Yes! Nothing has actually happened to him. Isn’t he the guy who said no one should complain about anything because airplanes can fly? I don’t know if he’s feeling sorry for himself, but if he is, he shouldn’t be.

He absolutely does not share the opinion of the victim. She has never once wavered. She said she was raped then, and she says it now. She’s just sick of it all.

Because his audience likes it as much as he does.

I’ve despised that man since I’ve known of him. His entire career is just an elaborate excuse to use the N word as much as he wants.

It sounds amazing, but was anyone ever told that was a realistic future?

I agree with you, but not about Casey Affleck. As far as I know, he’s taken no responsibility, and enlisted his brother and friends to cover it up. To me, Casey is a Harvey or a Kevin.

I’ve been Grace. I’ve been the girl Morgan Spurlock talked about in his confession. I’ve been terrified and totally unable to

I so agree. She makes my skin crawl, but I’ve never seen a beautiful celebrity get hate the way she does.

I agree. I probably wouldn’t believe accusations against my brother, my husband, my dad, my son, and maybe even a few close friends. And you know what? My thoughts and feelings shouldn’t matter. I’m not court.

I do have an old “friend” who was recently convicted in a high profile rape case, but it wasn’t a struggle.

I agree with everything you’re saying, but a little ray of hope? I spent my daughter’s childhood living in terror of her being an asshole teenager. Now, at 14, she’s still pretty sweet, as are many of the other teenagers I know. My anecdotal experience is that they’re just making them nicer now.

Agreed. As a girl growing up, no meant “convince me”. As much as I wanted to have no “no”s respected, if it had happened I would have been shocked and not known what to do or how to take it. All this meant I had no clue what I wanted - I all knew how to do was react. I don’t think the guys I dated knew what they

She seemed to just continue on as usual, didn’t she? I’ve been surprised there was so little press about this. I remember when it happened, but don’t remember it ever coming up again. I didn’t realize anyone was killed.

Woody’s version of his relationship with Soon-Yi’s are as bad as Mia’s. He joined a family, acted as a father to some of the children and ignored others, and then a troubled girl who had been pining away for his attention for years was thrilled when she got it? Still very, very bad.

I’m hating seeing Moses and Dylan pitted against each other. As you say, he has no way of knowing what happened to Dylan, and he of all people should know that. However, Dylan also has no way of knowing what happened between Moses and Mia. I believe what each of them has to say about their own experiences.

I have one sibling (as opposed to, what, ten?), relatively close to my own age, and, I’m going to guess, a much smaller childhood home than Moses’s. Even so, there is not one single day of my brother’s life where I would be comfortable saying that nothing could have happened that I didn’t know about. Moses wasn’t

But there’s no real reason to be suspicious of her mother. There never was. Sure, after reading her book I found her a little self-pitying and melodramatic (Mia, not Dylan), but the general public never had any reason to believe she was manipulative or vindictive.

Never mind that it was a forceable rape, and Roman Polanski he knew exactly how old she was. Even if you haven’t read the court documents, all people need to do is look at a picture of the victim. She did not look older than she was. If anything, she looked younger.

His own defense of that relationship is as bad as any accusations, or worse. “I joined a large family, established a bizarre dynamic in which I was a father to some of the kids but not to others, ignored this girl for years so she was desperate for my attention, and then - what do you know! - she was thrilled when I

I agree there’s nothing wrong with just wanting attention. People are always looking to get their needs met, and all of our needs come from a sincere and genuine place. But perhaps, like DT, she is also a shit? I can’t imagine she’s anywhere near the shit that he is, but that’s a very low bar. Victim blaming hurts

You’re absolutely free - encouraged, even! - to look out for your own safety. I have found there are men who will get offended and hurt when I do, and it took me years to see that wasn’t my problem, but I digress.

Every single woman already knows we don’t live in a safe world. There is absolutely no need to say so to anyone but one’s own daughter. It’s even less necessary and more inappropriate after the fact. It is not a unique point of view, it’s not a brave “truth bomb”, it’s something everyone already lives by.
