Wow, I didn't even notice that. What the fuck. Yeah, usually try not to link to that paper, but they had the best version of the story and it's the one the teammate tipster sent me. :/ Read more

Wow! AWESOME. Do you know if he was actually expelled or what? Read more

Both work though, I just think disorganized is stronger. Read more

You are incorrect! It is indeed a word. But actually I had "disorganized" first and it got switched in the editing process, fixing now. Read more

While I appreciate that you care about terminology — I do too — I work closely with Planned Parenthood and I agree with them that it's actually more accurate to describe people as supporters or opponents of abortion instead of using the word "choice." I'm actually planning on writing more about this topic in the next… Read more

Thank you! You don't have to be sorry. I know it's hard to think of bloggers you don't know as real people who get annoyed. (At least it was for me before I was one myself.)

It irked me because my job is to report on this type of stuff. I've published multiple reported pieces on rape culture on high school and college campuses. He has not. Why would he assume I wouldn't be careful? It verged into mansplaining territory for me because I write about women's issues, and he does not. But I… Read more

I know. I felt mansplained — I write about rape accusations on a nearly daily basis and have for a long time, I don't just broadcast information without making sure I can back it up — but I showed the email to some other people who disagreed and thought I was just being sensitive, so I let it go.

ALSO: I'd like to see/promote discussion about next steps, what can we actually do. Petitions, marches, letters, what? AS one of my friends said, "The fuel is there and there are so many people who feel this way but the strategy is missing." Read more
