Trashy? Yeah. You could say that. He didn't have anything else to wear?

Sexism comes down to automatically believing she was lying. That's the default, and despite the fact that the stories against her have now been completely discredited, that doesn't get wide play.

"Why must we speculate about rape?"

Yeah, I love it how every racist/sexist/homophobic/islamophobic dickwad out there is desperately trying to recast "I'm an asshole" as "I'm JUST being honest, okay?"

I suspect there's an element of, "Hey, I had to get married and have kids, look at those young hussies getting away with it!" too. At least when I was at counter protests. LA was unique in that there was this one group which had a lot of young dudes protesting——-and I'm pretty sure abortion wasn't on their mind so…

He had plenty of opportunity to show some backbone already but he ditched his liberal trappings to appeal to racist Tea Baggers who think that if they destroy the economy and the environment that God will provide.

Keep in mind, Taylor's one of those guys who rails about political correctness——-always a sure sign of an asshole in general——-and who has an obsession with the way people dare to look at the evidence and say, "Gee, I think this accused rapist is in fact guilty." The fact that she's black probably frosts his shorts,…

Oh. Gee. Wow. What great advice. That's SO possible to do in this economy, where the average job hunter is unemployed for forty weeks, and the there are at least five or six applicants for every job. Apparently, in self-righteous libertarian land, there's jobs everywhere and it's only the strong survive. But you take…

Er..no. I really don't understand why everybody's making a fuss. It was really the truth, too; if he had been the Sooper Sekkret Spy that he said he was, he just wouldn't have been working that job, living that life, or acting that way. It SURE felt GOOD, though. My God.

"There are tons of guys who don’t harass girls in the workplace, I really don’t have an idea why you can’t see that."

Yeah, God forbid a woman blow off steam about sexism in a sexist world when there are mens' feelings to be guarded, even while so many of them sit on their hands or blame the victim! Oh, no, what about TEH MENZ?!

Him too! You could see him starting to giggle.

Unfortunately, I have a really bad temper and a sharp tongue. Or fortunately. Most of the time I just explode, partially out of frustration. '

Your thesis that you came here to troll, after boasting at Gawker how special your snowflake self was compared to those bitchez over here? Would that be the one?

Oh. My. God. I love that woman. I love, love, love her. Where's the fan club?

Oh, I saw one dude who had a sign—-something about English—-and then he concluded with a less-triumphant-than-he-realized "MORANS". I saw a sign supporting McCain that boasted proudly of being a "MAVRICK."

I'd be willing to bet this illiterate moron would approve of that sentiment, too. She doesn't seem to think she's said anything wrong at all.

But people tend to go after, not the harasser, but the woman. That's how determined people are to blame the victim, especially if they like the guy. Even here, people are going, "Why didn't she—-?" Because too many women know that if you report, it's not the guy that's going to come under scrutiny, it's you.

Because people never criticize the guy. They always criticize the woman for 'making a fuss' or 'being a troublemaker' or anything else that basically reveals it's not the sexism that they care about, it's the fact that some woman stood up and made it impossible for them to pretend it wasn't happening right in front…
