I also think that the instinct of keeping anybody “from being viewed as anything other than spotless victims”, as you put it so eloquently, is in itself devaluing the very people it sets out to protect. If where we want to get to as humankind is a place where each individual is viewed and taken in as the individual…

Yeah, why do sex crimes now only count when there’s more than one victim? This reminds me of that old line in the constitution about slaves being worth three fifths of a man. Now apparently one victim is not enough to take down one criminal, there must be many victims. Even if it is true that Woody Allen has not…

The reporter who needed more here is Stephens. YOU might acknowledge the holes Whitney tears in Stephens’ bullshit. Read this. You are standing up for a child molester and/or the defender of a child molester. It’s as simple as that.

Comparing the UVA debacle to Woody Allen is ridiculous. They are in no way the same. And using the UVA story to discredit Dylan Farrow is wrong. But the media, it’s about the media! How the two have been handled in the media is also not even remotely the same. Or are you and the writer conveniently forgetting how his…

Why in the fuck does there need to be more than one accuser?!

This is tragic. But also, why do any men think “it was consensual” is a legitimate response to sex with a minor? I wish that men would understand that there is no such thing as consensual sex with a minor, ever. You are always raping a child.

I think that the current feminist trend of fawning over hijabs is the product of some “enemy of my enemy” logic. The RWNJs hate Muslims, and since they hate all things good, Muslims must be good, even when they aren’t. Any religion or sect that tells women they have to cover themselves so they don’t seduce the…

It is misogyny, but the white man isn’t perpetuating it, so white women feminism has deemed it to be okay.

Mixed feelings...love inclusion/ still feel that women wearing a hijab is the product of misogyny.

So what you’re saying is, Rose (or any other cis woman who’s been raped), every time she talks , should lead with “but trans women have it worse so my rape doesn’t matter, let’s talk about those who are more oppressed?”

This. I can’t stand Rose but why do we expect individual women who care for one cause, to be champions for every other cause in equal measure?

But couldn’t the same argument be made about the trans woman who heckled her?

What have you been smoking? Have you been paying attention to what’s been happening to public schools? Budgets being cut left and right, more and more fundraisers for basic school needs, and the glorification of private/charter/choice options as the “answer to our failing public schools.” Have you been to an inner…

Again, I fail to see your point. After decades of being maligned and shoved to the side, Rose went and made a plan. She shopped a docu series and a book, and trademarked a phrase. She then started talking to journalists on the record even as they found they couldn’t move forward with the story. She visualised, planned…

Yeah....Rose McGowen was raised in the Children of God (as she said on the Daily Show, “my first language was Cult”) listening to stories about the end times every night and probably getting molested. She likely didn’t get much of an education. Went to hollywood, got raped. She was traumatized as a child and as an…

I’ve just now seen the accusations against Andi Dier, and they are awful.

And where would that be?

I’ve just now seen the accusations against Andi Dier, and they are awful. Assuming they are true (already there are multiple women accusing her of assault so I believe them), then Andi Dier is a terrible person. That said, this isn’t about defending Andi Dier. When this incident happened, Rose (and probably everyone…

She explained why she uses Rosearmy. Its because that’s what she trademarked a few years ago precisely to push for change. Rose has been at this for awhile, screaming into the wilderness while the world ignored her.

Rose isn’t perfect but neither is Andi Dier (the transwoman) - different women accused her this week on Twitter of sexual assault and hitting on underage girls, though I notice no one is mentioning that here.
