Uhh, at present, seven women have said that Franken groped them and/or tried to forcibly kiss them. Are you literally suggesting that unless someone molests a child (which is what we call underage women), then they can get away with sexually harassment or assault?

I see trucks supporting Moore everywhere.

Just a heads up, but anyone interested in the Manson Family should listen to “You Must Remember This” and the series “Charles Manson’s Hollywood”. Fascinating. Also, a great reminder that Roman Polanski is a piece of shit!

“You are very special people. Anne Frank used to live where you’re from. They call her a dirty jew.”

mel, i’ve had a couple nervous breakdowns. even was hospitalized for one.

55 year old men who do that are not neophytes. That pose spoke to his worldview, and you bet your ass it was a power trip. That photo was meant to humiliate her. Did you not read the original article and her account?

My daughter put my 80 year old father in his place when he was on a rant like this. Things were easier and simpler when he was young, he moaned. Her reply shall ring down the ages;

Franken isn’t under arrest or facing legal consequences for this, last time I checked, so what is your point? She should have stayed silent because her treatment by Franken wasn’t as bad as someone else who was sexually harassed by a powerful man?

It’s a photo of the same man that pressured her into rehearsing a kiss, while they were alone, after her repeated refusals, and then stuck his tongue down her throat. He ignored her refusals and continued to sexualize her while she was unconscious.

I’m already sick of the apologists claiming “It was a JOKE! He was on SNL!” like that makes it ok.

No, no, George Will was right. We want that coveted status!

I am just going to say it: If you are being asked to choose between a Civil Rights lawyer and a pedophile and that choice is difficult for you, deplorable is an accurate description.

I dunno how that is NOT harassment. Have we crossed the sexual rubicon to the point that asking a woman to watch you jerk off is acceptable behavior? Take it out of the colleague realm for a moment, Cabbie asks. Passenger says no thank you. Everybody cool with that? How about a waiter? “My name is Eliot and I’ll be…

Crazy how much people overthink how complicated this all is. It’s really easy to understand!

It’s pretty simple. Lots of men are really, really proud of their (sadly, actually unique) ability to understand that patriarchy is real, and does hurt both men and women in discrete ways. They get these concepts as abstracts, but they fail to overcome their own socialization and apply this knowledge to their day to…

As stories have come out, I’ve come to be interested in this, too. I know there are a lot of harassers who are obvious in their disdain for women, but others have actively promoted female work and feminist ideas. Is it like the conservative Christian preacher who has hook-ups with guys in bathrooms, do you think? They…

Damn appropriate.

Why does this sound exactly like that Mad Men episode when Peggy Olsen has to work with that gross turd of a human and he says he needs to be naked to be creative. AND Peggy ends up with said guy in the final episode.

By referring to her as an assistant, he’s diminishing her. He’s showing that she’s insignificant. Similarly, in a lot of cases, famous men will refer to “that woman” or “that person” instead of by name. It’s a way of relegating her to the sidelines; an unimportant person with no identity. Remember when Bill Clinton…

I’m not surprised. He never seemed to respect any of the women who acted on the show. I will have to see if I can find it but Christina Hendricks said in an interview that he would give her directions on basic things that any actor can do. She told him he didn’t need to write those things out for her and he said he…
