It is important to understand that people who do horrible things aren’t monsters. They are humans who made horrible choices. I think calling them Monsters takes away their agency and their responsibility for making those choices.

Soooooo, why do we laud Polanski and Allen while demonizing Cosby? The question wasn’t answered. Every Hollywood liberal practically drools over Allen on a regular basis. They still line up to act in his films, and they defend him like hell. Didn’t Cate Blanchett just win an Oscar for acting in an Allen film? Why…

This must “bern” you up, to see Hillary being all competent and funny and totally the next president.

I don’t get this attitude. I love Bernie, I donated to Bernie. But handing over the country to these lunatics out of spite if he doesn’t get the nomination is insane.

Not even in a purely strategical sense if the election ends up being her vs. Trump? Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Hillary is also Canada, judging by my Twitter feed...

tl:dr - Dumb idiots

Funny that white men can find some common ground with other white men who just happened to be attracted to white men, but women still aren’t people.

Anyone else find it unsettling that as we make great strides in LGBT issues, we are being jettisoned back to the dark ages when it comes to Women’s Reproductive Rights?

Abso-fucking-lutely!

It is so, so hard not to respond to the trolls in this thread. So I’ll just say this in general: no, you don’t actually have to “resist” in order for rape to be rape. If someone grabs my purse off the table next to me and runs off with it, and I don’t scream and chase him, it’s still theft. If I leave my house…

So many women I knew in college had this experience. And despite all our best efforts to teach “no means ‘no!’” it continues. It happened to my daughter’s friend last week. And she was scared to report it because the town police have a reputation of trying to discredit the women who report being raped. But what’s…

For a woman in comedy to be noticed she has to be exceptional. For a man? Dane Cook and Daniel Tosh would like a word with you.

I’d say a big part of the problem is that every scumbag can have an untold number of victims. People are acting as if Cosby is an outlier but if a rapist gets to be in his seventies without getting arrested for his behavior, 50 victims would be a pretty low number.

Ughhhh that makes me want to bang my head against the wall! I’m glad you stood up to them.

Boogey man stranger in a dark alley kind of thing, yeah.

I am sick to the back teeth of hearing ‘all these women making false rape claims so disgusting’. Where are they even getting this from?! I bet not one can name one woman who has made a ‘false claim’. It's like they hear that statement off one man, pass it on to the next, to the next, to the next...

Yeah. I think a lot of men think that rape is only when some guy in a ski mask pulls you into the bushes at night. I had a situation where a guy I was having sex with removed his condom without my permission or knowledge. Technically that was an assault. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t consider it to be one, though.

I think a lot of them legit don’t think date rape happens and if you are not screaming for help or crying bloody murder it is not rape just sex you regret.

Jesus. Why are there so many fucking scumbags abusing children and women? For real, this is nuts. I was having a conversation with a bunch of men at my office and they were talking about crazy women making false rape allegations. I advised that false allegations are rare and that the vast majority of rape victims have …
