That headline is ambiguous. I was so relieved to read the main article and discover it was the parents of the victim who are suing the school, and not the Labries. Tell me I’m not the only one.

Apparently “geometric patterns” is a culture. It is populated by those people in your math problems who buy 70 watermelons and leave Dallas on trains travelling 60mph.

I know that we shouldn’t be surprised by it at this point, but when news first broke of his death I’m pretty sure this is the last fucking thing that anybody expected. 3 years 6 months 24 days for me since my last hit of dope and my heart is truly with anyone out there reading this that is still suffering from this…

I’m not trying to be funny because this is sad, but the only way I can imagine that working is if you do it like jousting. You run at each other with big knives and hope you hit a vital organ.

Probably too busy deleting cancer survivors’ post mastectomy photos celebrating their beauty.

This. I was coming here to say this. Why was Hadid just ignored here? Adding that to the snarky comments about Christina Aguilera and Cameron Diaz, both mixed, and parts of the article kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

I’m not going to waste my time arguing with you. There are a lot of comments in this thread that explain my point, if you bothered to read them. Also, I don’t have any agenda. Just stop, you’re exhausting.

I honestly cannot look at paint color names because I like some of them so much they color my choice (PUN INTENDED!!!)

Lol, violence is larger that just like, beating someone. Violence is a larger term that encompasses things like pleasure-less gang bangs titled things like “dumb big tit slut gets fucked hard by 6 dicks” or whatever. Broaden your concept of what constitutes violence or if you don’t like the term violence, you can…

Unpopular opinion time! This story shows up, in graphic detail, the failure of the “only consent matters” sexual ethic.

I think it’s the idea that girls (and women) are either ‘just slutty’ or ‘frigid, good girls’ with nothing in between.

that detail should give pause to anyone trying to defend this as a totally innocent, consensual encounter between peers (as if the 25 on one isn’t already a red flag, or the filming, or the fact that they had known her for only two weeks, or or or or or )

It would take you one second to scroll up to where I said “have sex” and not rape. But ok.

But consent isn’t the only barrier for everyone, and expecially young women. Women tend to have very specific barriers, but again and again, we see instances where young men have sex soley becasue it’s available. It feels like a cultural failure, lack of education, etc.

How is it misogynistic to suggest young men should consider the circumstances of their sexual encounters? that not all sexual encounters are healthy? That they should be proactive in choosing which situations to proceed with and which not to? These are all things we teach young women.

If she said she wants to and they want to why would they choose not to?

Except that’s not patriarchy that’s valuing him for his looks. Looks have always been important for certain jobs, including acting. The patriarchy makes it more important for a woman to be beautiful than me. There is no female Rob Riener. It’s taken us years to get a larger woman like Melissa McCarthy to be a…

THANK YOU for this. Thank you. If even one person reads this and thinks “damn, I oughta schedule a [medical test]” then you might have saved a life today.

so i just watched a video of Adele scolding a woman for taking video at her show...

He is not the subject of institutionalized discrimination, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not being subject to the same treatment that is part of a larger system of oppression. Him pointing that out in a way that doesn’t distract from institutional sexism, that doesn’t take up women’s space, is perfectly…
