Why the hell is it the business of the school what she does on her time? It doesn't sound like she was trying to get special treatment or a "pass" as much as a bunch of shitty people whose noses were too far into other people's business.

So many people embrace or just collaborate with Cancel Culture as if it won't turn on them. But it's a ravenous beast that holds no loyalties. And it will come for everyone eventually. In any case, I find a bit of schadenfreude in the poetic justice of someone playing Woke and then getting bodied for being a hypocrite.

For my part, I resent the hypocrisy of the whole thing. That someone who was merciless in their persecution of someone else finds themselves on the other end of the situation for once. Or, as Michael Scott put it, "my, how the turntables."

This is what too many people don’t get. They collaborate, thinking that the woke crowd will grant them amnesty. But cancel culture is a voracious beast that can never be satisfied, and all collaboration does is make them look like a hypocrite when it’s their turn to be devoured.

Watching my father fight for custody was a big motivator. My father is an amazing dad. And there are a lot of reasons that I’m very close to him as an adult and not at all to my mother. But watching people minimize and trivialize his efforts is absolutely infuriating.

There's a lot to unpack here: OP says that Natalie is a "nice girl" and her "best friend" while demonstrating that Natalie is clearly a piece of shit. This doesn't reflect well on OP. Despite Natalie being a cheater, liar, and user, OP claims to have "more loyalty to Natalie than Eric." For Christ's sake, why? Eric is "graduating college soon" and "has a car and an apartment", but is dating a girl who just graduated high school. They found a Groupon for an Italian vacation? Where the fuck is tha…

The fact that a classic “masculine” man, Terry Crews, speaks up about this issue is crucial. We need good men like him to show the rest of us that it’s okay to talk about our experiences. Like when General Norman Schwarzkopf advocated for prostate exams.

I think what's most telling about the story is that it's all about how she feels about having sex with an unconscious person. No empathy, no discussion of his condition or feelings. Amy's focused 100% on Amy.

Men are sometimes held to a different and unfair standard. Last month, a coworker was teasing me about using Rogaine. She kept going on about 'fragile male ego' and such.

Years ago, during the real heyday of feminism, writer Asa Baber wrote about how men and women shouldn't be enemies in working for gender equality and inclusivity. We should be supporting and working with each other. Some people didn't get the memo, apparently. But it's really great to see people standing up for each other.

I'm not saying that it's okay for him to slap her and physically eject her from the store. But I love how her attitude changed the moment she realized that he was willing to hit her. She just got an education on why it's wise to treat your fellow humans with a bit of basic decency.

I have to agree with the other posters. According to the article, this was a definite abuse of power by the police and, while I'm unhappy that the police won't be held accountable, I think it's admirable that she pushed it as far as she did.

It seems like what she's saying is, "I was selfish and hurt someone I loved, then decided to compensate by being overly-selfless, but it turned out I was right the first time to be selfish."

Here's a fun little game to play: Try to find an article about this story that uses the words "assault" or "rape" in the headline. Because, according to the first page of Google results, "student sex case" is the harshest language I can find.

To be abundantly clear, here are some quotes from the article: The children's mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons It is understood the mother was never charged with abduction or other criminal offences. She's not in trouble for hurting her children or their father, she's in trouble for defying a court order. It's an important distinction.

This is a classic example of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

I don't know that I'd say that this is "Pussy Pass Denied", but I respect Ronda Rousey immensely for rejecting the media narrative, and for speaking her mind. I think it would be much easier and lucrative for her to go along with the leading questions and buy into the narrative of butthurt and offense. But she has the character to speak from her perspective and to reject the premise of the question when that premise is inaccurate or dumb.

There seems to be a big misunderstanding among the red pill weirdos that "pussypassdenied" means "hating women." The "pussy pass" is when a woman tries to gain special benefit by virtue of being a woman, OP. You just sound like a garden-variety, sadbrained, dickhead.

I wouldn't have used the metaphor of "you should have sex with him whenever he wants," because I think that's a different issue.

No, my initial argument was that, in this situation, the woman didn't get special treatment. Rather, she got exactly what she deserved. The man (Hogan) got screwed. If anything, it's the man being treated differently than the woman. But, that argument is largely moot as I explained in my initial comment's edit.

While I agree that it's unfair that Andrews gets a large settlement while Hogan gets nothing, I don't think it's a "pussy pass." "Pussy Pass" typically refers to women getting special treatment because of their gender. In this case, I feel that Andrews was treated fairly and received just compensation, while Hogan got screwed. EDIT: Having just read the description below, that she sued the hotel who, I have to agree, had no reason to suspect that the perpetrator was stalking Andrews, this might …

I do have a basis for calling you a liar: You clearly don't understand a basic tenet of law. I said that a man would be arrested for domestic abuse. You assumed that this meant that I was saying he had committed domestic abuse. This is a leap that someone who has studied law would never make, because it requires you to be completely unaware of the basic legal tenet of the presumption of innocence. Your initial statement indicates that arrest=guilt. Every law school in the western world, and most…

I realize that they skew to the bottom, but that's a function of the self reporting nature and the way the questions are asked. I'm sure that liberals would describe themselves as anti-authoritarian.

I was about to get pissed because the child had been moved into foster care rather than the father's custody.

It's not. But where women typically have strong support groups, men often feel the need to "soldier on," and to avoid expressing feelings and emotions. It's a well-documented issue, and it's one that we really need to start addressing as part of Men's Issues.

I have to disagree. I think that's how the tumblristas promote it, certainly. But I think that's a twisting of what was initially a noble cause. It's similar to the principle of states rights, which is a valid and perfectly reasonable philosophy, but was co-opted by segregationists and twisted to fit their purposes. Feminism isn't anti-male any more than masculanism and men's rights is anti-female, but the loudest and most visible advocates are the ones with ulterior and misplaced motives.

Far more than the women. A good example off the top of my head is in Pakistan and Bangladesh where women typically don't work, especially in rural areas. If the family falls on hard times financially, the women stop eating so that the men can continue to work.

Obviously the question of what it is that compels a person to commit rape is an important one and one that we haven't entirely answered yet as a society.
