It’s ok, you don’t have to say anything. It’s appalling that this happened to you, and other women. Are you ok now? Do you have a support network?

Last time I checked, the definition of marriage has changed at least once every few decades to progress from ownership of women to the brief illusion that it was a romantic lifetime commitment and now to the point where you need to get married if you want your family to be protected under the law.

You’d have to stop the airplanes that bring most of them here of course. So those walls need to be a few thousand feet higher.

Yes! And also the power of peer pressure when a social group has no tolerance for sexual assault. I think that hat makes se a husband I’ve difference in the lives of the writer and her assailant after the fact.

This is amazing. It really brings home to me how important comprehensive sex education is, especially the parts about CONSENT!

lol, everything* is intrinsically worthless.

Looks like textbook fucking harassment to me. No slip on that goddamn slope, not at all.

Yeah, these twins definitely went beyond a normal twin bond and into codependency.

You are so, so right about the sustainability hypocrisy but I gotta say that many twins, including myself, function perfectly fine as individual human beings. Those twins were the worrrrsssstt, INDEED.

You are a little bit confused here. First, in the US - you provide your client the best defense your abilities allow. Second, in this particular case, it was a civil suit and the attorney was representing the school - not the pervert.

1. His signature on a piece of paper is about as effective as a piece of paper known as a protection order. Which is to say, not at all.

He reportedly harassed Hayley Atwell into trying to starve herself to lose weight, and when Emma Thompson heard about it she told him that if he didn’t back off she would quit. Apparently it worked, and I wouldn’t think of Emma Thompson as a super Hollywood heavyweight, so it’s a shame more people didn’t stand up to…

Oh, Matt Damon is totally a jackass. Sorry! :(

The list was of things that aren’t inherently racist but suggest that the person is. A Duck Dynasty shirt I think falls into the inherently racist category.

Perhaps... but the Louvre shouldn’t have accepted if they didn’t think it had artistic merit. The problem is that we’re seeing this more and more—crowds of people clutching their pearls over one thing or another, and museums pulling works of art because of it. Whether the art is good or bad is not for me to decide…

You should listen to the You Must Remeber This podcast! The most recent season did a comparison of Jane Fonda and Jean Seeberg and spent a lot of time discussing Fonda’s image pre-activism, the public reaction when she began to get involved in racial justice/anti-Vietnam movements, and her infamous trip to Vietnam.
