I think I get what you’re saying. It’s like all those think pieces that have been published since the 2016 election about the decline of community in this country (whether it’s fewer people going to church, or how small towns have been decimated by a changing economy, or how people aren’t involved in their…

That made me laugh out loud. I’m so glad Lena Dunham has been relegated to the cultural dustbin. I didn’t think she could be any more privileged and tone deaf but then she made those disgustingly racist comments about Odell Beckam, Jr. at the Met Ball.

No one is calling him saint and for the record, he’s lost two children and his first wife and to use those tragedies to impugn his character is unnecessarily cruel, crass, and the same tactics Trump and his ilk use. There’s much to criticize about Biden but stooping so low isn’t going to make anyone on this thread…

A lawyer who worked with victims of domestic violence nonetheless.

Thank you for the starting point! 

I think you’re absolutely right- sexual violence and how you react to it, has become another victim of our culture wars. We just live in this hyper-polarized world where everything gets taken out of context or your position on an issue becomes a mark on your character or what type of person you are. We need to move…

I recently re-watched “Bring It On” and it is a cinematic masterpiece. This is the hill I’m willing to die on.

I was reading an article that interviewed a feminist criminal defense attorney before these allegations came out (I really wish I remembered her name or the article but this year has been such a clusterfuck already) and she was addressing the inherent problems and naivete of “Believe Women” “Believe All Women.” She…

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I don’t think people realize how truly stacked the system is against the criminally accused. We just see people like Weinstein and Bill Cosby on TV who can afford to throws gobs at money at a defense and don’t realize they’re the exception not the rule. I can’t count the number…

There was literally no point to your comment other than to prove my point. If you want to have a productive conversation about the issues the Democratic Party, progressives, liberals, people on the left, or whatever label you choose are having because of this allegation, I’m more than happy to have it. But this…

Oh wow, that’s just disgusting. I feel like the old axiom of preferring 100 guilty people go free rather than incarcerating a single innocent person has gone by the wayside. What bothers me the most is that this carceral feminist approach to sex assault and domestic violence allegations mimics the tough on crime…

I’m going to get a lot of hate for saying this but I think the reason a lot of people are bending over backwards to believe Ms. Reade is because the right has effectively weaponize “Believe women” to paint progressives as hypocrites and I think most people could have seen that coming a mile away. Unfortunately, issues…

Are you fucking kidding me? Please take another shot at smearing criminal defense attorneys who represent people accused of sex assault when you know absolutely nothing about the law. If you bothered to do the bare minimum of your job, you would know that defense attorneys cannot just bring up evidence of how the…

Like I’ve said multiple times, if the claims in the Politico story were the only issues with her credibility then it wouldn’t be enough. But the fact that she has a reputation for being dishonest goes directly to her credibility- you may not give it a lot of weight but it’s a factor a lot of people, including me, are…

I read some of The Daily Mail’s articles about her when they announced they were stepping down and it struck me as the British version of Fox News- it clearly caters to a conservative audience who can’t handle a changing world and tells them what they want to hear. I don’t necessarily agree with some of the statements…

Let’s not forget SoulCycle’s owner held a Trump fundraiser last year. While I feel genuinely sorry for all the employees who lost their jobs/are going to lose their job, I’m not sorry to see this company or any other company that supports this administration go under. 

Did somebody remind Don Jr. that his father bragged about going to the backstage area of the Miss TEEN USA pageant because he wanted to see teenage girls in their underwear? If the pedophile shoe fits...

“You’re gonna die now!” I wish my city had a hammock district. 

I’m glad people are finally realizing Elon Musk is a fucking asshole. Remember a couple years ago when everyone thought he was going to save humanity and he was everywhere, including a disgustingly sycophantic episode of The Simpsons? Barf.

I don’t think the Politico story was muckraking and isn’t setting a precedent that will discourage victims to come forward. The Politico story wasn’t about disgruntled former acquaintances that were rehashing every petty grievance they have with Ms. Reade. It was about specific people to whom Ms. Reade had lied and…
