I disagree, your logic is poor. “A and B” does not mean “If not A then not B.”

No. Being proud of her own success - at her career and at not getting pregnant - is not an implied criticism of other women.
Everyone condemning me on social media must have some evidence beyond her word—they must know me in a way that I don’t know myself—they must know her personally and be 100% certain to “out” my name despite a single word from me.
Following:
I’m just going to leave this here for anyone that thinks she made it all up:
“She is being praised and lauded to no end while people take joy in destroying me as the new villain of the week.”
Yeah, in his own words, career first, life second. If I had been falsely accused of something, I’d be putting my career on hold. The fact that his main concern is that she is damaging his career speaks volumes.
It’s entirely possible he cannot see his actions constitute rape. Or abuse.
He really probably believes that he did no wrong. In his mind, they both made mistakes, they both hurt each other.
“It is unfortunate that today it’s becoming more and more the norm for an accusation to be taken as fact and the sentence carried out immediately by the anonymous public.”
The severity of her accusations are false and extremely harmful. I’m not sure she realizes the irreparable harm of her actions.
As far as denials go that’s some pretty weak sauce. I just think that if I were accused of raping someone and I hadn’t raped anyone, my response would be less “Think of how this is affecting my public image” and more getting on rooftops and screaming to anyone who will listen “FUCK NO, I DID NOT RAPE ANYONE!” You…
In defense of high-brow films that no one sees, it’s not like the best of those get many nominations either, and when they do they end up loosing to something more familiar. The actual boundary-pushing inde stuff that ends up redefining how and what movies are made in later years goes largely unacknowledged at the…
Good.
You’re wrong and you totally aren’t understanding what I’m saying.
Guys, can I point out something? “Iran” is the Farsi pronunciation of “Aryan”. Iranians are “white”. Oh, sure, Persians have been conquered by Arabs enough times that they’ve picked up a darker skin tone, by and large- like Sicilians and Spaniards. Who are also “white”.
It already happened. Dude’s name is Cale Hartmann.
Given the indictment rate (let alone the conviction rate) for rape, in many cases social media shaming has more real consequences than going through the justice system.
But sadly, that doesn’t happen until people start openly talking about it and pushing it to happen. I agree that it shouldn’t be so hard to get rapists and abusers to face the criminal consequences but it is.
I don’t know her or her work but considering that he did the same thing to another woman he dated before Beth Stelling, chances are he’s done that to pretty much every woman he’s been with and the bastard deserves to be in jail instead of having his identity protected. I’m glad she found the courage to leave and to…
