Oh, my FAVORITE two responses are “Get over yourself” and “You loved it”. Is there anything more diminishing? I’m sorry this happened to you. And so young too. Goddamn it all.

Thank you <3
Sorry this is long. I think it’s a completely complicated issue, and unless you have had it done to you, or knew someone like HW, you (not personally, in general) won’t possibly understand the mindset and the way you try to forget it. Or think that, yes, ok, this guy a creep to women but he can’t possibly be actually…
Just want to give you extra stars for how on point this comment is. Amazing. This should be quoted forever, “We smile at predators to protect ourselves and they tell the world we’re having a good time.” Yes, this has happened to me (and many) zillions of times. I had a horribly abusive boss (who did not sexually…
This is probably off point, but even now in my late twenties I still feel like there is often so much bargaining even in consensual sexual situations with some men
Oh, this happens to me all the time, too. A few years ago I spoke to my father about something he made me do (not sexual or harmful, just a scary physical swimming challenge) when I was very young, and he vehemently denied that anything like that and would never do that to a young girl. Yeah—he may not remember it…
My immediate family members said and did a whole lot of awful shit to me when I was a kid so much so we not exactly tight as adults. I don’t want to be.
I don’t personally care whether people feel compelled to post #MeToo or not. However you feel about posting that is part of your experience, just like your decision to press charges, or remain silent, or tell HR, or find a new job, or whatever.
Watching from the sidelines (I’m not on social media, but of course #MeToo), this seems like one hour after it launched, it was just a slumber party of where everyone was just sharing “the worst thing that ever happened to ME”. Cathartic, but hollow. Most social media-based movements are hollow. It’s too convenient to…
Nothing will come of it. It will change nothing.
Yo. My eyes just rolled so far back into my head with your comment. Step outside your own narrative?! Bleagh. We’re talking about calories. If you’re so sensitive that you need the world to shield you from calories, you need some real help. Do you get upset when the calories are posted on menus? Do you get upset when…
He’s a guy of ordinary intelligence who’s under the impression he’s brilliant due to a combination of straight white dude and knowing a lot of people dumber than him. It’s one of the most irritating personality types.
I think Lea Michele elicits the bitter whoosh in all of us.
Ha, I am so uncool I almost called my little niece to verify that I was using “thirsty” right. It was a risk.
I hope that’s a waterbed because Lea Michele seems excessively thirsty.
Emma Watson was one of the many Hollywood people who disappointed me (LOL like they care) by signing the Polanski petition. But when people pointed out to her why that wasn’t good, especially given her activism on issues like sex trafficking, she withdrew her signature and apologised, admitting she’d signed it on…
I know that other things in this story are more important, but I always go nuts when fat sacks of shit think women who aren’t skin and bones are disgusting pigs.
She knew. Dench knew. There is zero possibility that these powerful women didn’t know.
Rose McGowan is absolutely right. In the NY Times piece, they talk about how women would double up to go into Weinstein’s office, and I thought, where the fuck are the men??? Time to name and shame, ALL OF YOU WHO STOOD BY AND KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING ARE FAIR GAME.
I don’t think there was enough context here.
