This is a testament of todays fucked up "instant journalism". First RS publishes a story without properly fact checking on behalf of the accuser "Jackie" who did not name names at first. Then they retract along with the WaPo thereby hanging the alledged rape victim out to dry, which is fubar imo. Today they, along… Read more

They claim that women are reporting their assaults more frequently while at the same time there sexual assault prevalence is down. The prevalence should only realistically be changing by a tiny… Read more
This lady is cool and good and anything else positive you can say about her, but I think it's also important to remember that often confrontations like this sometimes only serve to galvanize the protesters. I've been an escort in and around the Chicagoland area for ~7 years now and have seen dozens of wonderful womyn… Read more
To be fair, he lives in a ball pit at a local Chuck E. Cheese's, so reluctantly I have to side with him on his proper title here, Anna. Read more
I will settle for letting her yell at me as much as she wants. Read more
I genuinely love the fact that in the UK, "Simple as." is a perfectly reasonable, logical sentence all on its own. Read more
