Lord, the excuses made for what this woman did. Her defenders always want to bring up internet death threats Seibold gets to make sure you know who the real victim is after she got caught falsely accusing an innocent man of rape and collaborating with a bunch of racist cops using racist tropes to convict him. And… Read more

The premise that freshly traumatized 18 year old Ms Sebold manipulated by the racist police and racist justice system is valid. But for decades, she knew she was not sure. Yet, she let that discomfort go unexamined. She ignored the disturbance in her survivor narrative through her book deal and was prepared to see… Read more
I think Sinema and other do this as a distraction but you’re right. It’s a similar situation to why I don’t buy at all the “physical appearances don’t matter” from many left feminists because as soon as it’s a horrible republican who falls in the category, there is body shaming to the max. It really feels like they… Read more
You are free to give yourself permission to set aside your principles if they prevent you from attacking the object of your scorn as completely as you might like. Once you have set those principles aside though, you don’t really get to expect that anyone will pretend you still have them.
....,. I don’t like republicans current crop republicans they are useless trash but I don’t agree with this take. Women still aren’t being taken seriously so using her clothing in a take down...I don’t like
I expect “he’s leaving, you can come over” would have the same effect on pretty much any sexual orientation, at least one involving a monogamous couple.
There is more than one type of power imbalance. Oscar winning, “powerful” Black actors and actresses are still able to get disrespected. Shonda Rhimes couldn’t even get an extra pass to Disney world from the network where she literally had a whole night of programming named after herself. Read more
The “I’m tired” genre of opinioneering is starting to feel so dated to me. Even people I know who were avid consumers of those takes 2-3-4 years ago are starting to get...tired...of them.
Because you should never, ever, ever, ever speak to the cops or anyone else about a case in which you’re a suspect without a lawyer, ever. Even if you’re innocent and think you can explain your way out of it. Do not do it. This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen (caveat that it’s a long video, but it’s well worth…
Right.
It’s almost like newspapers are supposed to present all the facts of a story and let you make your own opinion rather than curate the information and present only what fits their authorial bias...
Playing another trick from the book of white female victimhood. Big bad brown guy abused her and forced her to defraud investors and mistreat her employees and lie through her teeth. Let’s see if the court buys this excuse. Anyway, I am more intrigued by what white feminists on Twitter make of this. Should she be… Read more

This Chris/Lizzo situation is weird. Sorry if this was reversed where a man was doing this to a woman it would not be okay. This should not be praised.
She’s not a villain. If Disney needs to change the terms of the contract because of the circumstances, they can approach Johansson’s camp and seek to make changes to the contract that she can live with. Or they can honor the contract they signed. But they breached the contract, plain and simple, and apparently did… Read more
Yeah, I’m thrown off by how everyone seems to be saying , “GREAT! This is fantastic news!” It is not fantastic news. It sucks for her teammates, it sucks for the people who could have gone in her place, and quitting mid-competition is really not something to celebrate. We can be compassionate about the decision, but… Read more
