“...I have known Donald Trump for 40 years, and while we agree on some issues, we strongly disagree on many others and I have never been bashful about expressing my opinions.... I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental…

If The Related Companies is really just an independent investor and SoulCycle and Equinox are not managed by them, then why the hell do they have a PR flack that represents both companies? The pure condescension in SoulCycle/Equinox’s responses is galling. Even if their statement was true, they ignore the most damning…

Take that exercise money and spend it on Latinx owned businesses. Vote with your wallet

This is EXACTLY how capitalism is supposed to work. Gyms are basically all the same; people join this one because they want to believe they’ll belong to some sort of community and embrace some their ethos. If the community turns out to be shit and the ethos is toxic, they are right to get out of it.

:( Doggos are goodest boys. He can be rehabilitated.

Correct. I also do not know a single woman who has not been harassed, molested, assaulted or raped. NOT ONE.

Yes, and why aren’t perpetrators worried about being seen as difficult and dramatic, and dangerous? 
I know, but how effed up is all of this?

My OB/GYN told me I had an STD before I started dating. I’m embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize that this meant I had probably been molested.

I had this exact conversation with a close male friend. I guess it’s good we are able to share these things more openly now, but it’s awful that we have to keep having them over and over.

Police and courts AND society at large (hopefully changing one will affect the other). She writes that she didn’t fully understand that what happened to her was unambiguously sexual assault until the MeToo movement. She doesn’t say so explicitly, but it seems like she didn’t tell her parents or anyone in authority…

I had this happen to me at a house party that we hosted in college. I was 21, went to sleep alone in my own room, and woke up to someone on top of me kissing me. I think the only reason I didn’t immediately freak out is that my sleep addled brain thought that my frat-boy housemates might have sent a guy I had…

I was 7 and it took me until I was adult to realize, too. Solidarity and healing to you.

Truly, what must change dramatically is how police and the courts deal with sexual predators, enough so it is just ingrained in our culture that if you do this you will be held accountable. Enough that the second he started assaulting her she would have known that she’d be protected and believed and thus felt…

Dear humans, if you wait until someone is unconscious or unaware to try to satisfy a sexual desire, you are in the wrong. Always. Stop doing it.

It’s batshit-insane to me that women & girls can be groped while they’re fucking asleep and still question what we did to bring that on ourselves, or wonder if we’ll be believed. This is rape culture & toxic masculinity!

I believe Ashley. USFS has a lot of answer for when it comes to why they did not offer up public support for Bridget Namiotka when she came forward. They spoke to Ashley in February before Bridget went public and they said nothing. Ashley has now gone public with her story about Coughlin, they did issue a statement of…

Y'all. Keep your fucking hands off of us. It's not that hard if you put some thought into it.

This is a little OT, but her story reminded me of Bridget’s storyline in that Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book. What was she, 16? The story portrayed her as sleeping with her coach (i.e. getting statutorily raped by her coach, but Brashares didn’t call it that) and spiralling into depression? Of course, Bridget w…

I disagree - Stassi is reformed and Beau is to thank for it. We have all come to find through the years that the real devil is in fact Katie Maloney FauxSchwartz.

I was listening to Danny Pellegrino’s podcast with James Kennedy yesterday (ok, I’m just gonna go die after typing that sentence) and Danny asked about a rumor that the “OGs” are banding together to only film with each other and not the new crop that they’ve hired, presumably as a strategy to stay central to plots. I…
