I used to think that weight was between a person and their doctor. Then I had sciatica about 10 years ago. My first neurology appointment the doctor shamed me for 45 minutes about how my weight was causing my sciatica. Fast forward 9 years and 50# lighter.... I still fucking have that sciatica and wish I could scream…

Funny, ‘cause I don’t remember US record labels having an issue with Ben Fold’s “Whatever and Ever Amen” having “Brick” on it in 1997. Or giving that single a fuckton of airplay.

In my youth, I pitched hay bales and shoveled shit and detassled corn fields. It’s honest work, and nothing to be ashamed of, but it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any to watch these shitheels spend a couple of years at it.

I mean, in a terrible sense his fans are some of the worst people to piss off, because he’s spent a career endearing himself to the worst of the GamerGate crowd by saying that he’s both one of them, and that he exists to represent their views to geek culture icons and celebrities.

I only knew him as one of Wil Wheaton’s friends on his Tabletop series, but then I started watching @midnight which I LOVED. Him turning out to be a giant piece of shit like an ex of mine was honestly a huge blow.

So the usual display of “progressives” who only care so much as they don’t have to sacrifice anything for their supposed beliefs, even if it’s just a poxy aftershow to a pretty fucking shit zombie show.

I’m looking at judicial clerkships right now and I was told recently that I “should be fine” to clerk for a particular guy because I “don’t give off the impression” I’d “put up with it.”

This is one of the biggest problems women face - the idea that as long as they don’t “put up with any inappropriate behaviour”, nothing bad will happen to them. Ergo, any woman who gets harassed or assaulted MUST have inadvertently or deliberately encouraged the man.

“A source said that Chua quickly responded, saying that her own daughter would not put up with any inappropriate behaviour.”

WHERE IS THE LIE

Wtf. How the fuck is he not a registered sex offender??? This is rage inducing.

Film reimagining: A 12 hour period wherein women get revenge on the men who hurt them and they won’t be charged for it: the purge

The victim, as far as I can tell, was simply asking for anonymity... not for the story to be kept secret.  If she didn’t want her story out, what would be the point of sending it to Feinstein?

Don’t ever forget that Dianne Feinstein voted against a provision that would have allowed same-sex couples to share health benefits in the midst of the AIDS crisis; don’t forget Dianne Feinstein ordered the closing of San Francisco’s bath houses and actively worked against all of Harvey Milk’s progress toward LGBQT…

Yeah, I’m a Canadian and followed it pretty closely. He was definitely known as an asshole prior to 2014. If you listen to stories from people around him he was a controlling piece of shit for a long, long time and was tolerated because CBC thought he was their “star.”

I read the article I am convinced Gomeshi is a sociopath. Seriously that guy isn’t normal. I followed his trial (I’m a Canadian from Toronto so it was kind of big news) and his legal team never once tried an “innocence” defense, it was totally a tear down of the accusers by his legal time. I mean normal people don’t…

Thank you. The fact that she doesn’t think anything about her statements are disturbing even after 25 years is sadly and painfully telling.  

Not to mention that the chores seem terrible for affluent kids, but not all kids. Many kids are given responsibilities of cleaning and homemaking as a part of the family unit.

Their entire “love story” is a textbook case of grooming. If her claims of abuse by Mia are true, far from discrediting the idea that he groomed Soon-Yi, it would have made her a more likely target. Abusers will often pose as “saviors” to get troubled children to trust them. He’s scum.

Jesus. He groomed her. It's as clear as day. After reading those excerpts (I'd really rather not give the article a page view), I can't see how anyone could doubt Dylan Farrow's story.
