address the incident through mediation, because reporting it to police would create a distraction that would interfere with my studies. Being assaulted and victimized wasn't a distraction? Anyway. Would you believe I fell for…
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I completed my undergrad there, and while I have many fond memories of the school and some of the people there, it was also at that school that I met both guys who went on to rape me. I didn't report it at the time and still haven't, but, fortunately, both of them are out of my…
I am so sorry you had a bad experience at the U of C, Jane. I went there as well (Susan Art was my advisor, in fact). I loved the school, but never had much experience with the frat or even dorm aspects of it - had no idea it was so sketchy.
