this is helpful and thoughtful and actionable, thank you!

hi i am a lady and am having a difficult time (in a different fashion) when it comes to all these public accusations/allegations. i believe women when they come forward; i also, in my guts (but maybe they’re the bad, non-kombucha’d guts?) wish there were some way to accuse without instantly dismantling the accused’s…

“dear omg: I am sex repressed white teen girl with such tight metaphysical mom-corset I need boy band boy with weak muscles and non-threatening testosterone levels with his feminine face to intro me to backseat car sex before I LITERALLY, LITERALLY die”

I think the main point we’re missing here is that she’s Canadian and fuck if Canadians will put emotion before “logic”.

woof. you’re bad at being human here.

it’s also poisonous to think you can’t enjoy something if it’s not ‘perfect’ or ‘complete’ (i’m a victim of this, so it’s nice to call out at times). enjoyed your response, thanks!

thanks for the self-centered food diary nobody asked for!

He supported POC after a long line of criticism of not doing so. He didn’t come pre-woke.

But it was present to Stewart as ‘stuff on Twitter’ and ‘on Gawker’—which, let’s face it, reads the same as gossip mags to people in media. Beyond that, it was a random guy in the crowd asking Jon—not a reputable journalist pursuing an investigation. Maybe someone called him from the Times, but prob not, as they…

Friends can be victims, too, when the truth lets out. People are human. I don’t understand this article’s call for everyone to be a police state over their friend’s actions, words, and trust. It reads as misdirected rage at a third party.

I love this. I’m a woman. I love this.
