Yes. Apparently he was fiddling dudes all over that set.

Safe to say Men are trash, and men that are in positions of power are super trash.

Big Baller Brand is going to have a pop-up shop here in Hong Kong on Nov. 14th at Juice. Chance to get out and meet Lavar, Gelo, and Melo for anyone that's interested.

Impressive win for GSP tonight. Coming back after a 4 year layoff to take the belt from Bisping was no easy task. One word...... respect.

Wow. pretty interesting take.

Power and the corruption it is connected to is the issue.... not the sex of the people in power. Remove the power and 98% of this stuff goes with it regardless of the gender of the people in power.

Who are mostly in power? Men.

Eggs and chickens. Power corrupts everyone. Look to history to see that it doesn't know genders.

I think you'll find that increased testosterone levels leads to increased sexual aggression (in addition to all the other metabolic stuff).

Sure women in power can get just as rapey, but men statistically provide the majority of assaults for a reason.

Two sides to that coin, men also significantly underreport sex assaults due to fear of losing their masculinity and showing vulnerability.

Winter has arrived. Busted out the old bathrobe and moccasins, all I need is a blunt and a white Russian to feel like the dude.

As with all statistics it depends on how you query the data. Looking at anything in statistics (or life for that matter) from the view of gender, gender identity, religion or race/skin color is something that should be done after sorting for determining factors. I explicitly do not think a person's gender is a determining factor in sexual assault just as I don't believe skin color determines one's intelligence.

Over 150 female school teachers have been caught having intercourse with male and female students under the age of 18 in the last 3 years. These are the ones that have been reported in some manner. Many more of these are taken care of at the "administrative" level to protect the kids and are rarely reported as a sex crime. This has been one of the less well kept secrets in our public school systems for decades. So, are Women the problem or School Teachers? Or is there maybe a little more complicated than that?

If you going to walk on them, get some knee pads.

Seriously can't believe not one player moved a finger to help their coach... That dude must have been absolutely hated.

Well the UCLA players press conference removes any doubt on if they actually stole something... lol
