I think there's been some miscommunication here if you believe anyone in this comment chain is trying to burden any rape survivor.

Shadow docket. They spent years hiding not only the rulings themselves but this very practice from the public eye, refusing to acknowledge its growing importance in our lives, and gave up any right to set the name of it. It's not only used for emergencies anyway. That name isn't accurate.

I think that is a sensible and compassionate view. Obviously it doesn't and can't please everyone, but putting the responsibility on rapists not their survivors is a widely accepted best practice in community education and assault prevention.

I like when he said she has had health insurance all her life and her rebuttal was one year she was a failed candidate for governor and couldn't afford healthcare. In the 90s. Real woman of the people in tune with the average Jane, that Collins.

We are spending this much money, not for some vital national interest, but in order to secure oil shipments from the Gulf Monarchies to China so that oil prices don't spike before the midterms. There are Navy guys who haven't seen their family in 8 months doing it so the GOP can maybe win KS-SEN

As a Catholic, like Alito, I think it's so important for you to know how little—how absolutely not at all—your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) impacts my religious liberty. In fact, refusing to acknowledge your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) is a grave affront to your innate human dignity.

Alito calls same-sex marriage a 'decisive' turn 'against religious liberty' in new book

A new book by Justice Samuel Alito presents his view of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the country with a focus on religious freedom.

It is not conscious. It is absolutely foolish to even suggest such at this point.

education and careers were cut short because of abuse from others, who deserved so much better from everyone around them, and we are poorer as a society both for allowing that abuse and losing some of the opportunities those abuse survivors gave up to rightfully protect themselves.

I do wish I or someone else had taken the idea a bit more seriously. People shouldn't feel pressured to join or participate with groups that cause immense social harm just to build connections. There needs to be more safe options that don't potentially ostracize you. I know multiple people whose

I was on the edge of being overwhelmed as the president/director of three orgs, on the board of another, a double major with an additional cert. program soon graduating, and having recently been homeless, and I brushed off those comments as a "wouldn't that be nice." without any real plan.

Greek life was suspect when I was at university, and I remember a few people saying, I assumed joking, that they wished the volunteer organizations I was involved with could replace them. Get our own letters and build an alternative community based on public service instead of hazing and parties.

The person they quoted have a completely unsubstantiated reason for why there are nets (that the nets being there contradicts) with an obvious implicaiton that *rates* of suicide are high at Cornell. That isn't generally correct when the only part they got unambiguously right is that there are nets.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Maybe not ALL women, but definitely MOST of us. Maybe not EVERY University, but MOST of them! Maybe not ALL men, but a whole fucking lot of them, and if we do not teach them that "Locker room talk" is NOT acceptable, things will never change. Gonzaga, too ellieleonard.substack.com/p/gonzaga-to...

I’ve said many times that I’m grateful not to consider myself a “survivor,” especially in the context of some of the darkest things I cover in my writing.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Women Are Not Safe Around Men

This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

The university president did refuse to shake her hand, though the image leaves out that she carried the mattress to the graduation and shaking her hand with it right there would further the idea that Columbia endorsed accusations against someone they cleared after investigation.

Three official investigations plus the news - local, state, and national - all looking into the accusation is not a nothing response. Most public opinion seems to have sided with her, and she did bring attention to the problem of campus sexual assault. This wasn't buried with no examination.

give her course credit for her mattress project, effectively endorsing it, and did not dissuade posting his name and the accusation across the campus. It was enough that they later settled a lawsuit alleging discrimination *against* Nungesser. We can definitely question the investigations, but
