It’s one of the world’s great ironies that a woman in the military is more likely to be raped by her commander than an enemy combatant. And it’s funny, in the blackest, most twisted gallows-humor sense of the word “funny”, that a lot of people hear about this, scratch their hollow pates, node sagely and say: “Well,…

They’re not heroes. They’re citizen soldiers.

I went into a hair dresser, with my then 12 yr old son, and said “Give him a Stiles, Teen Wolf, season one.” The hairdresser knew exactly what I was talking about. My son does have a nice shaped dome.

But they yelled said slurs from their frat house. That means they were representing their house at that moment. Lots of organizations (particularly frats and sororities) have rules about behavior one can engage in when on campus or in Greek housing or in clothing that signifies that one is Greek, because they are, at…

Shut your Snow White ass up.

Yeah, he/she is most assuredly, 100% white. The problem doesn’t affect him/her, so why should he/she care?

Why is it that POC wanting representation in even the simplest things is so bad. It’s annoying and hurtful when people dismiss comments like Pro Club’s. As a black girl who grew up rarely seeing herself in anything, and who LOVES crappy Lifetime movies it would’ve been nice to see some representation. It’s easy to…

This looks awesome, but no POC, WTF?

It would be a bigger tragedy if Oxygen stopped marathoning the early seasons.

Nah, gender inequality is wrong regardless of how much wealth is involved.

Actually, despite male rape being an MRA talking point, feminists were the first champions of the issue of male rape. A man can absolutely be raped by a woman and arousal doesn’t equal consent.

yep. they don’t realize how racist it is for them to declare that the poc character racial identity was not mentioned. that’s one thing i dislike about white authors: you can go an entire book without them mentioning “white” but they’ll be sure to mention every inauthentic poc character’s race.

Seriously. People here only care about this when it is explicitly spelled out. Otherwise, they will defend it to death. “the author said she was supposed to be korean but it wasn’t in the book so its totally OK that its a white girl”

It’s funny - as an Asian woman I remember reading the Martian and being really pleased and surprised that a writer created an Asian main character that was neither the romantic lead nor the nerdy tech person who read out stats.

I mean, you can raise your child to know that women are people but in today’s society every other person outside of your home will remind him that in fact we are not. With their actions, with their laws, with their assumptions, with their words.

it’s autism.

“It didn’t prove what we paid money to prove, so the study must be wrong!” is possibly the worst response to a scientific study.

What the fuck is wrong with white people and status issues? They straight up don’t care if people think they’re racist because they care more about appearing “proper” to the people with “status.” It’s so repulsively class-based and so... 1950s. How the fuck is it 2015 and we’re still having COLLEGE STUDENTS so wrapped…

Ohhhh, white girl got her feewings hurt?

The things that White women/girls get away with are astounding. No wonder White women are so entitled and oblivious yet they have the gall to complain about sexism but have no problem dishing out racism.
