Trebec also said, a while back, that she is very fast on the click button, something that I've observed is usually the bailiwick of male players.

I think maybe you do. At least for Jeopardy watching.

And in the news today, two teenaged girls were found hanged after they'd been gang-raped in one of the northern districts. They've arrested one man and say there are two more suspects.

I came here after reading two news stories from India, one concerning a woman who was bludgeoned to death with stones and sticks on the courthouse steps because she had married a man her relatives didn't sanction while police and bystanders watched, and one in which two teenaged girls were gang-raped and hanged and…

I wasn't counting the other millennia when non-white people ruled the civilized world. Technically, I shouldn't have given white people 2000 years, but it was that or never make the comment white I wasted time working out the math.

actually, I was only counting the part of the civilized world that was white. And as a member of the group that is most often victimized by straight white men, I will generalize all I please. In other conversations I will be fair, but in conversations like these? In conversations in which I and women like me are…

Were you a stereotypic trophy girl—blonde, leggy, tan, model/cheerleader type? That's what this guy wanted. And why on earth would you take what I said personally when I don't even know you?

since it's his nutso vomit about his perceived injuries, damages, and motivations, I absolutely think we have to pay attention to his meaning and accept it. It may not be rational by our measure, but it was an overwhelming drive by his.

But without the shooter's actual words, we can't use what he says to refute the excuses people come up with for him, like he can't have been misogynistic because he killed men, too. For once we have proof that women, and specific aspects about his dealings with women, were part of his story. The MRAs and misogynists…

But these creeps don't want real women. They want the trophy women, the women the media and our culture have led them to expect are their due for the time in their life when they rack all the successful man points, or they think they have. They want an "arm charm," a Playboy bunny or Las Vegas showgirl with no…

They're symptoms of a disease, the most extreme expression of which is mass murder.

I don't think you're high in the least. Plenty of us have been saying this for a long time, but we've simply been called jealous femiNazis. You can't tell straight white men that now they know how women, minorities, and LBGQT people feel when straight white men told them to suck it up, though, because they get all…

He killed his roommates because he wanted to have some pre-girl killing. His main target was the sorority girls, and then all the pretty women out there, and then he meant to kill everyone else. Didn't you read what he actually wrote? Other people, i.e. men, were the side show; all women were his main target. He…

Using "twat" as an insult doesn't help, either. I know it's common in the UK, and I wish it weren't.

"Honey, where's Cuddles?" "Oh, he was restless, so I let him go outside for a while." "You WHAT?!" "well, I told him to stay in the yard . . . "

do any of these people READ? (More than the Bible and magazines)

The remedy is simple. Had Columbia only kicked those they found confirmed of committing sexual assault out of the university and off campus, then any names that were posted would earn the posters libel charges. If you have a gripe, take it to the university, whose failures under Title IX and the Clery Act are…

Where exactly does our experience of rape culture begin if not in witnessing the response of public institutions to the statements of those who protest rape culture? Art is a medium of perception, and this artist's perception was that her piece protested rape culture (our hypocrisy in showing as much female flesh as…

this student has more courage than I could have dreamed of at her age. And both her art and her experience amplify the statement she's making.
