Yeah I know and it sucks but I just cannot support the film and I’m pissed because I love Aja and I want to support her!

I'm a guy. Fuck him any one who thinks there is a grey area in this case. Dude is a flat out peice of shit.

Yup and yet here he is acting like a victim

As a black woman I have to get this off my chest. If I see one more black man say this shit was brought up because of Birth of a Nation I am going to scream! I have known about this for at least 3 or 4 years you didn’t want to know don’t start with the conspiracy theories.

Nah, man. I get the dive was legal but it was also a shitty thing to watch.

The right to be believed doesn’t dictate personal behavior. It’s a standard for police investigation and public reporting - the idea that any alleged rape is likely true and should be investigated and the victim supported. It doesn’t mean that a woman must believe the word of a stranger over that of her husband and…

One assumes when Hillary Clinton says that sexual assault victims have a right to be believed, she means by the authorities etc. when they report. Because a lot of women have a hellish time with the police and whatnot placing the burden of proof on sexual assault victims and re-victimizing them. And I also agree with…

No need to be mean to candy-pants. People are allowed to feel how they feel. Minimizing his or her feelings is not very kind. I’m glad you feel that life angst is “not a big deal” for you, but being snarky to another commenter who’s obviously not feeling great about themselves is cruel.

Same! The older I got, the more I felt like there weren’t really all that many “supposed tos.” We’re supposed to be decent human beings and treat each other as we wish to be treated. That’s... about it, really!

I just want to thank you for writing this. I literally just had a meltdown about an hour ago on my mom’s couch because I feel like I’m still so dependent on my parents in so many ways when I should be completely independent and “being an adult.” I am 24. I’ve been a high school teacher since I graduated college two…

Thank fucking god. Thirty-one and I feel like a massive failure at life. I’m nowhere near being an adult. It was “cute” a few years ago, now I just feel pathetic.

I’m 31 now, and I remember having a conversation with a college friend when we were both 25. She was like, “do you remember being a kid and thinking that 25 was SO OLD, and that you would DEFINITELY have all your shit together by then? Like, 100% solid career track, white picket fence house, dog, husband, etc.”

I had to extract myself from a Facebook thread a couple days ago with a bunch of these types. I was the only POC and was doing my best to be polite, but I just can’t be responsible for trying to educate a bunch of white people who circled the wagons around an unintended racist comment. That shit was tiring.

Fair points about od caused by a compressed cord, I was just answering the question about suffocation. I read that she was crowning, not that the baby was already delivered (if the chest is out, the shoulders are as well so delivery is done at that point) and shoved back in. And I’m not arguing that this in not…

More because he cracks me up

The animated title at the top just killed me. I am dead.

You guys are really killing it on this coverage, Stassa. This is a great article among great articles on The Slot, and I’m really glad you guys are here.

This was my thought as well. There are probably editors who didn’t want to use a photo of HRC because she didn’t speak at the convention, and therefore isn’t “the news” of the day.
