If I had to go on HSN I would DEFINITELY be day drunk.

And if Jessica Simpson was drunk, who the fuck cares? Let he or she who has never been day drunk cast the first stone.

Matt Damon, keep this kind of behavior up, and I will refuse to gay marry you when you finally meet me one day.

“I’m more into stealing from black musicians from the 30’s”

Peak Midge Ure was probably Ultravox. Anyone who says “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” will be stung on the testicles by wasps. And Bob Geldof.

I know she is an iconic figure, but seriously, she’s right - since when did she become an authority on rape? I don’t know why we expect our entertainers to be paragons of virtue and sages when they’re famous for being entertainers. Let’s worry when actual “authorities on rape” spout nonsense, not when aging rock stars

Maybe. I do think you’re right; time and place do matter. And I also think that PERHAPS I’d had Hynde on a pedestal.

“And maybe cut her a break.” This, a thousand times. The poor girl raped by the prep school bro was nice to him afterward, didn’t know how to behave. Most of us get that, and we don’t judge her for it. I think the same standard should be applied here.

No, date rape wasn’t really a thing back then. I mean look how many people get by with it now. Look at that stupid jury verdict in that asshole preppy’s case just the other day.

Just because we have an image of the 60s and 70s being enlightened doesn’t mean it was. We look back on it now and realize the kind of salient, important things that were going on then, but people were just like us now, living through it year to year.

It takes some of us “olds” a long time to grok the knowledge that it’s never your fault. We’ve been brainwashed by the patriarchy. I and wish I were joking.

We’re all victims of our time and place. Some of us can rise above, some of us find unhealthy ways to cope. This is hers...

Yes! They were like the feminist icons of my youth. Wtf happened?

Oh man. I’m a little bit older than Chrissie and I grew up with that same bullshit, victim-blaming message drilled into my head — and boy was it drilled into us. I got over it. Fwiw, I was also raped (back in the 80s) and I tried really hard to blame myself, but my therapist wouldn’t let me get by with that.

“Oh, come on! That’s just silly. If I’m walking around and I’m very modestly dressed and I’m keeping to myself and someone attacks me, then I’d say that’s his fault. But if I’m being very lairy and putting it about and being provocative, then you are enticing someone who’s already unhinged — don’t do that. Come on!

Honestly, this attitude is very common from people who have been assaulted. When I responded to hospital calls, they would spend a lot of time thinking and critiquing their own actions. It’s horrible to think, but it’s sometimes easier to blame yourself than to confront the reality that a gang of men decided to

He’s the only one in their families with any damn sense.

It’s amazing how incest and the molestation of FIVE girls was no problem, but adultery, THIS is where they draw the line.

First the argument about allowing women into the special forces was that they are too emotional....because periods!! They just aren’t strong enough mentally or physically to do the job. Now that they have proven themselves to be strong enough for the job, it’s the men who are delicate emotional little flowers. We
