Jesus Fuck, really?!!

Yes, I was very disappointed when I read up on him, I saw him in some alien movie called Outlander or something. Very hot but insane.

See, this is why I only have imaginary boyfriends now.

She was not able to overpower you, right? So perhaps that’s why you found it laughable. But your experience does not pertain to anyone else.

Did you read the article? They did find him guilty. Then he appealed, and the school kept intruding on the woman at work, botching things, etc. - so she said forget it - and without any testimony from her, they reversed their decision. Duh.

I’m sorry. You’re saying that sexual assault (and that’s what you’re describing) is ubiquitous, so rather than encourage women to report incidents of sexual assault to the authorities, we should “make it okay” for them to respond to sexual violence with physical violence? That’s frankly insane and very unhelpful.

I think it’s exactly the right solution.

When everything’s okay so long as it doesn’t involve PIV, women are expected to put up with unbelieveable shit. Grabbing, groping, tit-squeezing, you name it, you’re fair game. THAT IS FOR SHIT.

Start punishing it, and I think guys will learn pretty quickly that asking is…

Given how the press is scrambling to defend her rapist and she is not backing away from her story, hero is an appropriate term. Sorry she’s about two centuries too late to be at the forefront liberating the slaves, but what a fucking shit comment.

That Cathy Young piece is an absolutely hatchet job. Young is a dyed in the wool anti-woman nutter and that ridiculous piece has become the Bible for the “facts” of Nungesser’s accusations as they are repeatedly recapitulated by rape apologists.

Sadly we see a lot of instances like this, where the process of bringing the accused to justice proves to be too emotionally onerous for the accuser.

I was raped at a small college over twenty years ago. I went to the police and their first question was why didn’t I go to the college disciplinary board first. Needless to say that nothing happened from either side. He was cleared because he was an athlete and “athletes are oftentimes falsely accused” of rape or…

Something bad happened to a woman? SHE MUST’VE HANDLED IT WRONG. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF YOU AREN’T PERFECT YOU DESERVED TO BE A VICTIM. SHE MUST’VE BEEN ASKING FOR IT. VICTIMS ARE WHO WE SHOULD REALLY BLAME.

She did go to the police but ended up dropping it because she didn’t want to deal with the investigators. It may sound stupid but investigations into sexual assault are exhaustive and some people are not emotionally capable, ready, or willing to deal with that.

Why didn’t Emma go to the police first? A college isn’t equipped to conduct an investigation of this nature. And they’re far more concerned about saving face than actually delivering justice.

Ah, I love a bit of blatant racism in the morning.

Educate yourself on colonialism, imperialism, and foreign intervention in general in Africa and Latin America— and then we'll talk.

"Women typically only do what they care about"

So once again being gay is reduced to just sex? Surprising.
