SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion) II: Rape Isn't On My Calendar

there's a non-white background option? o.O wat

Yes. Though I love the professional color look of the blue+white. The black background could use some tweaking to make it look nicer.

Not in this country there isn't. Make BG great again!

Only flaw of the black/grey format is if you try to use the search box, you pretty much can't see what you're typing in because they forgot to tweak that field or something.

You're terrible for using inferior page settings

Changing settings sounds like too much work... kind of like back reading

BOCA RATON — Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens on Thursday said that high court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, who Stevens once lauded in one of his books, does not belong on the Supreme Court.

Speaking to a crowd of retirees in Boca Raton, Stevens, 98, said Kavanaugh’s performance during a recent Senate confirmation hearing suggested that he lacks the temperament for the job.

That's really all I got from it. You don't have to be emotionless when doing your job, just know when and where.

The authors assumptions, regarding a should-be gender neutral culture by the CDCs definition of rape, is not supported by any data whatsoever. I'll be happy to provide some metaanalysis on it, but I'm laying in bed and I don't have access to my research.

This Cathy Young, this author in particular, a paid presenter by the Independent Women's Forum, a conservative non-profit with high political motivations considering this study was released in the Obama presidency. This is who you point to as someone who heavily criticized the data?

Assumptions in this article are that by wording a question in such a way that respondents are more comfortable reporting the affirmative, it could lead to false reporting. With no evidence to back that claim. And plenty of evidence suggesting underreporting of rapes when questioned. That's a nonsensical assumption on her part.

She also assumes respondents will get confused about incapacitated rape because the surveryor has to clearly lay out the definition, but the respondent may get lost when the question is asked and simply answer in the affirmative. Again, without evidence.

Then she completely glosses over other studies that show similar numbers. So, when you tell me the numbers are "heavily criticized" and back that up with an opinion peice by a paid conservative writer that did no research on her own, you can take that shit to the door. I'll take the data of multiple studies by independent researchers over a conservative mouthpeice funded by a group founded on providing a conservative alternative to feminist tenats. You used to be better guartz.

Senators don't write their own letters.

But they do attend their daughter's weddings, like Steve Daines is planning on doing the day the vote is scheduled so McConnell will either have to postpone the vote or risk being a man down.
