Sadly, most of the comments I've read about this story and other victims show that Ms. Tarshis' fears were not unfounded. I imagine it would have been 1000x worse 20 years ago when Cosby was at the height of his fame and power.

People get all sentimental about old men. A lot of people thought Byron De La Beckwith should have been left alone and allowed to live out his days comfortably too.

No snark; I applaud this woman's courage in coming forward, even if it is decades after the assault. Despite all the nasty things that people are going to undoubtedly say about her, I hope she feels a sense empowerment in finally being able to share her story.

Cosby performed a couple of days ago in front of a sold-out crowd. He is not senile, as a commenter was posting all over Cosby articles, trying to suggest... I don't know, that he's not responsible and shouldn't be hounded?

To be a woman

I switched brands — from Hellmann's (reduced fat variety) to Anything Besides Hellmann's, because fuck these scumbag corporate bullies and their bullshit disingenuous nuisance lawsuit right it their collective ass.

I know, men have suffered too many years of indignity! It's time for them to take a stand!! Their salaries are much lower, the history books are just FULL of female accomplishments, no one knows about Albert Einstein but everyone talks about Rosalind Franklin, and I always hear "You throw like a BOY!" shouted in a…

I know this is supposed to make us all "ugh, kids, these days", but honestly it makes me wish their parents paid more taxes.

I got into trouble with my sister's neighborhood moms. One of them threw a model party complete with audition tapes for 6 yr olds. I taught my niece to say "I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS!" so she did to the camera, my sister thought it was hilarious but the other moms were pisssed!

You are on the right track. I caution you—do NOT raise the bar on your kids' party expectations. It's a one-way ratchet. There's no lowering the expectations once they've been raised.

I'm sorry, someone had a $20,000 10th birthday party? Geez, I thought getting an American Girl doll for your 10th birthday meant that your parents were going all out.

My kid is turning 5 this weekend. She gets cake and a piñata, plus 4 hours to run amok with her friends. That's pretty awesome! Fuck any further effort.

I think they were going something like this hyper-realistic, totally possible in real life, never-been-done-before-on-film kind of character.

I love the redundancy. Cool AND down-to-earth? Hot AND sexy??! Woah, slow down there, bro! You're asking for too much!

I wanted to speak

These are perfect little misogyny haikus. I'm hoping I'll be able to show these to my granddaughters/great-nieces to explain how much better they have it.

THIS. Just THIS. So much could be said about this. This is so little and it means so fucking much. I want to frame it and hang it on my wall.

"[Women] had equality," Delouis says about the 1950s, before Supreme Court cases legalized contraception and abortion. "But they had to be obedient to their husbands. That's where equality comes: where the mother stayed home and raised the children in God's light, and the husband worked, and everything was great.…

I wonder if you could get MIS&RY. That would be awesome.

I tweeted about it being desperate bullshit for Time to include this on their poll, and you wanna know what happened? A bunch of sad men that I don't know called me a bunch of really vulgar names. These are not my followers, these are losers looking for women to insult. Nope, we sure don't need any feminists around…
