Good god, you cant have something so obviously female in my trash. People will think that I am feminine...and feminine means bad. This is why I can never buy tampons in the grocery store, even though no one ever thinks they are for me, they may get their girl cooties on me and I will lose my entire sense of self. It…

Okay now that is some world class bullshit.

This is an excellent article. Just a side note, although I don’t think a punch in the balls is the same as ass slapping, that Tom guy clearly had it coming.

Summary:

Wouldn’t it also have to openly state that calling someone autistic is disparaging? It’s not an insult.

Well I guess we now know what her anti cyberbullying efforts will be focused on; people having opinions about her or her family. Has anyone told her that autistic is not an insult.

I hope he does well too, but to me that means failing at everything he said he would do. If he manages to do the exact opposite of everything he proposed, than I will declare it success.

Beautifully written piece. Thank you and all of the Jezebel staff for lifting their voices. As we head into disaster we will need it even more.

The problem is that she did not make it clear that she was comparing it to planned parenthood. Her first post really looks like she is saying that what he says is Great. she did not mention Planned Parenthood in that post and the quote itself is a guide to fooling the masses. I might add that it describes a behavior…

I saw a show once where the host took the moon hoaxers to a telescope pointed at the moon and showing them the stuff that we actually left up there. (apparently we left a bunch of stuff) and the guests just claimed that they were using fake photography and one guy said that it did not count because they did not use…

Well that is consistent with other sexual predators. They tend to seek out people who have been traumatized in the past. They look for vulnerability. He has provided insight only into how the predators view themselves. He thinks victims are sexy because vulnerability makes them easier to coerce and thus “good in bed”

I assume it will be some kind of character assault. He wont address their allegations, but reveal something “bad” about his accusers and fail to logically link that bad thing to whether or not the allegations are true.

Wait, wouldn’t sketchy testimony benefit the defendant? Sounds like bullshit to me.

I am toying with a completely speculative idea. What if she is totally against him and has been kept under wraps. When she sets up a profile with NYT the fam makes sure she says nothing and everyone keeps to the party line. So the she send the tax returns. Thoughts? Any conspiracy nuts ready to jump on this one?

You know. As a man I can add that this kind of bullshit hurts us as well. Its a given that it is worse for women, but think about what this attitude means for men. God forbid a man want to take time to be with his children right after their birth. I have worked places where the attitude was that women were assumed…

I know you are going for irony, but I think you exactly codified the conservative position.

I don’t know “Love scenes are extremely difficult. You’re always within a millimeter of sentimentality and “yuck.”” could be read as they are hard to perform without going into silliness or cheesiness. The rest is just confessing an exhibitionist streak.

basically its forced sexual activity with any orifice that is not the vagina. It might be a heavier charge of the forcible penetration.

I agree with you completely. When I mentioned male initiated activity, I had not considered people who go with dick picks as a first move. I was mostly thinking about the “ Hey there” kind of approach.

I actually wondered if he meant it like taking her virginity, which is a whole new level of concern
