The entire opening block of LO’D’s show was tremendous last night. I’m especially pleased that he resisted putting a man on the panel “for balance”, because that is not the voice we need on this subject. We need to hear from women.

The look the Hillary supporter shoots the camera when the Trump lunatic says he won over women is basically this election in a nutshell.

someone on my fb shared a blog post from someone titled something along the lines of - I’m a white woman, sexual assault victim & this is why I’m voting for trump. I couldn’t bring myself to read it.

We’re watching the implosion of a political aprty in real time. It’s fucking amazing.

I actually had tears in my eyes listening to a woman on MSNBC (whose name unfortunately I can’t remember) as these stories were breaking talk about Crooks’ boyfriend saying he didn’t think it was the physical intrusion that upset Crooks so much as it was the feeling of powerlessness...that she couldn’t say or do…

as the son of a father and the brother of a brother, i couldnt agree more.

I think it’s kind of disturbing that we’re talking about the women instead of their male relatives. 

I am 32. I consider myself a strong ass woman. Not a victim. NEVER a victim. But what is shocking, and humbling about this entire election is the fact that other women are speaking out about things that I have just accepted in my life as part of being a woman, and that I’ve forgotten about until now. I truly forgot…

Duck Kellyanne! The boomerang you threw is predictably coming back to lick you in the head!

This is probably why sexual predators shouldn’t make their election campaigns about consent/assault. Like they’ve just trotted out Bill Clinton’s accusers and criticised Hillary for trying to discredit them. And now they’re branding Trump’s accusers as liars after their 15 minutes.

Did she just get owned by Don fucking Lemon? Oooh, honey.

I don’t know why — I’m not religious — but that final line in the poem always makes me a little verklempt. It’s the only thing that allows me to understand why someone is religious. It’s comforting.

Not just perfect health. THE most perfectest health ever, beautiful health... Really. Hachi - can I call you that? Is that okay? Good - let me tell you Guliannis health is so good, I’m told that they are going to rename health; Gulianni! No, its true its true I was told it by talking people.

Update: The teenager wrote about this experience earlier this year, and makes it pretty clear that he felt used and uncomfortable:

“I’m not a witch, I’m you.”

I had an idiot male acquaintance tell me recently that you can’t expect a man to act mature until “at least 44. It’s science.” Um... No? I told him that I didn’t ever expect him to act mature, nor did I feel his age was the issue.

I liiiiiiiiive for these Republican sex hypocrite scandals! Live for them!

I was old enough to know better, but I guess I was still young enough to still do something stupid.

So he’s promised not to repeat being attracted to young men? Sounds reasonable.
