That’s the point. The Grapevine is a sub blog of The Root, not Jezebel. Jezebel has covered every sexual misconduct accusation against any white man at nauseam. One post about a media mogul like Simmons more than wo weeks ago and that was it?!

That was 8 women ago. Since then, nada. But we were updated about every woman who accused Al Franken of groping her butt. I wonder if race has anything to do with it...

Jesus F. Christ! You are a tiny minority among the professionals you’ve mentioned in that industry. That’s what I was talking about, when I said ALMOST exclusively. Kindergarten teachers are almost exclusively women and no one would claim otherwise. What is it, that keeps women like you from understanding the most…

Lol, if you excpect most companies to fire a guy based on what this dude did, then this is more than just a group of prudes, it’s a perceived national moral mindset, seemingly shared by a (silent?) majority, otherwise people wouldn’t get fired for this.

When and where have I been an apologist of any sexual misconduct?

Well, Russell Simmons don’t need no stinkin’ drugs. He’s an old fashioned rapist (allegedly). I wonder why the latest developments in his case don’t get the same attention that every butt grab by any white celebrity received on jezebel? Hm...

The people running corporations are ‘Muricans too and they believe that their customers agree with their narrow minded worldviews. Don’t hide behind *uuh, I don’t mind but...* you dumb shit.

I get the sense that you and others would like to use #metoo to not only silence those who did wrong but ideally anyone born with an xy chromosome combination and this is why at some point in the near future, the whole discussion will take an ugly turn. More participation by one group (women) shouldn’t result into…

How is the disproportionate turnout newsworthy? That’s always been the case since 1980. But oh well, if it’s a snappy headline...

What he didn’t wasn’t either legally wrong nor morally reprehensible. You Americans are the most puritanical hypocrites on earth.

Taking a step back from public life can only mean one thing to you - complete radio silence? He was answering a few tweets, mere hours after his admissions, not anouncing a national confession tour. For how long should he ceased to exist to the public and who should tell when he has atoned for his wrongdoings? Of…

So, 98% of all black women and 93% of all black men voted for Doug Jones and the gist of the story isn’t about black voter turnout but black female voter turnout only? Sounds logical *eyeroll*.

How did he violate the terms of his employment by using his private account, not comitting any crimes and tweeting about things unrelated to his job?

Let’s make it two sentences: “After reading the stories women have shared as part of the #metoo movement, I’ve realized that many of my actions have been harmful from others. I’ll be taking some time off from my work to address several serious personal issues and make amends to those I’ve harmed.”

More like 1200 (2%) and their voices would get drowned out by their roughly 59000 male co-workers:

He’s not an on-air talent, thus not a public figure. He tweeted on his private account. Should your employer have the right to monitor your private social media accounts and censor your interactions there, even if they’re torally unrelated to your job?

Household chores are now considered hard labor? Really? Is it also silly to state, that 93% of all workplace related fatal acidents happen to men?

Why should this guy lose his job over this? What about this was illegal? It doesn’t even constitute anything close to harassment since the convos seemed to be consensual.

I think it is:

No, what’s creepy is the obvious double standards and your dismissive way of glossing over them.
