I too hate censorship. Why won’t HarperCollins publish my manuscript? CENSORS!!!

Kudos. Good satire.

Yeah, not so much. Marginalized folks who had enormous barriers to organizing before social media became endemic to public life have infinitely more tools now as a result of it ... so until such time as people are ready to come up with a better low-cost alternative to those people I’m not sure coming down hard on the…

We can only hope.

It's a shame the President doesn't have a staff, maybe a Secretary, who would meet with the media, even the Press, for briefings on a daily basis. Like every other president in modern history. 

One can only hope.

Fuck Twitter. It’s a stain on human existence. 

It’s official.

Just more spineless posturing by another party holding the bag for Dolt 45 so they can later claim “see how we stood up to him when” ... Oh we can see all right.

Sooner or later, Twitter will find itself in a Trump-fueled lawsuit for defamation or libel, and this exception to the rule will be rewritten very quickly.

Thank you. I am sure I am one of millions of women who feel rejected after trying to stick up for herself. Maybe we could all come together to form an insulated world where people actually have to pay the price for their shitty behaviour. 

Stories like these make my brain explode from the anger I still feel inside. I’m sorry that happened to you and it was not fair, not by any means.

Personally, I hid the details of my intimate abuse from all but a single friend, who ended up being the one who helped me escape. I felt mortified that I was ever with him and of course, concerned about what he might do to the next woman.

I was assaulted by my roommate (not a relationship, thank god) and subsequently lost my apartment and my job. It’s a terrible thing to go through and I still suffer a bit of PTSD from it, over 2 years later.

Once a week I write a diary entry or essay about how lost I feel after coming forward from abuse I was being put through at my job and was subsequently fired from while the jerk, who they chuckled at his behavior, was allowed to stay on. It ruined my brain. I truly don’t know why I want to work anywhere or engage with…

I think different types of personalities handle it differently. Some women feel the need to out their abusers publicly, to have it be known, to warn others, and for the satisfaction of publicly shaming their abusers. Other people are more private by nature and don’t want to go public not out of concern for their…

Thank you for your words. I’ve had great therapy and it’s been about 5 years. I still have ptsd episodes but they become less and less. I’m healing a lot and in a healthy relationship now that work I really hard to maintain. 

I lived through a DV situation and was in the public eye. I could have spoken out about it and was pushed to do so by reporters. I couldn’t do it. I was not in a good place and I knew I wasn’t strong enough to withstand the public scrutiny. Speaking out does not mean healing. It opens you up for secondary violations…

I’m really sorry you had to live through that. I know it’s only too easy to say, but the shame is his, not yours. I’m glad you were able to get out. Wishing you peace.

I grapple all the time with wanting to speak out about the twisted psychological, mental and sexual abuse I faced from my ex husband. I want everyone to know who he is. I want others to be wary of him. He’s a true blue psychopath and I worry where it could escalate for other women in the future. On the other hand I…
