Buster Posey's Injury: Even Worse than You Might Think →

“You want analysis? The Giants will replace an All-Star catcher with a scrub, and it will cost them some wins.
But that’s not why most Giants fans feel nauseous right now. Giants fans were in love with Buster Posey.”
“There will never be a perfect storm like this again: Posey is a guy who helped break an organizational drought for hitters and championships, he played a position that the fans were repeatedly told was almost impossible to do well, and he is possibly the most likable personality on the team, combining perfect amounts of seriousness and charm in a goofy clubhouse.”
“
All kinds of women are the victims of sexual assault. Sex workers. Nuns. College students. Little girls. Old women. Women who have had no sexual partners and women who have had 100. Women who are walking alone at night and women who thought they were safe in their own beds. Women who wear headscarves and women who wear miniskirts.
Very few men, on the other hand, are rapists, but the small number who are tend to sexually assault a lot of women.
So why are we so interested in what a victim did, or what she looks like, or what her sexual history is? None of that makes her more or less likely to be assaulted. The scary truth is that women are raped because they had the bad luck of being stuck in a room with a rapist.
” —Jill Filipovic, Writing for The Daily. It’s a good summary of some of the problems with a lot of rape coverage, so check out the rest of it.
