Same. It’s starting to affect my relationships with my male relatives. I absolutely adore them and then I wonder if that’s only when they’re around me. I hate the idea of thinking about these awful things about my dad, cousins, etc. because you can never be completely 100% sure.

I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.

I have one particular conservative friend that repeats all the patriarchal misogynist crap some of her male family members have drilled into her. I haven’t given up on her and I won’t go into the complexities of the friendship here, her politics are just one side of her.

The whole “medically necessary” thing really riles conservatives, who declare it’s completely unnecessary even though the DoD has done this before and in fact requires a doctor to declare it medically necessary.

As a guy, I just want to say that this is tough. I want to be clear that the guys who did this stuff was wrong, but men are left in a Catch-22. I’m sure I will be eviscerated, but here goes the reasoning.

Came here specifically to do/for this.

Alec needs to shut up.

Honestly I think the whole claim is silly. I’ve been groped in gay bars by men a lot less appealing than Kevin Spacey and it wasn’t hard to get over. If it’s continued and prolonged abuse then that’s one thing, but a one-off dick grabbing shouldn’t be a big deal for most gay men.

“someone with a decades-old conviction from when he was 19-years-old and his girlfriend was 14"

I do not buy this guy Glaser’s “explanation” that he was suing this young woman for $38 million just to do discovery. In some cases, discovery can be an incredibly helpful process — for example, in medical malpractice it can be used to uncover serious and devastating flaws in hospital or physician processes or…
