... and then I tripped.: the way things are. →
andthenitripped: I’m not surprised that the DSK case was thrown out because the prosecution didn’t feel they could trust the victim. I’m not commenting on whether or not there was innocence or guilt. Actually, Emily Bazelon of Slate.com does a reasonable assessment of the whole thing here. Cases like this…

Amy Winehouse sang of a deeply feminine suffering →
fuckyeahgenderstudies: This is an excellent piece in the Guardian. Pop music had often cast women as sweet, bright creatures, but Winehouse’s lyrics revealed something mulchier, messier. Here was a woman who refused to conform – not in the eccentric mad woman in the attic mould of Kate Bush or Björk, but a woman who chose to live a little wild, follow her heart and sing of the simple stew of...

Cheerleader who wouldn't root for assailant loses →
tylercoates: UUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH TO ALL OF THIS. A Texas high school cheerleader who was kicked off the squad for refusing to chant the name of a basketball player - the same athlete she said had raped her four months earlier - lost a U.S. Supreme Court appeal Monday. A federal appeals court ruled in September that the cheerleader was speaking for the school, not herself, and had no right...

“Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican...”
– And, yes, this is going on. Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m… really not sure how you redefine...

Sady Doyle: Once More, With Feeling: →
sadydoyle: There is a common misperception that rape and sexual assault are uncommon and extraordinary crimes. In fact, they are quite common. Some statistics estimate that 1 in 6 women will be the victim of a sexual assault within her lifetime; others estimate that the rate is actually 1 in 4. This does not even address the fact that some women will be victims of more than one rape or sexual...

My Rape Schedule. →
I’ve probably posted this before, but it bears repeating. See, women are told from birth that men can’t help themselves. They just can’t resist. Girls and women are supposed to control their appetites, their body odors, their excretions, their facial expressions, their words, their sexual cravings. Men and boys? Can do whatever the fuck they want. Guys who eat as much as they like, burp,...

Ann Curry Flubs Wheaton College Commencement →
cassrose1003: Well, after this, everyone’s going to know about Wheaton. I’ve seen about three-four others too. I’ve seen this all over the place: MSN, Yahoo, Time, Huffington Post, Gawker, etc. Even The Daily What included a mention of it. I do feel bad for Ann Curry, though; granted, as a journalist, it was an especially stupid mistake to make, but the rest of her speech was good, and...
