Like, maybe this is why she apparently needs an emotional support animal?

Listen, I know that you think you were making a helpful observation of how things “really work”.

You rock. I love that artsy article.

I kind of love her as troll queen of the resistance though. Just the fact of her existence drives so many people insane.

I am so relieved to see more people writing first person accounts of being hospitalized. There is so much we could improve, but people just have a hard time thinking about health care they haven’t experienced first hand, either as a patient or with a loved one that you helped through the process of illness/injury and…

You are suggesting that marketing is more important than reality.

I think you’ve written something really insightful here. I only want to add that I recently read some articles about how part of the charter school movement was driven by the fact that the Catholic Church ran out of nuns and had to start paying wages and offering healthcare, which lead to their lobbying rush. There is…

Thank goodness you are here to make more room for more unfairness instead of fighting for more fairness and access to resources. Whatever would we do without you, Marketing Hero?

Wait, they intentionally made the Super Bowl be in the city where they have held this conference for years?

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SAFE WORD IS THAT YOU AGREE TO IT IN ADVANCE SO IT AIN’T RAPE. That’s what fucking consent is. But I fully believe that you have no idea how to tell the difference between fantasy and reality and you are probably a rapist.

I think you are right. I’m not sure how to fix it, but our system definitely privileges the accused over the victim. The accused gets the presumption of innocence and the victim doesn’t get an equivalent voice in the courtroom. Their testimony is at a disadvantage because there is no presumption of credibility: there…

What people like Greer seem unable to grasp is that #metoo isn’t really about rape. It’s about the democratization of testimony. For nearly all of our history, women have functioned as props in men’s stories. We are evidence that a man is a nice man or not a nice man. We are accessories in narratives about morality…

It is really, really unnerving. I believe that we are on the cusp of becoming a hive mind. That’s what social media, especially Facebook, was tapping into. Human beings evolved to and are groomed to respond to what other human beings are interested in and doing. That’s how we survived and built the civilizations we…

Why don’t you know that the law specifically says sexual assault is defined by the lack of explicit consent?

I would really like for more people to recognize that what is described in Grace’s piece actually fits the definition for sexual assault.

Stop helping them erase the things that we have said. You have no standards for his behavior. All of your feedback makes it her fault that she didn’t make herself to a 34 year old man who wins awards for writing about relationships between human beings.

They will always find a reason to discredit women’s testimony and exploit our pain.

She verbally told him to stop.

Oh my god.

That. We are groomed to accept shitty allies who stop short of *real assault*.
