He's so going to do something rotten during the night.

If someone is convicted of a violent crime, it is public record. That is, if someone is found responsible for a violent crime by the state, it is public record. If you or I, on the other hand, find someone responsible for a violent crime, it is not public record. A school tribunal has the same force in law as you

I'm curious about this too. I hope one of our resident Title IX or education law experts chimes in to explain the reasoning behind the confidentiality.

I believe those are called chick tracts.

Yeah, there's a sushi place in my city that does "all you can eat sushi" for a fixed price point, but there's an extra charge for any sushi you order but don't eat to discourage people from ordering every single thing on the menu and then tossing it out after a bite because they "just wanted a taste." Slightly more

If you don't say Calgary, Canada then you could be talking about Calgary, Scotland and we wouldn't know which it was and we'd be so confused! What if I went to Calgary, Scotland with my exceptionally well behaved children and then we failed to get a discount even though they were so well behaved and they blamed

[...] attacking the idea that any body is better than the other is better than attacking any body type.

"Looking healthy" is a misnomer. Thin people can be healthy and fat people can be healthy. You can't judge a person's health by their body size. My weight fluctuates, but I always have very protruding hipbones. So protruding that I actually frequently hit them on door frames or the edges of tables (hurts like you

Being thin does not mean you have an eating disorder. Neither does having ribs that show. Bodies are diverse. I used to have a body similar to that mannequin, ribs and all, and trust me, I ate just fine. Want to advocate for more body diversity in mannequins? Great. That would be much needed. But don't presume to know

I think they should have kept it. I think they shold have kept it and used it, together with other mannequins of other sizes. The problem isn't that mannequins are too skinny, the problem is monoculture. People are different, mannequins should also be different, to convey and condone that fact. Saying that ribs are

Maybe she was fed some line about how this is a way to get a foot in the door for something, but I can't say I've heard of anyone who "made it" who started out doing this crap. Maybe it works out for a few of them on the production side of the business, somewhere?

I'm seeing this self-defeating logic all over these comments:

Cue the Jezebel-ite with the "You don't like the idea of innocent people getting slandered and having reputations ruined? You must be an MRA!!"

If no one will believe it anyway then what is the point? Either we agree that some people will believe it (which is the goal of the person writing down the name) and innocent people will probably get accused or we agree that no one will believe it so no one is falsely (or justly) harmed by it. You can't really go both

I take issue with any situation that can be so blatantly abused as many others on this comment thread have stated as well. You wouldn't want to be hanged in the court of public opinion when you're innocent (nobody has proven these people committed the crimes that put them on the list). I'm not saying there is a

And never mind false accusations - what about something stupid, like 2 guys with the same (or very similar) names.

I am troubled by this occurrence and the comments below. What we are saying is that it is okay to judge someone because their name appears on a list and arrest them because that is "evidence". Don't we believe in a fair justice system? If any of the alleged rapists are found guilty then they should be prosecuted to

Actually, plenty of feminists on the site are already pointing that obvious flaw out. Even an editor. Can't blame those mras (...On jezebel??) For everything it seemsI

hmmm, seems like this would encourage "Slut Lists" as well. I don't quite get this vigilante sexual assault prevention technique.
