Carly lost this election twice.

fellow receiver of EMDR for trauma/therapy and I echo this times 1000.

That seems to be what the piece suggests - a “person to whom things happen.” That’s how I see myself. I am a person who has been raped. I am a person who has been stalked. I am a person who has scars from being attacked by strangers on the street. I am not a victim nor a survivor. I am a person who’s had a bunch of

a cool thing about doing EMDR/ truama therapy is that i feel like i’m no longer a victim or a survivor. it’s like a thing that happened that i no longer have any connection to

I think death threats and coming after your children counts as at least bullying. Roy may not be a good or smart person but no one deserves that. I guess we need a new word, if bullying and abuse won't do?

In this context, I think Schumer being female and the aggressor being male are essential components of him treating her as a commodity. Male celebs are also subjected to invasive and unwanted attention, but this “I/we paid for you [so I can do anything I want to you even if you say ‘no’]” sounds like a john thinking

Ever think about how it’s 2016 and we still can’t shake the belief that people are a commodity?

no it’s America and we paid for you

Meh... I’m not even an Amy Schumer fan but let his life be destroyed *online*. “We paid for you” has to be the smarmiest phrase ever uttered while violating someone.

Dude, you paid for a movie ticket/cable and received a movie/tv show. End of contract.

He looks prettier than Shia

I think this is a pretty classy move that doesn’t deserve snark.

That never stopped anyone in the Bible.

aaa ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa its good to be an Atheist. Not that I ever read the Bible as a scifi book.

Yep, and the article actually says there's nothing wrong with her skimpy costume because "adults can dress how they want." But the old Starfire had emotions and relationships and action and stuff, not just a sexiness that consumed her entire personality.
