I’m a little conflicted about this. I’m glad an Asian American woman is being represented, but ultimately it’s just another play about (and starring) white dudes. I was hopeful that the existential crisis might include some female characters, but the play breakdown lists only 4 male performers. Of course there’s the

I would argue that he’s correct in saying there haven’t been any scandals, because scandals are defined by others judging one’s behavior as morally wrong. Alabamans, and Trump supporters in general, love that shit.

This was my thought as well. Then I guessed it could also be his ham-fisted way of reminding us all that he was Person of the Year last year. He can’t stand that his one-year term as PotY is coming to an end.

We get a frozen turkey and brine it in a cooler while it thaws. We also do a second turkey on the weekend using an alternate/experimental preparation. We use up the leftover sides and only make new ones that got forgotten or were on the backup list. It gives us a chance to get together with friends/family who couldn’t

I got rear-ended on the highway on my way to day 2 of a new job. I have recent cervical fusions so I had to see my GP to order an MRI for my spine surgeon who also ordered x-rays. Three days, three medical centers. Luckily I’m ok and only missed 2 days of work. The car also seems ok, but I couldn’t get an appointment

This. It’s so passive-aggressive and self-serving. He slips in the fact that he always asked first. He talks about how much everyone admired him. He names all of his projects. He mentions the wife and kids. But he doesn’t even say “I’m sorry,” he just lists the people he’s hurt with his actions. Even his “apology” is

You seriously think the defense won’t use that against her to discredit her?

This is the very issue that needs to be addressed. It’s up to all of us to remember that this kind of behavior doesn’t mean you deserve to be raped. Twice. And when we sit on juries, we need to remind everyone else of it, too. Just like we’re all reminding you here, right now.

He could have countered the claims that certain women were difficult by saying, “I find the opposite to be true. She is a true professional who works hard and won’t allow certain people to rape her.”

They’re mad at Gloria for reasons they can’t even imagine. It’s not fashionable to victim-blame anymore, so they go after the lawyer that speaks up for women instead.

He will not go to jail. That’s why he’s “getting treatment” in Europe. If he’s charged, he’ll pull a Polanski. Maybe even go make movies with him. I’ll bet his money has already been transferred to offshore accounts and put into trusts so he can live the high life and shield his assets from his (maybe) soon-to-be-ex.

This happens again when you hit your 40s. People change after they have kids/work a shitty job for 20 years/fail to find “the one”/whatever else life hands them. Some of my best friends that remained my friends after high school or college eventually turned out to be total assholes once they had to deal with real life

He will get elected. Mark it.

It’s a valid point that should be addressed. Not as hypocrisy or to minimize their claims of sexual assault, but to explore how our culture and the patriarchy teaches us to excuse the bad/criminal/disgusting behavior of people we like while condemning it in those we don’t. Rose, Asia, and all of us need to unpack that

A) There’s nothing stopping men from tweeting #MeToo.

That is more a problem of our society dictating what is appropriate for girls than a problem with the GS in particular. When I came home from my first Girl Scout meeting with macaroni art, my mother said “absolutely not.” She immediately volunteered as our troop leader and took us rock climbing, camping (with no men

It’s almost as awesome as living in a society where a sexual predator can ruin countless women’s careers just because they wouldn’t let him get his dick wet.

What changed is that a man stood up and said he believed the women. If not for Ronan Farrow validating their claims, the victims would continue to be thought of as crazy, vindictive, conniving liars.

Because a man (Ronan Farrow) finally stood up and said, “Hey folks, look what’s happening!” A man always has to validate a woman’s claim of abuse before they can be believed.
