I agree with you but also wonder if Takei meant that he believes sexual assault is defined by abuser seeking the thrill of exerting dominance over another. The implication is that if your motivation is purely sexual then it’s ok. If that’s correct I actually sort of understand where he is coming from and why he may…

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.
Of course not. He is her delicate baby boy.
Seriously?! Not just all of this ridiculousness, but you DIDN’T GO WITH YOUR WIFE WHEN SHE WAS COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS?!?! How many Superbowls did you make her sit through? She literally competes one week every four years. WTF?
I don’t know who killed this family (mom or dad), but I can speak to the UNBELIEVABLE stress that a serious, long term illness can bring to the family. Unless you have been through it it is impossible to verbalize the effects.
You can make good choices and then have a crises happen that changes you and/or your partner. I think better healthcare could have helped them, but who knows.
It drives me up the wall. I had things like reduced lunch as a kid, and now, guess what? I am a college-educated citizen with a job, who pays taxes, contributes to society, and serves in the military. You know what would have made all that impossible? Not being able to think in school because I was so hungry. So for…
THIS IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVERY ARGUMENT I’VE HAD THIS ELECTION SEASON. CONSERVATIVES / TRUMP SUPPORTERS / REPUBLICANS TWISTING WORDS AND DERAILING THE CONVERSATION AND SAYING SHIT LIKE “WELL YOU SAID” “YOU BROUGHT IT UP” AND OMG I’M SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT I’M FUCKING SICK OF IT.
Yes, I’m not sure what the shaming surrounding people utilizing social programs designed to level the playing field/provide needed support is. Can’t bootstrap if you have no shoes.
Even if he was an affirmative action admission all it would prove is that affirmative action kicks ass and is worth the investment, because we got Barack Freaking Obama out of it.
The title made it sound like she was causing trouble on the flight. Instead it seems like something terrible happened to her.
this right here - bruises are not the indicator of if abuse happened. I had my ex break my fucking arm. i had a friend fix it for me (she’s a nurse) but the amount of people saying, “but we weren’t there” just pisses me off. dude, i can get an xray and show what was done but most of the abuse was never anything…
Hang on everybody. I think we’re forgetting the real victim here...Disney.
She thought David Gest was dead because he was sick in bed, and later left the show for health reasons. So it actually made sense.
Ow! Ow! The awfulness of this writing! It burns! It burns!
I have never worked at an office where this would not apply.
I’ve had good experiences with nurses and bad experiences with nurses. None as bad as this though.
The phrase “toxic work environment” was practically invented for hospitals.
