It was a 'massive' problem? cite statistics

The power of "bitter/jealous" women to ruin the good names of "innocent" men knows no bounds when you find yourself in the unenviable position of having potentially supported an unrepentant pedophile.

I'm just going to keep posting these links:

People are willing to do such amazing feats of mental gymnastics in order to dismiss the claims of women who are open about their experiences with sexual abuse. It would be amusing if it weren't so rage inducing, vomit inducing, and heartbreaking.

I notice he completely leaves out the investigation done by people who were not paid by Woody Allen who came to a very different conclusion. Shocking.

But "soft, pale, and sweet" is kind of why it's not cute. It's overvaluing childlike, yielding simplicity. And whiteness.

I don't think there's anything left for me to say here. You want to cling to this idea that maybe, just maybe, Woody Allen's innocent. I don't see how it's any different from Stephen King saying he hopes the allegations aren't true. Like it's somehow preferable that this woman is just delusional or has implanted…

You know, aren't we? How is this any different than actors who choose to work with Roman Polanski and lionize him at awards shows and gush about how great he is? It's not, really, not if you're Dylan Farrow. We go see the movies these men make, we put more money in their pockets, we help them get Oscars and Golden…

To my mind, there's only one actress who should ever be used to illustrate a story about Jane Austen. Team Ehle, 4-ever.

That Daily Beast article was so slut-shamey and victim-blamey that any relevant or important information it might have included is lost on me. I had no opinion before (mostly because I, as a random person who has no insider information, don't really have a right to weigh in and I don't get why everyone thinks they do)…

And you consistently miss that because mental illness is so stimatized, people struggling with it often self medicate.

To say your sister's death is stupid is not the same thing as saying that she was stupid.

This is the reason I made a distinction between those who have the freedom to choose their projects and those who don't have the freedom to choose who they work for. There is a big fucking difference between being Scarlett Johansson with limitless possibilities for what roles she can take, and a broke 19-year-old…

My own case was looked into when I was a child, and plenty of people found reason to disbelieve and discredit it. You have to be extremely careful when you "add an aspect of the history to the news story" when it echoes a larger public narrative that's overwhelmingly sympathetic to Woody Allen. Frankly, I do think it…

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for this. Dylan's story is extremely similar to my own, and it makes me feel sick to see so many commenters saying "now, now, we don't know for sure; innocent until proven guilty" as though this is a court case. Especially since abusers tend to be very, very, very good at coming across as…

It's Luna and Neville

"Devil's advocate isn't necessary in every situation. It would be nice if the molested child had more advocates. This is why victims don't speak out."

The parts of his personal life that he admits to proudly are profoundly disturbing. That there are worse parts he won't admit to is not surprising to me. I make it a point every time someone mentions Woody Allen to bring up his marriage; the rationalization from people I view as smart and empathetic is so upsetting.…

Why would you do that to a rotisserie chicken? Rotisserie chicken doesn't deserve that!

Buffalo Chicken Dip originated with the same brain trust that mixes up prepackaged 'thin-sliced corned beef ' with 'swiss cheese food' and sauerkraut in a goddamned crock pot and calls that shit 'reuben dip'.
