@ineffable.me: It's not as bad as those fucking horrible documentaries about the Duggars, though. UGH. I really, really dislike those creepy-ass people. Read more

She's gorgeous. I used to think that he was the hotness, but now I'm kind of over him—he seems sleazy for some reason. Especially with that terrible facial hair. Read more

@gherkinfiend: I know, and I vow to do this every time, and every time, I'm sucked in because I become so angry. I think that's a wonderful idea, though. Read more

@gherkinfiend: That's the thing, too. We get sidetracked about whether or not women lie about rape and never actually get a chance to discuss the issues around rape. We are just stuck in this fucking holding pattern and it doesn't help anyone. Read more

@rsr26: Well, it was a cheap shot at you, because you hadn't said anything yet, so I apologize for that. But I'm not going to apologize for going after someone who drops in on a thread and starts talking about women lying about being raped in no other context except that this post is about rape. The letter, real or Read more

@rsr26: That's fine, I think it's a prank, too, but it doesn't change the fact that she gave really shitty advice if it were true, and that there is always some sort of "Oh, yeah, but women lie" "argument" on a rape thread no matter what. Read more

@kcs: READ THE LETTER. Also, I find it telling that your response to this letter isn't "Well, gee, this seems odd," but to automatically say that "some women lie about rape." Read more

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: Pickles, don't you know we took a time machine back to 1962? I'm not sure why the internets still exist, but if Peggy Sue makes out with Bobby behind the bleachers, no one will ever believe anything that she says ever again. Read more

@kcs: a) Did you read the letter?, and b) did you read Jezebel for the last fucking 6 months? Old ground, you are treading it. Read more

Ew, how awful, even if it is fake. Plus, there have been cases of women being raped by men's brothers thinking that they were their significant others, so it's probably best that she offer actual, like, advice instead of sexist bullshit. Read more

@I, SBJ, A Fucking Dyke: White Chalk is good, but don't listen to it if you're doing anything particularly active. Give it a few good, quiet listens with a glass of wine and a magazine or something. It's good, though. Also, have you heard of Nina Nastasia? I think you would really like her. Read more
