The "Jessica Valenti is a sublime troll" theory gathers strength:

You know you're in for a treat when the headline itself blandly assumes there was actually a rape in the first place.

In Social Justice circles, I believe this is referred to as "neglect rape".

I just hope this fundraiser doesn't take attention or donations away from Hensley's. She's only $65 away from her first stretch goal, you guys. Please. Give until it hurts...

I don't know what's funnier. The overall idea, the hipster glasses, or Carrier referring to himself as "world famous".

It's just a shame that the fairy tale features a wolf and not a weasel.

So... Carrier, PUA extraordinaire? I mean, it must take quit a large amount of magic (hi Steers) to pull that one off without being immediately trampled to death by the FTB SJW Squad. It's only a matter a time, and all it'll take is one figure (though it'll have to be female) calling him out. As so...

So, I discovered this film on Hulu last night called "Queens of The Ring". It's funny, well-written, about pro-wrestling, French, and includes Nathalie Baye in the cast.
