I can say without a doubt that was not Junior Galette. That was Pootie Tang.

As the video starts, the guy in the white shirt with the belt is attacked by several men and women. He defends himself with punches and roundhouse hits with a belt. What is he supposed to do? Stand still and be a punching bag? This is nowhere near Ray Rice territory.

This is a clear human rights violation - anyone who shoots smartphone video in portrait mode should be made to answer for it. WE DEMAND PROSECUTION.

Whyyyyyyy do all these trolls get ungreyed so easily today??? It’s the same on the Rose McGowan article! Is today “MRA troll appreciation day” on Jezebel or something?!

Saying a woman or girl has “daddy issues” is fucking wretched. If she has daddy issues, shouldn’t the hate be directed at, you know, her god damned father? How is his disgusting and damaging fuckery her fault?

Reports out of Alouettes training camp say that Michael Sam was having a hard time adjusting to his role in the 12-man CFL defensive scheme, where teams generally employ a fifth defensive back.

I’m actually 100% white and I can’t fucking stand the “I’ve been privy to their racist comments against minorities because clearly ALL white people are in this together” thing either.* Some white people just assume that races are “teams” and we’re all obviously out to get each other.

That racism wasn’t aimed towards you, though. It was aimed towards visibly ethnic Hispanics (I am one of those) that have it infinitely worse than you ever will.

I’m thinking about what could possibly be going through her head, and really trying to figure out where her heart is, too, and I keep coming up with this hunch that she really was trying to be, I dunno, true to herself somehow...? Or at least she never meant to hurt anyone, in fact quite the opposite...? It has my…

Minor point (ER doctor here). CT scans do not diagnose concussions. They are used to rule-out more serious pathology, such as bleeding in the brain. Concussion is a clinical diagnoses based on history, physical exam, and the patient’s symptoms.

So Gay marriage is pretty much like regular marriage? Got it!

I think what is interesting about this internet installation (or whatever) is that it forcibly blurs the distinctions between the private space of artistic experience and the public realities of political expression. Everyone recognized that Carry That Weight was inherently political and social in nature — it aimed at…

you’re not going to watch the video? I’m going to file a Title IX complaint against you! For Feminism!

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

It remains an inelegant phrase. Died by suicide means “died by killing themselves,” it’s like saying died by fatality.

“died by suicide” has to be one of the sloppiest phrases I’ve heard in awhile. You commit suicide or you kill yourself. Suicide is a motive, not a method.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Chopping off her hair. What kind of fucking medieval punishment is this? That’s what they did to women who slept with Germans during the French occupation. Getting drunk or whatever doesn’t warrant this hateful treatment. This is horrid.

Please don't tell her how to feel about her own experience. It is not your place to instruct her on what her emotions should be about something that happened to her.
