Here's the thing. It's not that we shouldn't encourage women, on an individual level, to be confident. That's great and fine. It's when we have a societal problem—sexism—and try to put the burden of solving the problem on the individuals who are being hurt by the problem in the first place. Systemic problems can't be…

I think that this trend might be that women are afraid of being brought down hard for being wrong because of their gender. If men are wrong it's just the individual and it's taken as "ah, everyone is stupid sometimes." But if a woman is wrong, it's her gender that's the reason why and she can no longer be trusted. I…

... ... what does it say about me that I'm more disgusted by the city's decision to dump that much water than I am by the teen's decision to piss in it?

The short answer is the simplest, and the one that will get me the most shit on Deadspin: the patriarchy. Police departments are overwhelmingly male, and have been taught by a misogynist society from birth that their experiences are valid, but experiences that differ from their own are either suspicious or fictional.…

And yet nobody feels that way about the christian and catholic religions, despite the vast number of wars started by believers over the last 2 millennia. And all the killings by fanatics.

Tell me when it is a pizza ad with a rabbit pelt in a vagina.

It's not tyranny to ask any male who was known to be on the premises at the time to give a sample. The only reason it's only men is because it was a rape and the DNA found was semen, so that rules out all the women on the premises. If it were a murder and there was blood found, they knew the DNA found was female they…

You would call this tyranny? I'd disagree. It's a bit awkward and uncomfortable at worst. Definitely not as bad as being raped? Don't personally feel as though I would rather a rapist went unpunished so I could avoid a bit of awkwardness. Maybe that's just me though.

How is this tyranny? If a crime took place in my lab's building and it was clear that only people who worked there would have had access to it, I would most likely have to give a statement and potentially fingerprints to the police. Is that unacceptable tyranny? And yeah, if semen is left behind, it's a pretty good…

I did not notice the NSFW warning before I clicked. I was stupidly not expecting internet vagina with my afternoon coffee break.

They could have handled it differently. That's for sure.

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T KILL PEOPLE BEFORE KNOWING THAT THEY'RE 100% GUILTY (even then, it's bad).

"This idea came from women who told us that at the first hint of stubble, they felt like 'dudes.'"

However we are very concerned by any misinterpretation of its tone or meaning

Believe it or not, that actually was not intended to be a rape joke. It was supposed to tie into the first paragraph about torture, which I acknowledge is kind of gross on its own. That said, I can see how it was read that way and apologize for being so insensitive. I've deleted the offending sentence and will be more…

I was always a sucker for the old-school campaigns. Absolut's, for example.

What the fuck ARE you with a comment like that?

To answer your first question, it's worse because the government pays and arms this person to protect people, and instead he preyed on them. So in addition to the crime, his actions were a violation of his duty and [further] undermine the trust that is necessary between the police and the policed to make our whole…

You're missing the point. Fans are mad because the ending ignores 9 seasons of character development. The ending would have worked if the show ended at season 4.

*Stands on all the women who have worked their asses off so she can stand there today* Feminism is not important and I don't like it. "*walks away on all the women who continue to be oppressed today and tomorrow.*
