Why do these criminal perverts get payouts? Their actions contravene any workplace’s anti-harassment and basic code of conduct policies. They can be fired for cause. I’m sick of hearing about these asses getting $20+ million for sexually harassing and traumatizing women at the workplace and then agreeing to sit at…

Keep in mind the time line for the Nixon resignation: over two years from the Watergate break-in, a year and nine months from his triumphant reelection, to his resignation to avoid impeachment.

I always end up next to that person who starts trailing off and you think they are going to stop talking but just as you start to open you mouth they start talking again. I usually look like this...

I still don’t understand how anyone could vote for Trump after that tape came out. How can you pretend to give a shit about your wife or daughter or mother or any woman if you didn’t do anything in your power to keep this creep out of office?

The media corporations are getting ratings hikes and tax cuts.

Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? I mean, the mainstream media, that he attacks so prolifically, was a huge factor in getting him elected. Breathlessly repeating his every lie is just another form of promotion. I’m assuming that the big corporations that own the media are getting something out of this, though,…

Our daughter is 21 now (just shared a couple of bottles of wine with her over Thanksgiving), and we talked alot about this point. We never forced her to do this hug thing, because my wife and I both have horrible memories of hugging strange people who were introduced as family but in some cases were not. It was always…

I started looking into my ancestry a few years back. I’d always assumed my European heritage was rather recent, but come to find out on both sides of my family folks had basically been mixing from jump, consensually and non-consensually. I was shocked that I was able to trace one line back to 16th century England,…

When I’m around other people of African descent who have their culture and language, it makes me so sad and angry. I had a guy ask me what my background was (he was Finnish) and i had to explain that they didn’t keep records during the slave trade, so very few African Americans know their ancestral roots. And for a…

Pedophiles will flock to where there is access to kids - Catholic church, coaching, boy scouts, teaching. These orgs need to do a better job of vetting candidates and establishing reporting procedures. Also no gymnast should have been alone with a male doctor, there should have always been someone else in the room.

Same. I’ve been completely blind-sided SO MANY times by men. Thought we were just having a friend;y chat. Then something really forward or perverse or off-color is said...I wonder what is happening. Recount the story to people closest to me...even THEY say, “Quantocks, you’re just too *nice* to people”. Which, 1) I’m…

I know what you mean. I’ve had so many unwanted advances and random sexual comments that I’m not even attracted to men very often anymore. I’m more likely to be attracted after some level of buddy-buddy trust has been established, but getting there before it gets weird is rare. Even the “feminist” longtime guy friend…

I feel you and also BEEN THERE. People with power will throw you under a train and then blow up a file folder with shit about this, that, and every other kind of BS they can think of to fill it. Cause they got to PROVE you needed to be under a train AND that you deserved it (also see: The Narcissist’s Prayer)

This happened to me, not as explicit as wanting to see me naked, but grossly ‘romantic’, inappropriate, and scary because we were the only two people in the office, late in the evening. And later on when I gave my notice to resign (he was my boss) he treated me like shit, and after I left I found out that he lied to…

THANK YOU! I should not have had to scroll this far to get to the right answer.

Why aren’t white people tired of seeing the next generation make a permanent record of their shitty behavior? Where are the white community leaders to set a positive example for their children?

I remember when that infamous video was released a year ago. I thought Trump was done at that moment. Yet here we are with a moronic monster in the White House.
