Robin Wright had to fight for equal pay on House of Cards. She wanted what Kevin Spacey got. Besides playing Claire, she’s also an EP (like Spacey) and occasional director on the show.

What it means to be a woman is on many American women’s minds right now, since our current presidential election is…
I realize that she felt the need to act professional, but I really wish she had slapped him or something. I want women to know that it’s okay to not be NICE all the time. Last week a guy at McDonald’s hit on me before he gave me my food and my face turned into the most sour, annoyed, shriveled raisin. He looked scared…
My father has been doing some serious soul searching lately about his support of Bill Clinton. He LOVED Clinton in the 90s and is now seriously questioning if it was ethical to vote for him. The silver lining of this election is that it is forcing certain 65 year old guys to rethink their ideas about sexual assault…
Wasting time. Have a good day!
Aw, dude, we both know what you’re really doing. But okay then.
Aren’t you?
Sorry your tenure bid failed because you groped a TA or six. Good luck contributing to the public exchange of ideas as a private citizen.
You are an actual toddler.
So many people - especially men - just can’t seem to grasp that there’s not much incentive to report when the people one is supposed to report to are on the side of rapists, harassers and abusers. Police unions are still supporting Trump even after hearing him brag about committing sex crimes. How could anyone…

I work on a college campus too. I feel male academics in particular have a wonderful ability to never listen to what you are saying and they are pretty much just waiting for you to shut up so that they can wow you with their next amazing insight because who needs two people to have a conversation?
Sounds to me like he stopped listening as soon as you said that it had also happened to you. When you brought the issue of harassment that close to him, he shut down. Because your story, and your result, doesn’t fit in with his worldview of harassment victims being only “pretty and weak people” who are easily saved by…
Speaking as someone who admires them both to some extent, Hillary is definitely not Beyonce.
ohhhhhhhh god. I work on a college campus, so this hits close to home. This is how harassment continues in these hallowed halls, through the silence and disbelief of other people.
Or maybe, just maybe, “believe women” means that we should hold sexual harassers/abusers accountable regardless of party affiliation? And that we maybe shouldn’t look to political campaigns for deep feminist truths? Call me crazy.
The most absurd aspect of this is the idea that Trump and his supporters believe we should unequivocally believe Clinton’s accusers but his are all insane and untrustworthy. The idea that women’s experiences are only true when they fit a convenient narrative is as destructive as the tendency to disbelieve them in the…
Truly “believing women” would require hearing what we’re saying and then taking actions accordingly. And gee doesn’t that sound exhausting?
In this election world, ‘believe women’ means nothing.
