You’d think so, but if you read a little about Rivers’ state of mind - particularly around women - at that time, you’d question it a little more.

You think No One Else is problematic? Listen to Across the Sea as an adult. When you’re in high school you just hear the awesome instrumental arrangement, and get really emotional when he sings, “Words and dreams and a million screams, oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.”  When you grow up and you realize that this…

Eight bajillion stars for you. I literally snarfed my tea. 

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. “WEEZER are the creepy old dudes in this situation!” Listen to Across the Sea as an adult and you realize that in half a second.

It is. The only song I might like more is You Gave Your Love to Me Softly.

Yup.  The only reason I went is because NotHisYacht wanted to see them (like you, satisfying high school him).  And he had the same take you did - most of the set was their old stuff.  I mean, we all expect bands to play the songs that made them famous - I’ve seen my favorite band, Train, almost every tour and there…

Every time I see or hear anything about Weezer, I rant for five minutes. I used to adore them. I was completely enamoured. I was also 19 years old. I went to their last tour with my boyfriend because he’d never seen them, and I made continuous jokes at their expense (boyfriend thought I was hilarious). I did enjoy…

You are not alone. And when you feel like you are, remember that there’s at least one woman from the internet who remembers you and sees you. 

Lindsey Graham has been particularly nasty during this entire debacle. Part of me wonders if there’s not something in his past that is making him act this way. Then again, he’s probably just an asshole.

I’ve said it in a few posts the last couple days but: I was 14, and assaulted by a boyfriend in a classroom. I told a teacher and she said she didn’t want to hear about my “relationship problems.” This week has been so exhausting. Thank God Mr. Yacht is taking us camping this weekend. 

“Dr. Ford’s testimony would reflect her personal knowledge and memory of events,” said Grassley. “Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay.”

I am so very sorry you had to live with that pain for so long.  Even now women aren’t believed so I can’t imagine what it was like for Dr. Ford as a seventeen year old in the late 80s/early 90s trying to figure out how to process it.  It’s amazing and inspiring that she’s gone on to have a happy life despite what…

Thank you very much.  I have it easier than most; my assault was two decades ago, so it’s just something that bubbles over once in a while.  Most of the time I don’t even think about him.  But I feel badly for women and especially young girls who are getting the message that the default setting for people (men) in…

“Here’s what I want your audience to know: If Ms. Ford really did not want to come forward, never intended to come forward, never planned to come forward, why did she pay for a polygraph in August and why did she hire a lawyer in August if she never intended to do what she is doing?” Graham said, before adding, “And…

Yup. Mine has a ten year old. Even scarier: he named her (first and middle) after another of his exes who is one of my best friends. He also sexually assaulted her - she got drunk, he took advantage. It’s horrifying. 

My rapist is now married with a daughter.  I shudder at that thought but clearly I guess I made the whole thing up since, you know, he didn’t rape ALL women.

Good God he’s terrifying. 

That much I knew, but your original comment confused me because it said “Committee that Ford will be facing is all mal,” which made me think there was some weird subcommittee of all men that I didn’t know about.  Hopefully the Dems will hold the line.

“Your” continuing to respond with nonsense. You asked for facts and logic. I give you statistics. You don’t like those either, because they go toward my point (which is that it is not probable, by the way, that she is lying). So you just continue to say that I can’t prove that no woman has ever accused a man falsely…

And you’re still not dealing with the statistics.  Because despite your “appeal to logic,” when presented with factual evidence, you choose to ignore it because it doesn’t fit your argument.  You can’t name one woman who has provably, falsely accused a prominent man in a position of power, and I have provided you…
