We, as liberals, seek redemption in the criminal population at large. We highly scrutinize the behavior of the police when they are accusing someone of a crime. We don’t believe in the death penalty. We are against excessive sentencing. And all of that goes out the window when we learn about a crime or bad behavior of…

Yes! None of us have a responsibility to fix men and their shitty behavior. We do have a responsibility to ourselves, to do what we can to be safe and not be empowered to reduce the liklihood of being victims (clearly, if someone is going to make you a victim, they will) but in this situation, and in yours, bailing…

This isn’t an all or nothing proposition here. You can seek to empower women to extract themselves from situations in which they are not comfortable while laying the blame on the men. The problem is that getting there is a difficult line to walk without lapsing into victim blaming territory.

This whole scenario reminds me of a situation that occurred between 2 acquaintances of mine several years ago. I introduced a girl friend of mine to a guy who was an acquaintance I knew through work. I only had contact with him about work stuff, and didn’t really know that much about his personal life, but he always…

Are we really deleting any comment from people who do not believe that Ansari was guilty of the crime of sexual assault? C’mon.

I don’t think this is really the same. Amy isn’t wrong- what Aziz did isn’t illegal. But, like Amy said, what he did still isn’t acceptable and can do a lot of damage to the woman on the receiving end.

Unpopular Opinion: You cannot shame or criticize victims, but I think there is room to just believe people you care about. I don’t think it’s okay for Keaton to go after Dylan Farrow, but I do think it’s okay that she believes Allen and is wrong. I also think it’s okay that Nikki Minaj never spoke out against her…

I think if we are going to cut off every guy who has ever done something borderline amiss we are going to be incredibly lonely people. I don’t think the answer is ostracism. There needs to be dialogue. Guys feel cornered and will act defensively when confronted. That, for some reason, is almost the universal human…

You’re right there has never been a legit reason to have issues with Hillary Clinton. It’s all disgruntled Bernie Bros or women hating caveman trying to smear your precious princess.

Serious question here: I have no doubt this DJ is a tool that crossed a line and groped Swift (Stonewall Jackson ?? SMH)... But in terms of employment of ex -offenders what would be the proper hiring protocol? Is the expectation that he (or any offender) not be allowed to work again in their chosen profession (clearly…

She may have appeared in a couple of mob movies that Woody had squat to do with.

The sketch could’ve ended with, say, the server interrupting with a strong stance against clear sexual violation, but I’m no comedy writer.

why do u hate women!!

You keep on talking about reputable artists, and I agree completely about that.

It’s almost as if this was a craven political calculation meant to hide scandal and was made without principle or standard. Geez, you would think that the average voter might pick up on that kind of insincerity which could catch up with her in the long run, even maybe setting back the slow march of progress in this…

“I can’t count the number of times I and others were taken to task for not liking her”

I felt the same way about mine. I got my first few in easily covered fairly private places, but it felt like me declaring ownership about my body and decorating my skin in a way *I* found pleasing, and using my body as a canvas for beautiful pictures as opposed to using it as an outlet for my rage and stress. Also I’d…

Every survivor of sexual assault deserved to be believed (unless they accuse my husband of misconduct).

How does she still not get that her playing to both sides is part of why she was such a shit candidate.

Well she’s also married to a rapist. So it’s not terribly surprising.
