Not even close to a good job - but, at least they have the resources to possibly do a better job. It would certainly be easier to reform and retrain 50 state police forces than hundreds (thousands) of various school and local police forces.

This part really jumps out at me:

"Setting aside for a moment the absurdity of a school offering to handle the investigation and adjudication of a felony sex crime – something Title IX requires, but which no university on Earth is equipped to do"

I have never encountered a college Public Safety squad or university…

"According to Schmidt, in previous years the girls have wore combinations of the schools' colors — black and gold. But when the senior girls arrived prior to the November 5 game, they discovered everyone had brought the same color face paint — black."

It jumped out at me as dismissive yesterday, but I chalked it up to a situation where the source is not generally considered reliable. I mean, I completely believe Janice Dickinson, in this specific case, as I am sure Rebecca Rose does, but, I don't think Dickinson is generally considered a very reliable or…

There is something especially infuriating about a bad lie. I mean, they all just happened to have bought black face paint? How could any human being possibly believe that?

From yesterday's Jezebel write-up on Dickinson's accusation:

"Dickinson, a model who calls herself the "world's first supermodel," is known for her stints on several reality shows such as The Surreal Life and America's Next Top Model."

A pot dealer with a snow machine would be making a serious fortune on a day like today.

First, my penis does not disqualify me from being a feminist, or joining in a feminist discussion on the internet.

Second, your insistence on attacking my gender doesn't make you a feminist or a strong person, it makes you an asshole.

Third, I openly admitted that I haven't seen a movie, so I wasn't sure if the title…

I don't think my cock grants me rights to my opinions on the reason for a lack of good roles for women in Hollywood, and I doubt you think your vagina grants you rights to yours.

I really don't understand why you are so angry with me. Because my count is off on the number of movies in the top 50 box office - a list…

I didn't say that female leads affect movie sales. I don't think that female leads affect movie sales. I think that when women have been given the opportunity to lead big movies, and potentially big movies, they have repeatedly and consistently done it well. I don't think that opportunity has been given to enough…

I never moved the goalposts, I said what my standard was, since I didn't see the movie, and cannot speak to the screen time of any of the characters. I have not seen every one of the 50 highest grossing movies of all time - have you? Having not seen the movie, I went by what I knew of it, which was the marketing,…

I would say that the Transformers themselves were the center of the marketing push. I don't remember hearing anyone call it "the new Megan Fox movie" or "the new Megan Fox's ass movie".

I didn't see Alice In Wonderland, so, I have no idea about actual screen time. At the time it came out, I remember thinking it's…

If you look at the top 50 highest-grossing movies of all time, only two could be said to have a clear female lead - Frozen and Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

I didn't count Alice In Wonderland, because Johnny Depp was on the poster, and he was the center of the marketing push. I'd bet 9 out of 10 people couldn't name…

First, I have repeatedly made it clear that I don't believe that, legally, these people refused service. They said it would not be a good match, and suggested someone else - they never flat out said "I will not shoot this wedding". Legally, I do not think you could get them for discrimination. Very, very different…

I understand that the hesitation someone might feel about shooting an elaborate Indian wedding might come from a very different place than the person who just isn't comfortable at a gay wedding.

The tough part is this:

"Similarly, I think I'd appreciate a photographer who kind of went "I don't have cultural context…

Why are you so determined to make this about me, and make me the stand-in for these people? Why are you so determined to put words in my mouth that I didn't say?

And, why not answer my question? There are some crazy evangelical churches out where I live, anti-gay, anti-women, anti-minority, etc. Should I, legally,…

Okay, let me ask you this way:

I strongly support gay marriage. Some churches allow them, some churches do not. Should I be legally allowed to refuse to work a wedding in a church that I feel is bigoted? Recently, the national Presbyterian Church decided to allow gay weddings, but, individual parishes were allowed…

I know some people who had fairly traumatic relationships with the Catholic Church. If one of those people were a photographer, should they have the legal right to say "I have to pass on the gig, because I won't step into a Catholic Church?" I really don't know. Is that discrimination, or is that having the right…

See, why twist my words? I didn't say someone (or I) would hesitate to work a gig that wasn't completely familiar, I said I can understand a photographer might not want to work a gig that was completely unfamiliar. Someone might say "I am sure you will do fine" on the front end, and the vote of confidence is nice,…

The thing is, when it comes to photography, I don't think the decision should be left entirely up to the couple to decide how they feel about my inexperience or discomfort with a gig. If I say, "I don't think I would be right for your Sikh wedding, I have never done one", I don't want to hear back "I am sure you'll…
