Bastard.

All's I'm sayin' is, the whole "captive in stirrups" thing probably struck him as kinda hot.

various abuses taught me early in life that my choices about what to do with my own body didn't really matter. i dissociated during sex and initiated it early, so i could at least have control of -when- it happened. i got married when i was only 21, and we had lots and lots of sex, because it really meant nothing to…

I'd like to come at him Girl with the Dragon Tattoo style...

"In one way, however, dating will now be easier because you're free from the campus sex police, who were ready to charge you with sexual harassment if you put your hand on any woman besides one who had asked you for help in crossing the street. At some schools, there are even manuals for sexual exploration that tell…

Can you at least read the article before jumping to blame her, asshole?

shame and guilt kept her from coming forward before now

You might want to read her explanation before saying she "shares the blame":

And even if he is senile now, he wasn't when he raped these women.

I want him, if he can't be jailed, to suffer consciously the loss of his good name and reputation, and to be shunned publicly like the plague. After enjoying the fruits of fame and money for so long, and after the years of self-righteously telling kids to pull their pants up and be a man, he needs to know what…

Heartbreaking. I hope that all of this coming to light again will bring Tarshis at least a modicum of peace, though it certainly won't in any meaningful way until justice is served. I wish we lived in a society where it would be ridiculous to assume that a woman won't be believed just because the man who attacked her…

Sadly, most of the comments I've read about this story and other victims show that Ms. Tarshis' fears were not unfounded. I imagine it would have been 1000x worse 20 years ago when Cosby was at the height of his fame and power.

No snark; I applaud this woman's courage in coming forward, even if it is decades after the assault. Despite all the nasty things that people are going to undoubtedly say about her, I hope she feels a sense empowerment in finally being able to share her story.

I knew an Aspie that would say the most asinine, sexist shit, and then when I got mad at him would be a douche and use his Asperger's as an excuse. To clarify, he was just a douche. Whether or not he had Asperger's, he would still have been a douche.

Had a problem just like this once at my old job. Dude just wouldn't stop making his funny funny rape jokes and retard jokes and dumb blonde jokes. When I told him I found those jokes upsetting and could he please stop, I also got the 'you're just sensitive' and 'why are you attacking me, nobody else gets offended'…

when you find the right person they tend to be the one who lets you be you

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm in my late twenties and am no where near marriage because I know I have so much shiznit about myself that I still need to figure out first. It sucks and it hurts sometimes, especially while seeing others around me getting married, or taking other big steps, but I know it's a process…

This story makes me feel better about my decision. I came from a deeply conservative religious upbringing and coming out to my parents recently has been a bit hellish. But I dated guys for a while there and I couldn't even feel comfortable just kissing, much less anything more intimate. I kept trying to talk myself…
