"She enjoys acoustic guitar and party dressing."
"One: I don't care about her musical ability, Two: 'party dressing' isn't really a definable activity, Three: if we're basing guilt off hobbies then my hobby of digging holes and putting living plants in them is surely going to earn me a class C felony sometime soon."

When Meredith Kercher was murdered, the Daily Fail printed what her friends had written on her wall. I found that rather intrusive and distasteful.

She also has a list of "acceptable" photos that the press can run just in cases. No drunk photos of me dancing on a bar, por favors. If they want to yank a pic of me from my Facebook, she knows the 3 that are acceptable not to delete.
It is sad that we have to have this convo, but c'mon... it's terrible for the press to use the info the way they do.

And anyone with a sparkly webpage is generally suspect.

So much makes sense now.

I obviously am responsible for all the negatives in his life.

Here I thought it was the police investigating the romantic partners who always have an air of suspicion around them, especially if the couple got into an argument prior to the murder.
Now I know that it is the the patriarchy at work again trying to keep independent women down.

And I also want to thank you all for talking about your own experiences this week.
When I was a rape crisis counselor, I learned just how powerful it is when people start to tell their stories, for the teller, as well as for those listening. Jezebel is a much, much larger community, there are many more listeners, than we begin to know. I'm certain that these stories have had an enormous impact on many, many people, men and women. Please know that these conversations have likely saved some lives.

Again, sucky week.

Just look at Britney Spears and how eager so many young women were to tear her down at the first sign of trouble in her life. I can't tell you how many comments I saw/read where women speculated that she was a terrible parent/psycho/alcoholic/drug addict and nothing but praises were given to Kevin Federline. The moment a successful woman shows a chink in her armor, we do all we can to finish tearing her down.
In a lot of ways I don't think you can even blame these girls for feeling this way. It's ingrained into us from birth, survival of the fittest. Most teenage girls are probably not even aware that they think this way. In a lot of ways women are far more evil to each other than a man could ever be to us.

Life long resident here, I think Chicago will always produce the crazy. In good and bad times we will always have Mayor Daley, the janky public school system, and the CTA to bring the disappointment and lulz.
We're gonna be holding onto Barack Obama FOREVER!

This is also the same girl who was pressured into taking her clothes off and laying on the bed naked by her sister's 23 year-old bf. Her sister and the guy are still dating.
I'm deeply concerned with the lastest generation of teenagers.

Is there nothing that he can be charged with? Dear god that is 41 kinds of wrong.

And, in turn, Rihanna doesn't get to hit him. If there was evidence she had hit him, the police would have charged her, too. (They didn't, so we can assume she didn't.) That's the way it works with DV cases, the police have the discretion to arrest either or both parties. The idea that women get to beat up men with no consequences is also bullshit.
