I do mostly agree with you here and your post does not feel like an attack. I am not jumping to defend Woody Allen and say that he is innocent, and it's disgusting when people try to blame a victim or suggest that she or any victim is definitely lying or mistaken. I also agree that it's quite a bit rarer for someone…

No, he is not the one I "want to give the benefit of the doubt." I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Yup, absolutely!

I err on the side of believing her as well, but this does not end with me needing to subject Woody Allen to excessive vitriol or to express outrage that he continues to live his life. People hate ambiguity and so feel the need to pick sides, to demonize one person and valorize the other. Neither of these is necessary.

"I find it nearly impossible that her vivid memories were planted or that she lied." You don't know about the science in this area, then, do you? Is is in fact VERY easy to create false memories.

"anyone who doubts her is betraying that seven-year-old girl in the attic"?

Let's go to lunch sometime.

It must be so hard to completely and totally miss all the good LOLS.

I feel bad for anyone who has to spend a lot of time with you, because all you do it speak in cliches poorly-masked, passive aggressive non-statements (BLESS UR LITTLE BEATING HEART). Yes, I know this is all you do, because I know you very well at this point. We are practically sisters.

Yup - "LOL" is an important linguistic development, and it's very useful to get across a lot of different things. Nobody really uses it to mean "laughing out loud" anymore.

No, you were absolutely not raised better than that. You're a passive aggressive jerk. You give dirty looks to people who are wearing sunglasses indoors because they aren't following the rules of your arbitrary bullshit "manners," even though people do it for a ton of reasons, including severe photophobia or to hide…

Maybe mind your own business? I've VERY light-sensitive and when I have a really bad migrane I need to wear sunglasses inside to function. If is YOU that doesn't "know better." You can kindly fuck off.

Wow, talk about absolutely nonsense. I mean, I am not a very physical personal—I'm all in my head, so maybe I don't notice this stuff as much, but maybe I'm wearing my coat because I'm COLD, which might have everything to do with my blood pressure and nothing to do with your skills as a host, or maybe I'm wearing…

No matter how bullshit something I read is, I ALWAYS have a brief moment of "but what if!?!?!?" in which I imagine a very different world.

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING LITERAL. How can you not see that this is a joke and the joke is on the homophobes? UGH.

I don't mean the grammy win itself so much as the fact that a pro-gay marriage song is not only popular but completely mainstream. Just because YOU maybe don't gain anything from it doesn't negate the fact that this song is a huge part of the cultural shift into a more accepting world.

Yeah, this look doesn't work for everyone.

Wow... you are like the worst person on the entire internet.

He's pretty much damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Say nothing? ARROGANT. Say somebody else should have won? FAKE.

I'm confused. Didn't you mean to write about Macklemore?
