Is compassion for victims of brutal crimes a Western thing now?

I think this particular culture has a concept that sums it all up nicely- Karma.

So because I dare to question that maybe pornography and sex work in general is not good for women, you accuse me of only caring about white women? Sweetheart, I don't know who you're angry at, but I don't think it's me.

You'll have to clarify for me exactly what it is you're trying to say. You're skeptical of the concept of equality between the genders, or just your personal definition of feminism that your reserve for people who do not share you views?

I think you're onto something there. I've had the same conversations with gay friends before.

And this, in a nutshell, is why I am skeptical of the "sex-positive" feminist approach to porn. Where is this kinder, gentler porn that I keep hearing about? Where are all these happy sex workers with hearts of gold? Trying to frame these issues as empowered choices that women make because agency obscures the fact…

I'm also a Wyoming native- though from the west side of the state- and I know exactly what John Morgan is trying to say. It wasn't that Laramie was destroyed- it's that this horrible thing put it on the map, and now Laramie will always be "the gay basher town". It sucks for the locals, just like it sucks for the…

Hey, Steubenville: your shitty town raised bad people and then tried to protect those bad people from the consequences of their actions, and you should feel bad.

You don't appear to know the definition of censorship.

Why did the glasses have to go, too? It's like some terrible Freddy Prinze Jr. movie condensed into gif form.

This is Mexico we are talking about. I don't think it can get worse. When this is the only type of justice being meted out, you take it where you can get it.

Newsflash: a lot of these victims are already being killed. The status quo is not working.

In my opinion, I think you should be able to push the woman off of you or remove her hand, but I get that this is a more complicated issue for you. I had never really thought about it before. I would very loudly say "STOP TOUCHING ME" and shame her that way. It's probably not much help. I'm sorry you have to deal with…

Gettin' a little nervous there, buddy? Modify your behavior and you won't have to worry about it.

You have every right to stand up for yourself when this happens to you. Harassment is harassment is harassment.

My child is almost nine years old, is pulling straight A's in school, and is exceptionally well-mannered- but I am touched by your concern. I do find it a bit perplexing that you should care, however, since you seem to think that I should not have protected him when he was being attacked by an animal in utero. That is…

Usually I never have much problems with any animal, cat or dog. This was the only time a cat has ever attacked me. I found out later from a mutual friend of the owner's that the cat had a long history of such behavior, so it wasn't exactly an isolated incident. It was truly terrifying, though- and the only time I have…

I actually did punch a cat once- but I do not feel bad about it, not even a little bit. The horrible thing was full-on attacking my pregnant belly with its claws and teeth. Its owner, meanwhile, looked on with the amused smile of a mother in a Bounty paper towel commercial, and said something like "That's my kitty!…
