Welcome to our world, men. We’ve had to censor ourselves, be judged, be cast out. We are cornered, stalked, told we’re worthless, told we’re shit. And usually that’s just for doing our jobs. I was laid off from a vet clinic with 5 minutes’ notice because “My accountant says I can’t afford you anymore”. This was right…

Well, to be fair witches are real (I’ve met them, they’re cool and they’ve led our Wiccan ceremonies) but when they were hunted i dare say the reason and consequence could not have been more different than now. Did I mention my favorite Wiccan priestess was threatened (and her newborn baby’s life was threatened) by…

XTC frontman. What are the chances THIS guy’s never assaulted women?

I’m confused. Might even a guilty verdict have any impact? What would happen to a President? Legal experts please let me add, my question is regarding our CURRENT state of affairs, not the normal protocol we’re used to.

Agreed. As I said, I don’t thank republicans. (I did want to underscore that misogynist slurs against conservative women are still misogynist against all women).

Biologist here. Please name a few of these groups benefiting from hunters’ generous donations and provide sources.

Well, she lost, but she’s not dead. I’m up for a second go. 🙂

I’m in a the so-called “nice section” of a a lower income city. I live down the road from a daycare and a middle school. Our streets are ultra-walkable and there are loads of little children as well as older kids strolling in the road after school. And there are speeders. People blasting through stop signs. Criminals…

Am I stopping you from doing that somehow?

I don’t really care, I’m not thanking them on behalf of all women. I’m thanking them for opening my eyes. And for breaking away from being a harassment apologist. I still blame them for their sexism but I am underscoring the need to call out sexism against every woman, even Republican women. 

If I’m going to thank any Republican for starting the conversation I’ll be thanking Megyn Kelly. Though I won’t thank her, I also won’t use misogynist words or ideas to tell her off.

Hillary Clinton is an incredible elephant advocate. She also had a provision in her environmental plan to require humane farming. If you haven’t yet, go to her campaign site and read in full (including pdfs and links) her plans to use military funds to stop poaching. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/radical-cons…

Holy shit. Thank you for this information.

Even if he doesn’t remember, the woman always will. That’s the problem. I know your point was that he could not possibly “get ahead of it”. But even if he managed to obliterate it from his memory, he is still 100 percent responsible and needs to pay the price. You say the expectation is too much. But if he is just…

Because waiting till you’re caught means you’re not actually sorry, no matter what you suddenly decide to say.

You’re better than me. I’m not up for forgiveness at all. My bar used to be pretty low but now Anthony Bourdain and Tom Collichio have published essays about the topic. Bourdain calls on all men to “Ask yourself where you screwed up” and both came out in their essays admitting to making misogynistic remarks at women.…

This would have been so much better had he come forward BEFORE he was forced to. I guarantee you, he had help from legal and image managers composing that “apology”. What should he do? I have to consider it more but no matter what, Franken, it’s not good enough.

Bullshit. Sorry but we will not be distracted by this “It’s not rape” trope. What he said is inexcusable, and very unlikely said in isolation.

Just that tweet, and honestly I may have ignored it if I hadn’t previously (like, years ago) gotten the sense that something was amiss with him. I thought he spoke about (and to) Secretary Clinton with overall respect. But I’ve lived in New England my whole life and Vermont Socialists have a mild “Skeptic” MRA flavor…

Yet another man who I’ve always found makes my skin crawl. Ladies, trust your instincts. Also, Aimee, can we please investigate THIS?
