I think the pro-women's-rights crowd needs to be trumpeting the Gosnell case. As in "You thought this was bad? Go ahead. Outlaw abortion and see what women are forced to suffer through then." (Of course, the ones with the goal of punishing women for having sex won't care, but maybe some of their mindless sheep who Read more

I really wish people would stop seeing date rape as a mistake that the person would have never done if he wear sober, also to stop seeing acquaintance rape as just "sexual misconduct" committed by "nice guys". If they were nice guys then the would not have raped her instead of now claiming the girl is a slut that was Read more

As a former RA, I can tell you that the above was accepted practically as orthodoxy in the school I went to. That was nearly >GULP< a decade ago now, but considering what I know of the Res Life department and their general behavior, it wouldn't surprise me if incoming frosh are still taught two beers means rape.

oof. I'm ready for someone to say she should've expected it because she listed her number, so in anticipation of that I'm gonna say... it is common for professionals to list their emails or phone numbers for professional purposes online. This is so weird, I can't even fathom why people think it's ok to do stuff like Read more

As a normal dude who is regularly on the edge of what this site would call inappropriate (not regarding rape) in regards to jokes, I can patently say that this is inappropriate and creepy. Read more

THIS. If I had known this stuff about 12-13 years ago some shit in my life would be different. Straight up. Sharing. Read more

This is super helpful! I'm glad to see all these how the law actually applies to you type explanations. GREAT JOB COLLEGE ACTIVISTS! The one on women's health under obamacare was great also. It really brings it down to real life and makes policy so much more accessible to the general public. Read more

I am so glad this is happening! I have a lot of young women fans, college-bound or in college. This site is going up on my lj and FB pages as soon as I can manage it! Read more

What I like is that she isn't playing the victim. She isn't pretending Weiner manipulated her into a sketchy situation, and she isn't pretending she thought he loved her and they'd run away together someday. Homegirl is calling it what it is, owning it, and making no apologies. Moral implications aside, I find that Read more

I'll be starting college in September, and when I was making the decision of where to go in the spring it came down to Stanford or Yale. I ended up choosing Stanford, and this report makes me so glad I did. Scary. Read more

The report also went on to state that the "non consensual sex perpetrators" will also be sent to the corner for a time out; one minute per year of age. Read more

Yale, Rory doesn't even know who you are anymore!

F- Yale. I got the "University Semi-annual report of Complaints of Sexual Misconduct" email last night and could not believe (read: could totally believe, but was disappointed) its contents. Blerg. Read more

disgusting and scary. come on Yale female students! Rise up! Read more

In fairness, any other policy would seriously tarnish Yale's reputation as the first choice of school for villains in John Hughes movies. Read more
