You do understand that the vast majority of rapes don’t result in charges being laid. There are a metric fuckton of men out there who have raped and won’t ever face a court because the legal system is biased in their favour. The legal system is broken so we must circumvent it. That’s the whole point of the #metoo…

That’s kinda my point. All the major media outlets are ignoring what he did and I think it’s unfair. His victims deserve as much sympathy as all the others.

Look if you liked him when you didn’t know that is not your fault and I wouldn’t judge someone for their ignorance. But if you know about what he’s done and decide to ignore it because you like him? Then you should take a long hard look at yourself because those are some weak principles you got there.

Funny, no one here was saying that Roy Moore should be considered innocent until proven guilty. But as soon as it’s someone you all like you’ve suddenly got all these reasons to ignore the women. That’s a fairly biased and unprincipled approach to the whole matter.

I’m actually an atheist feminist. And saying that information you don’t like is fake news is what Trump does...

Check the comments sections on articles written about Franken by this website. A LOT of democratic voters want to ignore his behaviour because he votes blue. You’re being almost as disingenuous as a trump white house staffer. Lying about a blatant fact that we all know to be true in order to muddy the waters.

I don’t know about aliens but I know NDT is a rapist and that avclub is complicit in protecting him from the consequences of his actions.

Do you care about the fact that he is a rapist?

Noted astrophysicist and raper of women of colour. Funny how people don’t go after the men who target women of colour. Lena Dunhams friend is also absent from the news cycle.

The problem with your scenario is that it happened in a workplace. You should never try and flirt with a colleague. Women don’t go to work to be hit on, they go to work to work. Is that simple enough for you?

I’m happy for you, but I think you missed the point of the article. Many of the women coming foward did not have the ability to make that choice you made. Merkin believes that all women can do what you did and shut that shit down and that is not the case. I just hope that main point doesn’t get lost and we do not…

Sounds like Catherine is doing the smart thing and staying far away from that whole mess.

If a prosecutor ever filed charges they would use these writings to indicate that whatever act they were prosecuting Allen for was not a one off “accident” But the behaviour of a known pedophile with a fetish for underage girls. There’s just so much evidence of his intent and proclivities at this point, if a victim…

There are some jobs where punctuality is important. But there are many jobs where if a person came in half an hour late and stayed back to make up the time, it would not make a difference.

Do you think he would change his tune on the importance of punctuality if Tom Brady drove into a snow drift and froze to death?

Yeah. That is the real reason it got shut down. A judge said all information has to be shared with the democrats too.

The real reason he shut it down is that a judge ruled that any information the republicans gathered using the vfc would then have to be shared with the democrats.

What we need is for a regular person to get banned for a similar threat. And then that regular person can sue twitter and argue that thery should not be banned because trump does the same thing on a bigger scale. Then twitter will have to justify why trump is allowed to keep tweeting. Afaik there is no line in the…

9/11 may have happened to America but that did not stop the world’s opinion of the US going into the toilet after Iraq and the GFC those two things eliminated any goodwill the world felt after 9/11. The reason Obama won a nobel prize when he was elected was because we were so happy that you guys had elected a sane…

I guess you haven’t heard of Tony Abbott. Conservative former PM of Australia. Once said about refugees, “Jesus knew that everyone had their place, and that it is not everyone’s place to come to Australia.” Even though he himself was born in London.
