No - thanks for backing me. I am always amazed at people who think women have limitless time dedicated to pursuing this sort of thing - even before the whole “find a lawyer who’ll work for free” redonkulessness.

My terrible experience was WITH strong, powerful, male legal support.

And who will choose who’s on the Tribunal? I’m picturing something like the Congressional Hearing on Contraception back in 2012.

Yeah, it’s like someone saying “yeah that guy attacker me on the alley, but I have a black belt so I got away...all those other women need to get black belts too....that attacker and I grabbed a Starbucks afterward because he was so impressed by my skills. Turns out he’s a sweetie!”

Yes, it is sad, so I try not to cringe when I see errors in the body of an article. You figure maybe the editor was skimming, didn’t notice every word. But this one, in such a prominent position! This one is a rarity! The combination of laziness, haste, ignorance, or just plain nonobservance is striking. You’d think,…

I just celebrated a week clean off of heroin (and everything else, save for methadone). If I can do it, I’d say she sure as hell can, too.

I was sexually harassed when I was 18 and it is probably my most traumatic experience to date. My colleagues all knew, everyone had opinions, I was ostracized and ended up depressed. Sometimes I think I'd never have told ( I actually didn't tell, someone reported it) but in the end I'm glad I did because it has made…

There are two things I’ve noticed in multiple fields about both the men that commit this shit and the ones that field these complaints; they have way more in common with each other than they’d like to think. Even the best type of guy who reaches C level is more interested in the outcome for the accused than the…

I concur, I was harassed by a colleague and was encouraged to report it by other coworkers who hate the guy. I now regret it, it was a massive time-suck for me, and the harasser got less than a slap on the wrist, which has only emboldened him.

This article took a turn.

I was sexually harassed by a much older man, a client, while on a work trip in my early 20s. It was distressing and uncomfortable, to be sure, but the reporting process was infinitely worse. If I had known then what I know now - both about how awful the reporting was going to be, and about how important it is for…

So who gets to decide on this tribunal what counts as sexual harassment and what doesn’t? Do they go by strict law definition? They have to revictimize themselves and then there is still a potential for “You haven’t suffered enough, or how you benefited outweighed what you went through.” Why not just make a support…

It’s not her fault that he’s beating her. The point is that if she doesn’t start taking real care of herself that there is a large chance she will just end up in this situation again.

She is a seriously damaged person, and I doubt that she has ever really had a healthy relationship in her life. I don't know what it would take to turn her life around, but I do feel sorry for her.

She’s really transcended some bad writing from really dickheaded men and she’s comfortable and adept at playing people who are tragic, flawed, and sometimes just really shite at life. She’s good. This television program seems exhausting and I am exhausted hearing about it, but I hope she does more films again.

Still better than “Oyster Lucy”

Ugh, my woman brain isn’t interested in very many Olympic sports, but the ones it might watch (mostly swimming) will lose about 95% of their appeal if I already know who won. And I HATE that 85% of coverage has always been wading through life stories to get to the three seconds of edited action they deign to show.

I’ll throw in my kingdom too!

I drop this tidbit every chance I get, but she’s now dating my brother’s friend. He's a good guy, and they've been together for a bit (not while she was married, obviously) so I choose to believe she's happy.

My kid has been more stoked about this movie than he was for Secret Life of Pets. We are going on Tuesday for our weekly night out. Kids have no taste and I’m okay with it. He can be a cynical cinematic snob in twenty years. For now, I’ll just enjoy hearing those giggles about a cranky cat-man.
