@nessunolosa: I was beginning to think I'd taken crazy pills - seriously. Thank you for confirming that I'm not completley off the mark.

@CrazyLegsMeg: Furthermore, we can all recognize scenarios where a "good guy" gets off, and we all agree that's totally wrong. This is the exact opposite, a "bad guy" gets Interpol on his ass. I see these as being equally awful; both scenarios perpetuate rape culture.

@Melatonin: I guess I just see this situation as an exploitation of a rape. Like I said above - the message being sent to the international community is "your rape only counts if it helps us catch a guy we couldn't otherwise catch"

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: I don't make sweeping statements like that, and that's obviously not a rational argument. I'm making a statement about how WE as feminists are handling the situation, not saying how the international law enforcement community should handle their business.

@7andfive: These charges are a means to an end. The message to the international community is "your rape only counts when we need to hold the guy because we can't nail him for the other bad stuff he did". I feel like we, as a community, are missing an opportunity to highlight other instances of rape that are NOT…

These charges are a means to an end (of espionage, in this case).

@Susan B.: You read my mind.

I absolutely deny that Kevin Spacey is contributing to the culture of homophobia. Fuck that assumption.

@zap rowsdower: Agreed. I think my dad and I would both, simultaneously self-combust were he to (mistakenly, because there is no other explanation) reference my breasts.

@Golddiggin: It sadly does - I've always wondered why she isn't in more stuff.

I've always had trouble walking in cars...

@WaffleCopter: I got my hair braided when my family visited Jamaica - my scalp got completely sunburned (even with sunscreen applications) so badly that it peeled. I would have indentations in my face and back from the little beads at the end ... and you know what? I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!

Why bother asking if crowdsourcing is the right approach AFTER you just blasted the guys phone number?

@AllieCaulfield: THANK YOU!

@domesticdork: Bingo.

@yeimi: I cannot believe she's 40.

@C_MaryLouise: People that go around defining who IS or ISN'T a "feminist" are the reason so many people recoil at the word. Seriously. I know because I'm one of them.

@cupcakefauxpaws: Dude. It's so funny - I keep getting busted at work because it makes me LITERALLY LAUGH OUT LOUD (LLOL - new hip acronym?? I'm thinking maybe!)

@reallyred: Right?!

@YoungBayardRustin: THANK YOU. Of course, it wouldn't generate the page views if it were framed that way...
