It makes me really uncomfortable that nobody seems to be saying much about the fact that he’s so much younger and how that makes him extra vulnerable. Nineteen is technically an adult, but you’re still young an easy to take advantage of. Not you, but the conversation in general. I feel like people get blinded by the…
I’m going to very carefully list the states that go red in November and then plan to never live in those states (...again. I’m in one of those states sadly)
Not sending people to prison for non-violent crimes is not that radical an idea, actually.
This type of compassion and decency doesn’t even come at the expense of the letter of the law; it elevates the law.
Southern racism is overrated and hides the actual truth: it’s everywhere.
First he came for the Blacks, and I did not speak out...
Mmmm hmmm. Just like how Trump says his daughter would just quit if she were being harassed (assuming she did something horrible enough to get herself into that situation in the first place). I think they all think that way.
That’s an interesting thought. Many of these women tend to look at themselves as outliers though, like they think that they’re strong and smart and can’t be affected by pesky sexism because they wouldn’t allow themselves to be victims. That only the whining women or the women who aren’t acting right are the ones who…
I wonder if being anti-feminist makes a woman an easier target for shit like this? It seems like some lack of confidence would already be in place.
Yikes. He sexually harrassed me, which was awful, but I ended up reconciling with him through the help of my powerful legal team and now I have to wonder if his other victims are really just complicit in their own objectification?
I concur, I was harassed by a colleague and was encouraged to report it by other coworkers who hate the guy. I now regret it, it was a massive time-suck for me, and the harasser got less than a slap on the wrist, which has only emboldened him.
I was sexually harassed by a much older man, a client, while on a work trip in my early 20s. It was distressing and uncomfortable, to be sure, but the reporting process was infinitely worse. If I had known then what I know now - both about how awful the reporting was going to be, and about how important it is for…
That’s upsettingly true. Most women would have to either take the job or walk out and possibly face whatever immediate and delayed personal and professional repercussions.
All because some mook wants to get laid. And like, as a guy with an overactive sex drive, I get it, but it’s not a license to harass people at work…
I imagine the interview was along these lines....
What she fails to realize is that she had the privilege of being able to call up her high-powered attorney to get him to back off. If she hadn’t, she likely would have been in the same situation as all the other women. Not everyone has access to the resources that Ross had.
Except she’s rich and powerful so whatever Trump or Cruz do to us little people, her money would act as a buffer for her. Plus, she’d get even richer ‘cause TAX CUTS!!
I dislike the kids. I know Maura wasn't the best father but my god those people are do self involved and selfish. They just do things to blow up their lives for no good reason.
You forgot rich. With lots of rich and famous friends.
He's actually an extremely intelligent and well-spoken person, if you ever watch an interview with him.
