“not one of those fancy people wearing black to honor our rapes would have lifted a finger”

I could have stomached about 20% of her intended sentiment if she offered a single suggestion beyond “suck it up”. The “ I did not express myself clearly” backpedal was the icing on the shit sandwich.

“I’m not sure where this hostility is coming from”

I’m not at all assuming you’ve never been in an abusive environment or dealt with it yourself. What I AM saying is that you lack all empathy when talking about abuse victims. Reread that entire thing. I wrote it with a purpose, not from a high horse at all, just kind of frustrated that someone could have SO MANY…

...ahhhhhh. Folks, we’re dealing with the kind of person who thinks a couple of tweets contain an individual’s entire experience of abuse at the hands of an employer. In other words, not the brightest bulb in the ol’ marquee.

Man, you genuinely have issues. Your response is “lol talk to people who have it worse and are martyrs,” and victim blaming, but you don’t get where the hostility is coming from?

Yes, we all know that the reality of the situation is that there are the strong people that trudge through the shit few can manage to make…

You are a victim blaming nightmare. Take your The Secret BS right out of here. Women who “check the power” of abusive men get doxxed, threatened, and much worse. Abused women routinely get murdered for it.

Not necessarily true. Creating a hostile work environment can be harassment.

It’s frustrating that you’re sitting here focused on policing Megan for “internalizing abuse” (you know instead of the actual reality that is processing, and dealing with it in therapy, plus not speaking out because previously the men who were doing this were not being held accountable and ruining people’s careers).…

“Tell me what I can do” is not the same as “I would feel a lot of relief...”. Also, I’d just like to point out the irony of the fact I’m now having two separate discussions about the nature of forgiveness under a comment thread about people changing the subject from sexism/racism as a rhetorical tactic.

Yeah, stuff like that is a tough sell when women in the entertainment industry only have to be rumored to be “difficult” to see opportunities diminish or disappear altogether. The day women get extra chances at success after being horrible to everyone around them for long stretches of time is the day I’ll start…

Men, stop insulting children by equating your bullshit behavior with theirs.

maybe... asshole bosses should not be the norm... and holding them accountable is a step towards that....?!?!?

When you fuck up, it’s not always something that can be fixed. And when it can’t, you say sorry because you ARE sorry. You don’t get to automatically feel better, but you do get to know that your apology is sincere and isn’t motivated by self interest or merely the desire to feel less like shit. And THAT is how you…

“I would feel a lot of relief if you told me there was a way to fix it”

I’d expect nothing less from Worf’s brother.

“Dont make a jerk outta me”

Based off of my experiences, stay the hell away from dudes named Lawrence/Laurence... Or worse, ‘Larry’. If you think that you’re going to meet one, go to a church and light a candle. Carry a bit of John the Conqueror root in your left pants’ pocket/purse. Make cloves of garlic into a necklace and wear it. Rub…

Correction: Bernie went right back to promoting Bernie and his brand. He also went on any damn talk show he could find and bashed the DNC and pouted when Keith Ellison didn’t win chair. Hilary after damn near spending her life as a public servant and getting hammered for it deserves to do whatever the hell she wants…

If you need someone to talk shit about John McCain regardless of health status, I’m your person.
