Yes, because they need to answer as to what his fucking deal is that he keeps writing the same terrible article and it keeps getting published.

At the very least it’s probably safe to assume that anyone using the “ fear that they’re unable to tell “an attractive associate that they’re wearing a nice outfit.”” line is guilty of sexual harassment.

This is bringing me back to the two times I competed. I was a terrible, hungry, sober person during those bleak years.

That, and he thinks he’s laying the groundwork for issuing pardons to himself and all the other treasonous old monsters plucked from around the Forbidden Forest and random gateways of Hell.

There’s not much I judge parents on, but failing to vaccinate is absolutely one of them.

And, if you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions,

That sister has allegedly been estranged from the family for a decade, according to multiple sources. I would strongly take everything she says with a grain of salt, especially since she appears to be the only one saying things about these lines. Additionally, as someone raised by a parent with Narcissistic…

A lot of guys have amazing skill on the track and can do some jaw dropping things. Others are just bodies that move fast and hit things (skill not so much). I think of WFTDA vs MRDA like this: they have the same rules and goal but how they accomplish it can be totally different as WFTDA is more team-based and MRDA is…

It’s unclear that those are actual allegations? The accusation of... touching a womens leg... is exhaustively reported, yet this other stuff is a foot note?

I (Fury Duty of “It Happens in Derby”) was interviewed for this piece and I *definitely* brought up the fact that QZ is black and that it took a Black man to do something before folks started paying attention even though White men have been getting away with this stuff for—literally—years.

I have the same sorts of feelings. My old league held a lot of co-ed scrims and experienced too many skeevy male refs and skaters. Was not fond of skating with most of the guys, either, because most were not good teammates and were unnecessarily rough.

I don’t disagree with anything the article said (I didn’t fact check it line-for-line), although I do know that some of the people involved in the “23" incident are taking steps beyond just an apology but also meeting with and volunteering with groups to help sexual assault victims.

But I love that modern roller…

Former male skater here. I quit because the dudes were so skeevy. Everyone’s body was a subject to be commented on, and every minor detail and instruction had to be overloaded with innuendo. It could have been fun and the bad actors were a statistical minority, but nobody ever did anything about them. There was one…

One of the things that is super gross about this is that it seems, YET AGAIN, that white abusers are getting a pass while everyone is really quick to bring Quadzilla down. Quadzilla deserved every consequence he got, but pinning cultural issues on a single person does not really address things correctly.

“Roller derby is probably one of the last places you’d expect to see a textbook example of #MeToo.”

YEh the minute it became co-ed, this should no longer have been a surprise. (Obviously still something that happened even when women only, but I’m willing to bet exponentially less so)
Sorry not sorry, I have conflicting…

I can’t fault anyone for what they believe - Becca Kufrin

Sure! He was in my city for a comic-con, and I was working the event. I was assigned to stand by him-take photos for people with their phones, keep the line moving, etc. We struck up a flirtation and I was placed at his table all 3 days (I learned later on he’d requested I stay with him for the duration of the con).…

Oh god I’m looking forward to watching this. I laughed and laughed at the trailers and how much the showmakers want us to understand this IS NOT OUR GRANDMA’S PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, it is SUPER SEXY AND HOT AND MAKES THE SUBTEXT THE TEXT IN A VERY SEXY WAY. I haven’t quite decided yet whether making Mrs Appleyard hot…

Ohhhhh. I’ve never seen this Justin guy talk before. I’ve just seen pics. I totally get the appeal. He’s a babe. Rodent tattoo? I’m in.
