And that not immediately creating a scene/calling the police/fighting back means that you asked for it.

So, as Lisa Bloom did not actually represent Weinstein as a lawyer, could she not then be called to testify about what he admitted to her? Not that this will every result in an actual trial or anything, but don’t you have to actually retain someone as a lawyer for the lawyer to then owe their client Attorney/Client…

What I don’t get is, how easy would it have been to just pay some cute hooker to act like an actress and pretend to be harassed? They’re totally used to role play like that and would welcome the money. I know he probably got off on the whole taking advantage part of things but the people wrangling up women for him…

I wouldn’t object to that except that these books are an unhealthy example of BDSM and D/s relationships. The vanilla people who read them for a thrill (which is totally fine), get a really fucked up idea about the people who really are kinky. Also, the notion that kinky people are “damaged” is offensively pervasive…

Hey ya’ll. In an effort to get references to this lamebrain out of my life, can I recommend a much better, obviously more experienced BDSM/Romance writer? Reading The Siren now and was blown away by The Red. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

I just wanna tell her “Honey, sometimes it really is black and white, sometimes there are clear sides. And you chose the wrong one.”

Now all I can think of is “reunited and it feels so good!” Let’s all have it stuck in our heads, shall we?

All I can think to say to Dems who act this way is:

On the one hand, he said, he’s “trying to do better,”

This is kinda how I’ve been feeling about this situation. I’d rather not be an adult and know what your boss has realized.

Oh, that’s right, this is Unilever! That’s a HUGE company. Their marketing process must be at least as robust as Target’s. It’s really crazy that this keeps happening.

Me too. For Target. There’s no way, given the scrutiny over every ad, from conception on the creative team to media buying, that this wasn’t seen by at least 50 people. What the heck happened?

Oh, I’ve seen pretty much all of Ken Burns’ movies. I especially like the one about the National Parks and Prohibition.

Oh, no. I’ve been down to the boiler room (stood outside it actually) and it’s just a louder version of what I’m hearing in my apartment. It’s like an engine noise of the boiler actually running. I’m used to the knocking and hissing sounds of the radiators. That’s not what this is.

Although, the Pump Up The Volume with Christian Slater has always been one of my favorites. You should watch that again too.

He rejected the breakup.

Does anyone have experience with low frequency humming noises in their apartment from a boiler? They turned the heat on 4 days ago and since that time, I’ve been hearing this horrible humming noise 24/7, haven’t been sleeping well and all day today my right ear has felt really fucked up. Like my ears need to pop but…

And 10 - 20 years younger in age. They know a 40 - 60 year old woman would kick his ass if he tried that shit with them. (Most of the time, anyway.) That young women aren’t able to take action after something like this happens to them is an embarrassment to our society.

So, why does he even bring up E.L. James at all? She didn’t have a book in the crop that he was reviewing. Since when does a review of specific books become a statement about the entire genre as a whole throughout history?

LW2: Be satisfied with what you have even though it’s not enough?!?!?! Fuck that. If you want marriage and a deeper commitment, you have a right to demand it. “It’s just a piece of paper” he’ll probably say. Too bad. If it’s what you want, stop making it easy for him to have exactly what he wants at your expense.
