    “My tendency is to believe people. My default mode is you are probably telling the truth.

    I have a finely tuned bullshit detector and when it goes off I pay close attention because it doesn’t tend to go off without a reason. I’m not a person who assumes that everything is bullshit. If something strikes me as being off I tend to question more deeply about that thing.”

    Non-college women of college age are 1.7 times more likely to be victimized than college women:

    Well, you posted the wrong link, but fuck, the Yankees really let Robertson get away?
     
  6. I guess it was bound to happen ... Some dickhead outed "Jackie."

    Edit: Buried in this: Johnson has allegedly uncovered Jackie's previous claim of being raped. He's got a Twitter pick of her at a Rape rally in 2011 holding a sign claiming to have been raped. ... I think that's further proof Erdely failed - probably willingly - to review her subject.

    A claim he has already retracted and apologized for after people pointed out it was not her.

    The Johnson stuff is unbelievable. He's making a huge deal out of the fact that she's "obsessed with rape," and has a lot of rape-related pictures and memes pinned on Pinterest.

    Hmmmm ... what kind of person might develop rape prevention and survivor advocacy as a cause? ... Hmmm ...

    Oh, I know! A FUCKING RAPE SURVIVOR.

    Clearly Johnson's editors and fact checkers failed him.
     
  11. I missed that!

    Jesus ... nice. fucking nice.
