And in fairness, he probably didn’t have any idea. In all those previous meetings, he probably stopped himself from greeting her, “Well, ain’t you a purty lady,” and then heard “blah blah blah,” until, “So sorry, we have to cut this short and get the Congressman to his next meeting.”

Why someone in his family? They might abhor his views and loathe him.

Fuck that, too. Why aren’t we holding men’s feet to the fire? Why aren’t we demanding that they care about something other than their fucking boners? We need to let go of this “blame white women” narrative. THAT is misogyny in action.

psst....they don’t care about processing any rape kits because nobody actually cares about rape victims.

Oh ok so its like how they are against abortion until they have one and its ok because of moral reasons

If your spouse keeps Fox News on all the time, it is hard to get any counter perspective.

Just world fallacy and internalized misogyny!

Wouldn’t it make MORE sense to process the ones in sanctuary cities? If the GOP narrative of raping and pillaging Mexicans (as opposed to quiet house cleaners and day laborers) is true, then surely all these rape kits would prove that?

Oh see they believe they won’t get raped because they’re Good Christian Women. They’re just living by the GOP motto of “I’ve got mine, so fuck you!”

Internalized misogyny or Stockholm syndrome or both?

Ooh, yes, let’s enable serial rapists to accumulate even more victims and never see punishment, this is an excellent political tool! But there’s no GOP war on women, no sir, not at all...

Yeah, these stations hire shock jocks but this guy is a bridge too far for them? Makes me think him pawing Swift was the last straw in long history of serious misconduct.

“I’ve played it over in my head so many times on how I wish I had reacted differently.” That’s a trauma response. When humans suffer trauma, they automatically replay the incident over and over again and try to figure out a way for it to come out differently. I’ve been a victim of some shitty things too and I’ve…

“What did you do to make him do that?”

Every woman everywhere all the time. And we’re supposed to be good sports about it.

I hate the groper that did that to you and I hate your ex. I hope they die in a fire and I’m sending you my solidarity and love.

When I was 22 I was in a crowded city plaza celebrating Independence Day, and men kept grabbing my boobs and crotch. At first I was in shock, thinking it was some kind of accident, but it kept happening again and again. Finally I started reaching down and digging my fingernails into their hands as hard as I could,…

I had almost this exact thing happen to me on my 21st birthday. I went to a bar (stone-cold sober! not that it fucking matters), was about to order a drink, and then I felt someone’s hand reach up my dress (a modest t-shirt dress, again, not that it fucking matters), grab my bare ass cheek, and give it a long, solid…

YES. I’m so happy that Taylor is not letting this go. She has millions of young female fans who will benefit from her example. She could have brushed it off as just another shitty thing women have to deal with, but it’s so great that she brought him to court. What a CREEP.

So true. Ugh.
