Im so fucking tired of people siding with Nate Parker by turning it into some white conspiracy against him. It pisses me off so much

everything about that sucks, sorry you were assaulted and your former friends didn’t stand up for you.

I had friends who did that with me.

It would be simpler if it were ONLY one state doing this, it is not. This is country wide. Globe-wide. This is just ONE story in one state, there are thousands and millions more. In every state, and more stories in every country. It’s harmful to think this is a location-based problem. It’s not, it’s an ideology

I don’t get guys who know their roomate has violently raped someone (and heard rumours it’s multiple women) and thinks “well what about his future?”

“What he did, obviously from what you explained, is terrible,” the fraternity member told her, “but I do want you to think about what the consequences [are] with him and his future. …”

He was cleared of all charges.

OBVIOUSLY I didn’t hear all the evidence but I think one thing is clear here: if you ever get in trouble and you have the choice, opt for a jury trial. Juries are stupid as shit. I’ve been following this case and it’s heartbreaking. Her poor family.

The picture taking.. is a bit vile. No, it’s a lot vile.

What is your problem with this woman?

I assume this is going to pan out to be true and I don’t have much difficulty believing he did just what he is accused of. That said I’ve come to believe it is best practice to take allegations of abuse, neglect etc by one parent against the other with at least a small grain of salt when separation and custody are

A relative of mine lost the love of his life because he was an alcoholic. The straw that broke the camel’s back was an incident where he accidentally shut his daughter’s hand in a sliding glass door and because he was so drunk, he kept “opening” the door the wrong way, thereby adding to the injury by pressing harder

When I was getting a divorce because my now-ex-husband went off the deep end with his verbal and emotional abuse, I read that a study showed that most mid-life divorces are initiated by the woman because the husband is “behaving badly” (their words). I was so impressed by this, I wrote it in my journal. Sounds like

Detectives apply Occam’s Razor to every crime except rape. If a man is found dead of a knife wound and another man is found nearby, covered in blood, with a knife, then Occam’s Razor says the second man is the murderer. Reasonable enough. But if a woman is found beaten to a bloody pulp, and nearby a man is found with

Strangely, it’s other men who always talk a huge revenge for rape game but never, ever deliver. It’s such a naked, bullshit attempt for them to feel better about the welfare of the women they care about while doing absolutely nothing to change the culture: “I’d kill the guy.” No you fucking wouldn’t. If the men who

Well hell, the Stanford guy was caught in the act and chased down and he got six months. I really don’t think there’s a situation where it’s “rapey enough” for the authorities.

You might be talking about the actual classes—sure, maybe that's true. The hardcore boys (because they certainly aren't the alpha men they think they are) in the actual community are predators and proud of it.

No. You are wrong. He was taught how to get into a woman's house even if she doesn't really want you in there ("just ask to use the bathroom, it's hard to get you out once you are in"), he was taught to double order for me on drinks when ordering just one for himself (admitted to me after), he was taught to ignore

Well, as someone who has been raped by a PUA, I feel they going pretty well hand in hand. A lot of PUA techniques are about pushing past a no, even when you know a woman doesn't want to have sex with you.
