I think part of believing victims is believing them when they say they’ve moved on, found acceptance and forgiveness, and managed to rebuild constructive relationships with their abusers for the sake of their children, etc. If an ex-wife feels compelled to voluntarily speak up for her ex-husband, perhaps some…

Trump has spent so much time coming out against things that are good. The bad things he’s for are generally pretty popular (immigration, or instance). Here we have an issue he’s for that is both bad and unpopular. For him, this issue is deeply personal in a way his other bad ideas are not. He rarely sticks his neck or…
It’s insane that Laura Wasser has allowed her last two A-list cases to spiral so far out of control...Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Especially given the particulars of both divorces—one subject of abuse accusations and the other making them. Whichever side of the net she’s playing, it always gets messy and her…
There’s always tons of support for AJ in the Jezebel comments section but I think her behavior has been shitty and ruthless. Is there a legal or media mechanism she’s not used to gain an advantage in these custody proceedings? Judge Judy (flawed, biased, and fuddy duddy though she is) would brutalize Jolie in her…
I think she’s fine! I’m glad weird professional opportunities are available to former First Daughters and I’ve never had a negative impression of her based on the fluff pieces I’ve watched her do. IIRC, NBC News tried to make Chelsea Clinton happen and that didn’t take off because she had no personality.
I agree. I think a lot about the teenagers swept up in a Trumpian social media climate, herded into offensive rightwing opinions. When they wake up and fix their attitudes, what path to liberalism exists for them? The left will cannibalize them at the door.
Eileen is the most likable housewife ever. She’s not the best TV, but the likability is strong.
Man, Colbert resists every effort Oprah makes to have a thoughtful, intelligent conversation. I know that late-night TV is not 60 Minutes but he’s terrible at reading the room. Oprah shares an astute and poignant memory of growing up black and his transition is to...how many Weight Watchers points would Jesus get? I…

Counterpoint: “Yeah 3x.”
I’m not surprised that so many people have this backwards. Emphasizing personal responsibility is not a way for gay men to blame victims. It’s a way for us to unify around a set of ground rules that prevent finger-pointing, scapegoating and division—so that we do not have to litigate the contents of private…
As an active gay man, I’m about as low a risk as you’ll find. I’m on PrEP, (currently) in a monogamous relationship, get tested four times a year, use protection always, and communicate this to every new partner I meet.
