This is a really good point. Going after the system that keeps these abuses and payments secret is the next logical step. The Spotlight series that was so effectively enshrined in the movie of the same name was so powerful because it laid bare the machinations that allowed the perpetrators to repeat their awful…

I read myself in a lot of this. You did a wonderful job of explaining the mental gymnastics cool girls use to justify things to themselves.

This may be my favorite typo/autocorrect ever.

You worry about hypocrisy. Don’t. It is the most false standard of all false standards. The only way to be perfectly correct in every action you do is to do absolutely nothing ever in your life. I personally relish being called a hypocrite. It may be the degree in philosophy (All hail the tu quoque fallacy!), but it…

A drug-addled, schizophrenic shitbag who basically invented what Terry Richardson does, then created Terry Richardson through a series of fucked up childhood vignettes, such as 4-year-old Terry finding his dad in the bathtub with his wrists slashed, or 42-year-old Bob loudly fucking 18-year-old Anjelica Huston all day…

I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point there was discussion of a settlement (completely understandable on the mother’s part if she didn’t want to put her kids through a trial where they might be exposed to rabid Minaj fans calling them liars and insane courtroom behavior) that they’re going to try to spin as an…

This is a perfect description of his “style.”

OK, I absolutely didn’t know it existed when I “made up” that name but, as usual, you can find anything on the internets.

This article in the Washington Post a few days ago was very interesting. It’s about the role of non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases that keep predators like Harvey Weinstein in powerful positions. The people who accept these settlements are never let in on the fact that there are a few other people…

None of the humans in their lives are women. Or, to put it another way, there are plenty of women and girls in the lives of these men, but they don’t see them as fellow human beings, but as decorative playthings, as set dressings, to complete their images of themselves as “family men.”

His “style” that makes every picture look like something sent by a kidnapper to taunt police is way over anyhow.

Agreed, loved Lindy West’s piece about this being a witch hunt. Yes, I am a witch and I am hunting you. Bring it on. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/17/opinion/columnists/weinstein-harassment-witchunt.html

Updated Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, at 8:38 a.m. EDT: Police have released a man accused of stalking two young siblings over the weekend after the children recanted their story last night, according to WPIX-TV.

The man used to live in their house and was just passing by. Also, the children’s father is a police detective. This is so weird.

If it’s banter that you would exchange with a male, or with a person who is not in your romantic age range, then it’s not a terrible thing. But if it’s banter that communicates that they are attractive to you (a message they may be getting multiple times an hour from different men of all ages) then it’s just…

She has a damn good reason to ask about how her husband died. he may have been abandoned by his unit and died *after* the initial firefight. From The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/18/sgt-la-david-johnson-soldier-at-the-center-of-dispute-over-trump-remarks):

I got home REALLY late one night and was getting my daughter and all her things out of the car. I tunred around to go in the house and BAM...this dude was standing literally right behind me. It freaked me out so bad I almost maced his ass. Yet for some reason, he couldn’t understand how that wasn’t a good time to…

I can’t speak for all women, but also: I’m not that mysterious. When I met my current SO I signaled my interest pretty clearly and strongly; he felt pretty confident that I was appreciating his attention and it was OK to proceed due to me openly saying things like, “I like you”, “This is fun”, and “Let’s do this…

Can we get over the ‘getting a rise out of people thing’? You’re not subversive and thoughtful because you enjoy upsetting strangers standing near you on a train. You’re a shitty person.

Does the young lady have a go fund me to replace her soup? Because she deserves a lifetime supply of soup. As far as Bradley is concernced fuck him and his comedian defense. Free speech is also the freedom to get these hands and that’s precisely what happened.
