Jezebel: Rapists 'Explain' Themselves on Reddit... →
Trigger warning: Rape and sexual assault A disturbing and disgusting subreddit has been doing the rounds recently with threads by rapists, would-be rapists and the perpetrators of assault ‘explaining’ themselves and their motives - as though they deserve to be understood and sympathized with for their horrendous crimes! The subreddit should be closed down immediately as all it is...

Should I ever move to America, I know where my charitable donations won’t be going.

Jezebel: Let’s Not Blame the Aurora Shootings on... →
Following the tragedy of the Aurora shootings and the fatalities to follow, the media and its public have, naturally, inquired and attempted to envelope themselves in the world of James Holmes in the hopes of better understanding how and why the young man could murder so many and damage countless others. One surprising response from the media frenzy includes headlines such as: ‘Holmes...
