Because the actual reason cops didn't do anything has nothing to do with misogyny. It has to do with legality. The title of this article is "why didn't the cops do anything". The title is not "The cops didn't do anything because Elliot Rodgers is a misogynist." If I, as a fellow woman and feminist and future attorney…

Ari is saying that the police didn't know anything, without knowledge (aka probable cause) they legally cannot act. They hadn't seen the video, they had no just cause, except for parents telling them that a kid is crazy...cops don't even search for kidnapped adults when parents report them, why would they care about…

On on public campus...You won't find anyone (who isn't affiliated with a university) spewing hate on a private uni's campus.

Police can't just search a home. It's illegal. They need a warrant, which requires time and a judge. Real life isn't like law and order. He never did anything suspicious. Female law student here. Big HUGE feminist. This is a legal issue, not a sexist issue (although sexism influences everything). Read Castle Rock v.…

As a female law student, I would recommend that you read the case Castle Rock v Gonzalez. The government isn't required to do anything. Misogyny, in the bigger picture is important, but in terms of why Elliot was not arrested, it is not important at all. The cops had no probable cause of anything.

He's using an analogy (I'm a woman BTW). The police could not have acted in this case. Misogynist hate, like racist hatred, like homophobic hatred is not in and of itself an offense requiring authoritarian action. Freedom of speech in public places is allowed. It's illegal in many other countries, but until he…

A psychiatrist can't just place somebody under an involuntary psychiatric hold. They actually need a reason (like EXPRESS homicidal or suicidal thoughts, or if they are a danger to themselves or others). Cops too, cannot arrest or place a person under involuntary psychiatric hold without a reason. Unfortunately,…

Actually, on the last season of the Bachelor. The women had to pose in racy costumes as part of a calendar centerfold shoot, so the Bachelor is an equal opportunity offender. In fact, Andy was almost completely naked and felt pressured into because of...charity. I don't remember any Jezzies being up in arms about…

THIS! Nowhere in the ad does she claim to be a professional. She just says she loves dancing and wants to dance. I've been dancing since I was three and my technique sucks. I'm still a dancer who loves dancing. She faked it (for a commercial because that's what actors do) and she made it.

This is what upsets me the most.

I just realized that I replied to the wrong person...why Kinja why!!!!???

Yes! Apparently, now feminism, to bell hooks, isn't for women who choose, (because Beyonce is a living breathing woman), to be commercially appealing, which should be fine. A lot of people don't open their "feminist handbook" before they go out and face the day. Nor should they have to, because there isn't one.

Since you are being elitist, I'm going to be agist: Freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior, barista, grad student? Don't follow you professor blindly. Advice from someone who is slightly older than you and now realizes that only people of a certain age have the nerve to make such ignorant comments, and dare to assume…

Just because someone is relevant, doesn't mean that their opinion is relevant. I think that Hillary clearly made that point in her article. By saying what she did bell hooks clearly alienated many feminists, especially because the headline in mass media will now say "Feminist scholar calls Beyonce Terrorist."…

You tell the child when the child asks. Kids are sentient human beings and are capable of asking questions. Most adopted kids know they are adopted. Some never want to meet their birth parents ever because they are not curious. The circumstances surrounding this are horrible, but there is no reason to ruin another…

Seriously! Think globally, act locally!

Dude: did any of you watch the video where the man who stole all of these women said that Allah wants him to sell women? Ellenjane (who could be black or gay—how the fuck would you know?) did not say "All Muslims" she said that the Boko Haram is a militant Islamic terrorist group that has been linked to Iran and Al…

I concede. I missed the "Dr. Evil" part. However, I am so used to seeing such ignorant comments on this site as of late, I will leave my comment up to educate people on the disgusting history of America's only African colony, Liberia.

White mastermind, behind a militant Islamic terrorist group??? Remember that time on earth when ethnicities liked to murder other ethnicities for arbitrary reasons? There is likely a militant Arab (meaning non-black and likely substantially funded) group behind them, but Islam has been present in Nigeria for…

Dood, Are you a logic maven? Why are you so defensive? Winnitou is a book written in the 19th Century. Karl May never even went to America, so why do you care whether his vision is being insulted. Here we are explaining to you why, as a non-American, you should be concerned, as every person on this chain who has…
