Oh, please. You do this all the time. Anyone can click your comment history and see what I’m talking about. You always start with a “just wondering” and when people argue you (often with more civility than you deserve), you reveal yourself to be unwilling to hear anything that doesn’t support whatever fucked up…

You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but there’s a pattern of men being violent against women.

Obviously enough do that women are entitled to be scared of it. Otherwise this article, and all the others like it, wouldn’t exist.

Ugh, god. A young woman and her friend are murdered by her ex and the trolls don’t skip a fucking beat.

I had a guy do similar to me, 6 dates and I broke it off as I found myself becoming increasingly intimidated by him and how intense he was being. I was super careful to let him down gently, told him I just “wasn’t feeling it” and from what he had told me, we had different life goals (his included many children, mine…

Women are murdered every day in this country because they are....women. The “urgency” is not just the literal life and death situations that women find themselves in due to misogyny; the everyday struggle of women in this country to survive on sub-par wages and with patriarchal constraints that keep them from having a…

I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then…

Thanks for posting the victims pictures and not the guy who did this.

Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

Seriously. Why would you even leave the house with a face if you don’t want this to happen.

She was probably asking for it. I mean, she left the house with her face exposed. HER FACE! You don’t show your face unless you want it to be ejaculated upon.

You know, she probably hurt herself on purpose so that she could lure him into ejaculating on her face while she was unconscious and unaware. What a tease.

Women will complain about anything these days. It’s like, if you don’t want to have your face ejaculated on, don’t injure your shoulder...seems pretty simple to me.

If someone asks you over and over if they can put their penis inside you, and you keep saying no, and then they do it anyway and you don’t fight them off, that’s totally cool with you, right? Because that’s rape. Taking out the garbage is not rape. Eating candy is not rape. An unwelcome penis inside you is rape.

let me guess—you’re a man, right?

If there is a woman alive who has not had this experience, I’d like to meet her, because she is a rare, rare creature. I’m so grateful to you for sharing your story and elaborating on the complexity of consent. So many people want to make it a black-and-white, yes-or-no issue, and the more people who stand up and say…

As someone who was a domestic violence and sexual assault advocate for many years, it never fails to amaze me at how abusers/rapists fail to understand the extremity and harm of their actions. “All I did was push her a little.” (She had a broken collabone and shoulder.) “It was totally consensual.” (She suffered a…

I’m not sure she realizes the irreparable harm of her actions.

Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.
