Do you feel that way about grocery stores, movie theaters, and gas stations, too, or just retail stores?

For me, the worst of it is the people hand-wringing over retail employees not getting to spend the holidays with their faaaaaaaamily. What about waitstaff, gas station staff, grocery store staff, and movie theater staff? Do they not have families?

I’m very annoyed with the sentiments about closing retail shops on Thanksgiving because no one cares about going to the movies, or the grocery store, or stopping for gas.

Okay that’s one of my biggest pet peeves. I worked at a movie theater throughout high school and college, and no one gave a flying fuck about us being open. It was the busiest day of the year, even. Why should grocery store clerks and gas stations have to suffer, if we think nothing should be open?

Actually, demanding those on our side who are not rapists and pedophiles to resign for crude behavior will 100% not “raise the bar”. What it will do is enable Republicans to fill those positions, though, and make things worse for all women.

She helped to fund his defense. That makes her culpable to me.

Which would have made him look guilty AF.

Wow. That is such an amazingly awful and inappropriate thing to suggest.

Eh, actual Muslim women have spoken out about this, too. It’s very silly to claim that no Muslim woman has complained about sexist. Also, not accurate.

The system is biased against women, from the very moment they report. How is that “due process”? Or do the rights of accused men trump the rights of women who are victims?

In all fairness, we know that, inherently, men are more trustworthy than women. It’s just like, science.

It’s the funny thing about defamation. If you did it, it’s not defamation. He wasn’t going to win that case. According to some of the other commenters here, at least 8 women came forward to report that he abused them.

Do we live in a world where women who prey upon young children are not dealt with to the fullest extent of the law?

It’s because Oberst was 1.) clearly not guilty, 2.) was going to donate any lawsuit proceeds to nonprofits that assist women victims of violence, and 3.) also didn’t use the opportunity to call all women lying whores and bitches.

Wow. You immediately jump to assuming that the women were lying, and that he was merely leering at them?

There isn’t really a distinction between “slander” and “libel” anymore. It’s all under the defamation umbrella now.

Did she at least get razzed?

Honestly, no. Because he’s acting like a rapist and trying to use intimidation to silence women for speaking out against him. Many other men have used these same techniques, and the overwhelming majority of them are actually rapists!

No, he’s incredibly wrong. I’m so fucking sick of overprivileged white men deciding how rape should be handled, when they’re doing most of the raping.

It’s easy, if you think about it: men will never be raped, but they might be accused, so they have to support each other from those lying whores!
