I think its hilarious that you obviously came over to Jezebel, a place you hate, searched the page for something to plant your MRA flag in, found nothing, and decided to come into a completely NON INFLAMMATORY THREAD and jack off all over it with a “what about the men tho?” There are hundreds of male criminals running…

My sister in law and her lover are Portland hipsters. She works for an artisinal salt company and he designs ironic wolf t-shirts. I wish this was something I made up.
What a weird city you live in that there is only one route to an from the hospital. And how well timed that every time there’s a protest a thousand conservative women seem to go into labor.
“stranded” for a single. hour. Don’t get dizzy with that spin.
So thirty days until he drops the nukes, eh? Great. Hope my daughter enjoyed the 10 years she got.
I wish I hadn’t read this before going to bed. I had literally JUST been talked off the “Nuclear Apocalypse” ledge by some knowledgable folks and now I’m honestly ready to throw up again. I was hiding from my daughter today so she wouldn’t see me crying with fear. What’s the point of all these victories if we’re all…
So what am I supposed to do? What do i tell my kid? She was getting ready for guitar lessons this morning and I almost told her we weren’t going because what’s the point? What’s the point of going to the movies or making art or music or eating or anything when it’s all going to fucking blow up anyway? Do I lie to her…
In a sick, I can’t take it anymore type of way this story is “hilariously” timed because I just came out of an argument with a fellow poster about how there really is no proof that most sports star rape cases are swept under the rug. I can’t even believe this isn’t on the front page of every f-ing newspaper. I mean, I…
I actually need someone like you, who isn’t losing their mind, to remind me every day why some of these things may not happen. Someone needs to start a “here’s the upside” blog or “Why That Won’t Happen” column because I’m honestly getting to 9/11 levels of helpless panic.
Right, because anyone who disagrees with you is a troll. What in the past history of scholastic/sports rape cases leads you to believe this will be treated any different than Stanford, Penn State, Baylor, Steubenville, etc? The precedent has been set.
Don’t worry. It’ll never go to trial. They’ll threaten her life and quietly brush it under the rug and we can all have our precious sports back.
I am not a court of law, and because i’m not an asshole, I assume that when a woman reports a rape she’s telling the truth, and my first consideration is her safety and the proper investigation of her story, not “but I know the coach and he’s a good guy so I highly doubt this happened” which is what ScottsMerkin…
Oh good. So from now on, let’s first assume that the victim is lying...for the good of basketball.
I seem to remember there was also an incredible essay where a woman poured out twenty gallons of condescension talking about how proud she was of an overweight woman that was at her gym. How she was so brave to go out in public and let people see her struggle. It was the. worst.
I would have to say not where I live, but where I travel to. I live in Chicago in a VERY progressive bubble of experience. It’s actually dangerous to live like that because you fail to understand how ridiculous it is outside of the city...I mean even other parts of Illinois are a vastly different world. But when I go…
This all just seems like a really really long and flowery version of tone policing. You’re saying that it’s the oppressed group’s job to walk on eggshells and be polite and submissive and paste on a smile and basically beg for a chance to repair a reputation that was falsely assigned to them by the oppressive group?…
I hear it ALLLL the time. Mostly from people in their late twenties, thirties, because they think that it sounds super progressive and inclusive. I always ask why they don’t see color and they get very mad.
I think this is helpful. As a white feminist I was wondering myself, without trying to be one of those “WHY DON’T YOU EDUCATE ME” folks. The responses to Hangers have been eye opening. And I’ll definitely admit that I have to work harder at showing up for others, for issues that don’t impact my individual life, so…
Ugh. My heart always rebreaks when I hear about people losing their babies. Many years ago I had a miscarriage after my second round of IVF while my husband was out of the country. It was the loneliest, hardest couple of days while I waited for him to get home. Such a long, hard fall from the excitement of finding out…
