I’ve had it with men who pretend humor and humiliation are the same thing

The fact that people STILL think that something like “moral high ground” means something is absolutely ridiculous.

You know what will happen if Al Franken resigns? Nothing. It won’t lead to a wave of resignations on the Republican side, led by Trump. No; Franken will be the only one to resign, and there the Democrats will be, one vote and one strong voice down in the Senate.

So are these just real women, that have honestly been assaulted or worse, that are just being used as political pawns by the right and the left

In short the Republicans got it right, if you as a public figure are accused of sexual assault it is in your (and your party’s) interests to deny, deny and deny until the heat dies down regardless of guilt.

Franken must resign. It hurts to lose a Dem... but it hurts even more that he did this in the first place. And if we protect him - no matter how much less his actions seem when compared to others - then we have no principals to stand upon when it comes to condemning a person like Roy Moore. Power corrupts it seems.…

And an adverb beyond “very”.

Snopes debunked that last week.

Does that count for everybody or just men? I’ve read accounts that the photo was staged and that the woman in question was in on the “joke,” as it were. A photo of her grabbing the ass of a man she’s seemingly performing with has since emerged. It’s juvenile, crude behavior no matter who’s doing it. I know what it…

“I think everyone is pretty capable of understanding that encompasses a varying degree of behavior”

I don’t think Franken should be burned at the stake for being stupid. Don’t we want men to learn and understand why we don’t find that kind of ‘humor’ funny? Don’t we want them to understand that it is belittling and humiliating? I strongly suspect that Franken totally gets that now, as do a great many other men.…

We are painting everyone with the same brush. Spacey was fired, and faces possible criminal charges. Moore needs to be not elected with possible criminal charges. Franken needs to be censured with a mechanism for removal if it happens again. The thing is, while it’s not as bad as rape or pedophelia, we also need…

Thank you for this. I’ve been asking the same questions but it seems that some people are incapable of stepping out of their extreme, entrenched positions where everything is black and white. That isn’t going to help either, if anything it will just fuel the backlash.

I hesitate to be too quick to agree with you, because I don’t know if I do or if I’m just happy to hear someone defending him articulately. As a liberal, it’s nice to hear a good argument for our side.

I have my dead boyfriend’s dead father’s ashes in my attic and I too am stuck on what is the proper move

Lol. Agreed. Made me laugh because on my jog today I saw this. #random things I see on my keep fit regime.

Send them to your favorite gop politician on their birthday.

I’m so glad to read this because glitter is really, really bad. Thousands of years from now, they will be trying to figure out why we were constantly spraying ourselves and our children with a toxic dust that also clearly injured our pets, waterways and soil.

I have this tiny little baggie filled with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” glitter meant to be placed in a card so they scatter when the card is opened. I cannot imagine what possessed me to buy them. They follow me. They haunt me. I have no occasion to use them (why would I want to increase someone’s vacuum duties?).
