But actual rapists, men who are usually known to (and often loved by) their victims? Men who are sometimes our sports heroes, political leaders, buddies, boyfriends and fathers? Evidence suggests we don't despise them nearly as much as we should.

Given the realities of the U.S. criminal justice system, the prosecution may be unable to salvage this case. But just because that system fails victims on the regular doesn't mean we have to, too. French commentators are already calling for DSK to jump back into the country's presidential race and ride a wave of sympathy into office. Really, theÂ stakes are greater than even that political prize.Â If we accept the narrative that only perfect women are raped, we risk sacrificing justice not only for this woman, but for victims of sexual assault everywhere.Â After all, nobody's perfect.

Feminism is what I do with my life, itâ€™s how I spend my days, itâ€™s my job, itâ€™s not just an opinion I have among many other opinions.

I want a future where women and girls get to be the subject of their own sexuality, not the object of somebody elseâ€™s. That we are the main characters in our own play, not props in somebody elseâ€™sâ€”which is how womenâ€™s sexuality is treated now. Whatever the outside attitudes about sexuality itâ€™s always about somebodyâ€™s agenda for us, and I want a world where we can have our own.

It just never occurred to me that a schoolâ€™s policy and student culture could make a big difference in the way I would experience my body while on campus. I didnâ€™t think there was anything to choose about a sexual culture. Iâ€™d only ever known the one I grew up in. But it did matter, and in ways I wouldnâ€™t have even predicted.

Spiritual master is representative of God. Similarly, king is also representative of God. The father is also representative of God. These are the statements of the sastras. Because they will guide. The king will guide. The spiritual master will guide. The father will guide. What is that guidance? That guidance is how one can become Krishna Conscious by education, by culture.
I think about how truly interesting and odd it is that when a woman marries, traditionally she loses her name, becoming absorbed by the husband's family name - she is in effect lost, evaporated from all records under her maiden name. I finally understand the anger behind feminism - the idea that as a woman you are property to be conveyed between your father and your husband, but never an individual who exists independently. And on the flip side, it is also one of the few ways one can legitimately get lost - no one questions it.
Roxy Sorkin, your father just won the Academy Award. I'm going to have to insist on some respect from your guinea pig.
My father loved biographies. He loved the true tales of interesting people that were shaping our culture. I get why he dug Vanity Fair. You feel smarter, somehow, for reading it.
There is no merit where there is no trial; and till experience stamps the mark of strength, cowards may pass for heroes, and faith for falsehood.
I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I'm a character actor.
My resting pulse as a writer is writing idealistically and romantically; aspirationally. My taste lies in quixotic heroes.
