For those victim to it, the grotesque fact of racism is difficult to overstate. In furtive glances, tightened chests and cracked bones, it asserts itself with lethal, overwhelming force.
Step aside, Nike shorts and Chaco shoes. The must-have fashion trend this fall? Feminism. Well, kind of.
The film’s opening shot gives the viewer a glimpse into what they’re getting themselves into. It serves as a forewarning that watching “Mother!” is not going to be easy, not in the slightest. Darren Aronofsky’s previous films, including “The Wrestler” and “Black Swan,” are child’s play in comparison to his latest creation.
A student was arrested Wednesday afternoon for raping a woman at a party in a house near the UF Levin College of Law, Gainesville Police said.
Earlier this month, community leaders collaborated to lend support and solidarity at the Alachua County Victim Services & Rape Crisis Center’s second annual community outreach meeting.
Every meat-eating person knows one harsh truth: We don’t care how the sausage is made, and we prefer not to know. As long as the brats are delicious, who the hell cares?
After a nearly daylong search, police found and arrested a man for attempting to rape a young Gainesville woman inside her apartment after he forced his way through her front door Tuesday night.
Nick McMillen has become a better person by being a counselor for the Alachua County Victim Services and Rape Crisis Center, or at least his wife thinks so.
There’s an ailment afflicting young people today. It’s not a disease or a behavioral epidemic, but an idea. It is an idea that affects our entire approach to intimacy. It stems from our phobia of discomfort, of appearing foolish or being declined. It is the idea that there exists such a thing as a “right moment.” Allow me to elaborate.
About 300 UF students signed a pledge Monday to recognize that non-consensual sex is considered sexual assault.
During Ben Shapiro’s speech on April 3, he criticized the term ‘rape culture’ as a slur against men. I was one of the “idiot protestors” at his event and specifically made my sign, which read “Stop Rape Culture,” for the talk. A sharp commentator who enlivens audiences with audacious statements on controversial issues, Shapiro tried to undermine the very real problem of sexual assault for college students, while blaming rape victims who do not report the crimes for helping to keep rapists out of jails. I address the problems with Shapiro’s claims, not only because they are potentially dangerous, but also to illustrate the often tenuous foundations of his fast “facts.”
Their stories were all different.
Clarification: About 750 supporters and 25 protestors were at the University Auditorium
Members of the audience hold individual signs that read altogether "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings," a phrase commonly used by Ben Shapiro, before he made his appearance on stage. Throughout his speech, Shapiro outlined his views on intersectional hierarchy and rape culture.

Everybody makes mistakes, but not everybody gets to be Student Body president. The way some people have responded (or not responded, if affiliated with Student Government) has been a disappointment. Let’s put the facts revealed by the arrest video out there, plain and clear: not only did Smith try to steal and damage multiple motorcycles, but he also appears to have punched a witness before running away and apparently also performed a poor carjacking attempt. Smith was trying to drive, and had Smith been able to get a vehicle running, he would have undoubtedly been a deadly threat to everyone around him and himself. Drunk driving is no joke and there is no shortage of personal tragedies out there to remind us of that. In Smith’s recorded words, however, “it’s not my fault.”
It’s tempting to dismiss human trafficking as the shooting star of the criminal underworld — a series of one-off stories that evince a problem afflicting only a handful of the unluckiest people, inevitable tragedies like Ariel Castro’s decadelong capture of three young women. But the reality is that human trafficking is a global, multibillion dollar industry with branches that twist and burrow in our own communities, around our own friends, siblings and children.
