Sallie Ann Harrison’s younger sister was sexually assaulted by her grandmother’s neighbor. Confused and angered at her community’s complacency over the issue, Harrison formed Gainesville’s first rape-crisis center.
When the neighbors heard her screaming, they thought it was just another stray cat.
Lee Alexander McQueen was more than a fashion designer. He was an artist who used the human body and fabrics as his canvas and treated fashion shows as theatrical performances. As head designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, he brought fantasy, abnormality, romance and darkness to the fashion world. Now, after his death on Feb. 11, the question is, what will happen to his brand? Can anyone take over and do what he did, or should his line be put to rest with memories of its greatness being the only remains?
January was a sad month for equality. Hatred and callousness have shown themselves all over the world. In case you’ve forgotten the examples of that, let the Editorial Board give you a recap of the highlights of Dismal January.
As long as I can remember, we have had terrible political divisions in our country. The only time Democrats and Republicans seem able to work together are in times of crisis, like after the attacks of Sept. 11 or Pearl Harbor. The politics of our country, specifically of Congress, are inherently wrong and against what Americans want.
Beer: “Old Rasputin”
We’re all familiar with the classic celebrity catastrophe: Celeb is clean-cut. Celeb makes fatal mistake. Celeb apologizes. But what comes after that is a bit hazy. As the adoring fans, we either hold our grudges until the celeb morphs into a has-been, or we forgive and forget. I’m here today to make a case for a current crossroads the public has arrived at: Either forgive Chris Brown or condemn him to Pop Culture Hell.
Former Gainesville Police Department Officer David Reveille was sentenced to two years in prison Friday for using his position to solicit sexual favors from prostitutes while on duty.
Saoirse Ronan isn’t like her peers. She doesn’t have a fragrance or clothing line, and she isn’t among the teeny bopper, triple-threat, overnight sensations that Disney produces.
UPD's Rape Aggression Defense class teaches women self defense.
This is in response to Desi Krell’s letter to the editor on Friday, “T-shirt displays offensive messages.” As a supporter of feminist causes, I’m a little more than embarrassed to see that you’ve chosen an establishment that is so non-threatening toward women to attack and boycott. The T-shirt in question shows a woman wearing underwear, which you failed to mention, implying that she was nude. You also completely ignore the fact that the shirt is mocking tentacle porn, which was created in Japan.
On Tuesday night, The Laboratory, a local bar/cafe on University Avenue, unveiled its new promotional T-shirts. One of the T-shirt designs was offensive and misogynistic, portraying a woman’s buttocks (her face was not shown) as she was entangled in tentacles. The accompanying caption read, “The Laboratory: more fun than a night in Japan!”
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Support the troops.
Three South Florida teenagers who stand accused of setting another teen on fire will be charged as adults, according to the Associated Press. Denver Jarvis and Matthew Bent, both 15, and Jesus Mendez, 16, were charged with one count each of attempted second-degree murder on Monday.
In response to Wednesday's letter to the editor written by James G., you failed to understand an important point, James. I agree with you that Paul's claim of racism in regard to Joe Wilson's remarks is unfounded and silly. I also agree that Paul's slander of the Republican Party in reference to ACORN was unjustified. But when it comes to the issue of Republicans being rapists for not passing "some bill," you showed a complete lack of knowledge about the subject.
This is in response to Paul Murty's article on Monday that could only be described as a "slaughter of logic." Paul, your article was nothing short of a biased attempt to prove that the Republicans are all evil, racist Halliburton employees who rape women. I am not kidding. At one point in your article, you somehow deduce that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson was a racist for saying "you lie" to Obama.
Attention Republicans in Congress:
For an off-year election, Nov. 3 is shaping up to be pretty interesting day at the polls.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was the topic of interest Thursday when UF's Pro-Life Alliance held a demonstration on the Plaza of the Americas.
