The Fraser story of having a man grope him is so specific, and told with such squirming discomfort and embarrassment, that it’s kind of hard not to believe. It seems to have had a profound effect on someone who was feeling vulnerable, and that’s a hallmark of assault - the kind we have long expected women to just…

If by ‘audience’ you mean potential voters who are inspired to actually register and vote, or people who decide to run for office and effect real change, then yes.
Exactly. Behind that dead-eyed stare isn’t shame, it’s someone wondering silently whether he can ask for a larger contribution next time, or whether he should retire, or what he wants to have for dinner.
Not diminishing the importance of what these people are saying and doing - it’s crucial - we just can’t expect any…
I dunno. Not to be a killjoy - It’s terrific seeing people speak truth and stand up to these soulless minions of Mammon. But the fact is, they are soulless minions. They can’t be shamed because they are in their positions for the very reason that they rose to the top of the dung heap through total lack of shame…
At least I was spared that kind of ‘presidential’ language, though. Yikes.
Yep, that sounds like it could have been my dad. I am sure your thigh-toucher thought you were super into him - my dad still tells me how much all the young ‘gals’ flirt with him, and he’s over 75 now.
And when I say young ‘gals’, I mean women under 30. The older ones don’t interest him.
“Why is that? Did they ask? Did their parents tell?”
Seriously, there were times I could not shut my dad up about his conquests, as if the litany was some badge of honor I was expected to tell my teen and college girlfriends as a recommendation for my hot dad (I had to forbid him from seducing my friends, and he…
The story about Kim Cattrall, replete with a source close to SJP talking about planned retaliation for a rebuffed condolence posted on online media following a death, make me miss old-school blind items and the 50s era mystery of celebrity cat fights. This is just a bummer TMI on every level, and I can only imagine a…
White women have to teach white women. No one else is going to do the heavy lifting. It feels like we are stuck between a rock and a hard place mainly because when one’s own privilege starts being revealed, it can feel like oppression. You know how frustrating it is to try and explain ‘mansplaining’ to that guy you…
FFS. I didn’t mean that workouts or exercise aren’t necessary for health, and that good health doesn’t make for better sex.
Young ones, I am at a loss. If this subtle nonsense feels good and makes you happy and your muscles strong, then good for you. Muscle strength is good.
Dude, don’t summon the storm! We don’t ask questions like that lest they be answered.
Oh, man. This is such a bummer. Far too young, so talented. I had really hoped 2018 wouldn’t try to live up to 2017's shittiness.
Okay, I am really late to this discussion, but for anyone still looking:
We happen to have a fairly large collection of 19th century wine, champagne, cordial and absinthe glasses gathered in Europe over many years. (They used to be relatively cheap in the 80s and early 90s, when they were completely out of fashion and…
Ironic that someone so opposed to science will probably be a strong contender for the annual Darwin Award.
This. Having been attacked more than once (unfortunately), knowing self-defence basics saved me. A solid blow to the solar plexus, a decisive heel to the top of the attacker’s foot, an unhesitating elbow jab to the rib cage, knowing how to break a stranglehold - these were what got me out of bad situations, not the…
I know, sarcasm - but it wasn’t that his wife was 37. The marriage lasted 37 years before she died. That’s a pretty long time, and the old fellow never remarried. This behavior might be one reason why.
You’re fighting the good fight here, but this site has been inundated lately with posters like the one above, who just come to stir shit and do a more subtle form of fact-trolling - they’ll engage as long as you do, and post Opposite Land BS until their moms call them for dinner. Rile them with a Hillary gif, and then…
Including the rehab stints...
