In my eyes it is more than “glossing over.” They are complicit with an eye to financial gain. It doesn’t excuse the behavior of the predators in any way but it does beg the question of who is advocating for these working children. Are all the adults in their lives just there for money?

Somewhat but this was shocking! She wore a lot of short curly wigs in her forties. I have pretty much always had long hair. Being in my early forties and wearing a wig very similar to those she wore at around the same age was double take worthy.
In so many ways we punish with payoff and everyone is okay with it...medical malpractice, the tobacco industry, personal injury. It is pretty telling that women that are assaulted and raped are supposed to nobly broken instead.
My bestie and I were Sandy and Rizzo at last nights annual family Haloween Weenie Roast. It was lovely until I realized just how much I look like my grandmother wearing that wig!
I have used a similar response with my dad recently. He is terminally ill and in the process of getting listed for a transplant and spewing racist and sexist bullshit in various doctor’s offices and it has me just about to lose my damn mind.
THIS! This one issue is the sole arbiter of voting decisions in my area. You could have Jesus Christ himself float down from Heaven and if he was not vocally anti-choice Ted Cruz would be elected.
But if you are Saudi oil rich you just step into a limo at George Bush Intercontinental Airport and pop right on over to the largest medical center in the world.
I was pretty take no prisoners towards that behavior as a supervisor, unfortunately the administrators for the municipality that my library was a department of didn’t back up much of anything.
I was in the library world for over a decade. People really don’t realize how much sexual harassment goes on in that environment. I had everything from gross old dudes dropping trou to internet masturbation to serial phone foot fetishists. We had a fair amount of idiocy from the young guys (and gals on occasion) as…
No, it isn’t a free pass. (A really cringey) However, one of the symptoms of dementia is hyper-sexuality. After my grandfather (who raised me) had a stroke and in the interim until his death several months later it was one of the most disturbing aspects of caring for him. I really don’t know the details of GHWB’s…
I sat in a doctor’s office most of the day yesterday with my terminally ill father as he repeatedly made racist (and sexist and other ist) remarks. I tried my best to stop him, I made known I disagree with him and told him how vile his remarks and opinions are. He didn’t raise me and is ill from his own bad behaviors…
If these children didn’t learn this from their parents they almost certainly did from their community leaders. It is disgusting.
I suspect it is just that they are more visible via the interwebs
Nets? NETS?!? I guess I shouldn’t be incredulous about these folks not knowing that you lasso cows and/or bulls - I don’t know how to order coffee at Starbucks.
Were I Ronan I might sit on a potential DNA test until I could bring the most well written, damning, explosive piece exposing Allen in particular and Hollywood in general possible then follow up with a by the way I don’t share your genes anyway.
Libraries are cesspools of gross, inappropriate behavior. For me it was usually from patrons. I was just contemplating which gross patron I had to endure from my library days to add here.
My bathroom has ship lap but has been there since it was built in the mid 1930s and is solid as a rock (it is also oak not pine so there is that.) My kitchen is also all ship lap and needs refinishing in a bad way.
I have lived in Texas most of my 41 years on the planet and been in a goodly number of hospitals, none of them have been Catholic. Of the numerous hospitals in the Texas Medical center (I think there are 20 or 21, the largest medical center in the world) there are 2 maybe 3 catholic hospitals. Nowhere near “almost…
From the reading I have done (not a doctor, not a midwife, hell not even a mother) many of the deaths in this country from childbirth are DUE TOO medical intervention rather than lack of medical intervention. Ever increasing use of induction leads to increasing risk of c-section and that alone increased mortality…
