You left out Clarence Thomas. A goddamn Supreme Court Justice! How the fuck did that ever happen?! He should have NEVER been nominated.

From the little I’ve watched of KUWTK, Kylie’s comments about cooking for Tyga that you referenced isn’t a symptom of her low self esteem, more like her low verbal communication skills

It’s not any better if he heaps his abuse onto sexworkers instead of comedians.

Chris Hanson read this story, and has no idea who to ask to take a seat.

People are complicated, artists especially so.

You’ve brought a certain level of self-loathing to this that I, for one, was not expecting.

To many of you: You don’t get credit for “never liking (his/her/their) work anyway”! shut up, isn’t even remotely about that.

Regardless of whether his past work should be taken down, are you referring to this behavior (sexual assault) as an aspect of being “complicated?”, and that Louis CK is a good person doing an “icky” thing? Newsflash: Good people don’t partake in sexual assault. You’re confusing them with bad people.

Making the woman uncomfortable is probably part of it - asserting dominance, transgressing their boundaries. That, and exhibitionism. I don’t believe for a second that these guys think “I bet these virtual strangers want to watch me jack off.”

“Her abuse of those women aside”

I wish that were true. People bend over backwards to excuse these sorts of things.

I’m commenting on my own comment because I had more to say. Watch that clip. Has the root of the message being delivered by Kimmel changed? I STILL see headlines like this on jezebel. It really bothers me that this website would get sanctimonious toward their readers when they post some of the headlines that they do.…

People have the right to tell their own stories when they are ready to tell them. Reporting those stories without their permission, reporting them as rumors or “open secrets” is unfair to the victims and can even undermine their story when/if they’re ready to tell it. It may actually cause harm to the victims. Why…

For the sake of not derailing the discussion or appealing to authority, let’s assume we’ve just wrapped up a party where we both participated in tossing Louis C.K. into a bottomless pit while cheering manically from the edge, and that we’ve both got Ph.Ds in journalism from Columbia.

Oh no not...who?

I think that any sexual harassment has a negative effect on those receiving it, but my point was that politicians groping women happened a lot and happened so frequently that I genuinely do think of it as being “garden variety.” I’m not saying that to downplay, but just to point out that it happened all the time, as…

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

I have. About Louis CK.

So... if you want actual concrete claims prior to vilifying someone you’re a rape apologist?

Gotcha. Makes sense.
