Why should she answer to you or to anyone for something that has nothing to do with her? You THINK it has something to do with her-you WANT it to have something to do with her-but the only guilt she has is having worked and been friends with somebody who did do something wrong. That doesn’t make her guilty. I’m sure…

To my knowledge he hasn’t raped anyone. He admits to acting violently in a mutually abusive relationship. I think it’s important that he talks about his experience. I think there is a lot to learn from the way he talks about it, not that I support him or his actions in any way, but it provides us with so much insight.…
I am not a big Schumer fan but honestly I can’t get myself worked up over this. Like Kurt Metzger is a shit bag, no question but why does she need to answer for his bad behavior? That is what I am not understanding about this whole ordeal. The focus is no longer that Kurt and men like him have some BULLSHIT ideas…
Wait, you are saying you didn’t hear part of the joke but you chose to comment about how the joke was not funny? Based on other people’s comments, sounds like you missed the most important part of the joke and now you’re using it to say Amy is some kind of rape insensitive asshole.
But despite Schumer’s casual stage presence — swilling straight from a bottle of wine — and the general vibe that things could descend into a hen’s night at any given minute, each joke or comment is meticulously structured to push the laughs in the right direction. It’s the kind of smart, ballsy comedy that makes it…
Having been in an abusive relationship, I don’t think her settling and going along with this carefully-worded statement automatically means she wasn’t completely sincere before. Now it’s over, and she has enough money to live on if, for instance, she has been blackballed in the acting world by her powerful ex.…
Or maybe, just maybe, if Pennsylvania was a mandatory DV arrest state, rather than at the officer’s discretion, then it wouldn’t be the sole responsibility of a traumatized victim to take the potentially life-threatening risk of filing for a civil RO. It should be part of a toolbox that both law enforcement and…
So it actually depends on the state, but in states with mandatory arrest laws (meaning that if law enforcement responds to a domestic dispute, someone is getting arrested, it doesn’t depend on the victim asking them to arrest the perpetrator, or the cops needing to meet a threshold), firearm dispossession is often an…
I know that there are programs (private run/charities, not government run) that rescue women from domestic abuse situations. I wish we gave those programs better funding. I wish that it were a mandate that police give information to women about these programs when they respond to a call. I was extremely paranoid when…
This is a local story to me. Many outlets were hinting that it was Megan Short - the articles highlighted her mental illness. That’s why some of us thought it was her.
It’s all speculation though, isn’t it? We can guess, but not positively say, what was going through her mind at the time. This stood out too:
Yup. And everyone seems to be angrier at Hillary for all of this than the man actually accused of rape. Until that stops being the case, I refuse to let the alleged actions of Hillary’s husband impact my opinion of her as a candidate. And she is still by far the best candidate in this election.
If you are getting pushback, it may be because suggesting that she is “let[ting] other women’s lives be destroyed by her husband so she could advance her career” is a baffling interpretation of events that occurred decades or years prior to her seeking any kind of political office. It would make a lot more sense to…
A prison-based justice system tears apart families
The conventional wisdom seems to be that Trump is the worst thing that could happen to the Republican party, but I think his despicable existence is an opportunity for them.
Classic New England style Republican. I grew up among such folks- was descended from such -and it’s only because I’ve known them so well that I’ve been able to maintain any respect for the party whatsoever. Well, that’s not what the party is about anymore.
To me, the point is that really cool dress that I wish I owned.
I read the whole article, and this part in particular broke my heart:
after seeing what happened to some girls who did gymnastics with me, i have no qualms being the aunt who is aggressively involved, unlike my sister in law, i’m familiar with the ins and outs of gymnastics, i don’t strive to purposely give any coaches, assistants or anyone at the gym a hard time but I’ve made it more…
