“smegma covered rape-hobbit” is truly luminous prose, thank you for that.

beating it like it owed him money, would be my guess.

It was never really a single accusation. Constand had twelve other victims ready to testify over a decade ago. Everyone actively ignored/denied the situation, and many continued to do so last year until the victim count got into the several dozens and it became almost impossible to manufacture denial. We can argue…

I’m still angry at myself for not only picturing the color of raw hamburger, but the texture. Curse my vivid imagination.

Some very fair-skinned men (Ailes is one, without the TV makeup) just naturally have very red privates, especially their balls. It’s not appealing to look at, but it isn’t necessarily an indicator that something is medically wrong.

A good part of what brought me here, too. It’s attention-grabbing precisely because it’s so horrifically vivid.

I read the article because of the burger line...

It was fascinating to watch the Bill Cosby narrative shift seamlessly — and almost instantaneously — from “If he’s been doing this for so many years, there would be hundreds of victims, so he can’t possibly be guilty” to “All these accusers prove that women are just jumping on the bandwagon for a payday, so he can’t…

That is THE perfect gif.

Exactly. This had me thinking about all the women who DID get the job...will they turn on Gretchen Carlson because the suit basically implies that they did what she wouldn’t? Ms. Kelly...?

If they’re afraid to come forward, I can understand why. They’ve got careers to protect and there’s very little doubt that this isn’t going to a clean civil affair where everybody respects everyone else’s personal space. I see a lot of character assassination for anyone who comes forth. I may not like Carlson as a…

These are all pretty old stories. I wonder how many recent women are uncomfortable speaking up. :/

And they were red like raw hamburger.

If you ever want to stop someone from clicking on a link to one of your stories I would say that putting “they were red like raw hamburger” in the title of some story on Roger Ailes and sexual harassment would be right up there.

Celibacy has made you bitter.

me:

That is super gross. I do think, though, that it is unfortunately pretty common for people to tell their partners *EVERYTHING* and so I suss it out pretty quickly and use that to determine what I want to tell them. I have a cousin who tells not just her partner but also her mom everything. And then mom tells one aunt…

Who doesn’t recognize Serena as the best women’s tennis player of all time?

Though I’m not a huge tennis fan anymore, I’ve always felt Steffi Graf got half her titles due to her own ability and half due to Gunter Parche:

Yeesh...that is one fugly wedding dress.
