Way to cherry-pick the most innocuous of the 7 pics. No, it doesn’t take a decoder ring. I’m sure any person who studies body language (man or woman) could see what’s going on in those pictures as well: the way she’s angling her lower body back and away from him in several images, covering her chest with a bent arm in…
SERIOUSLY. (And I’m so sorry you’re going through all of that right now. My father is a sociopath who is thankfully in prison right now (for FAR too short a sentence for raping a 10 year old girl multiple times, but hey - that’s our “justice system” for you - let rapists out in several years while good people sit…
“That’s why articles like this irritate me. I understand that some people giggle when they’re uncomfortable, but that’s something they need to train themselves out of. The sociopath does not care if they’re uncomfortable. The sociopath probably assumes they like it because, hey, he’s the greatest thing in the galaxy…

Thank you so much for sharing this powerful essay, Danielle. The giggling, the incident “confessions” liberally seasoned with humor - all unconscious coping behavior I recognize in myself going back to when I was a young girl.
The thing is, if women felt secure enough to have these conversations with the men in their lives (not just ones they’re intimate with, but with friends and family members, too) and the men were willing to really hear what was being said, you’d all realize that every single woman you know has been sexually harassed,…

No worries. I meant to post an emoji with my reply so you’d know it didn’t bother me 😉
My post was sarcasm - I know Jan would have no problems with these Fox Anchors, that’s why I posted all of the pics: to show the hypocrisy and the lie in her “I don’t see color, this is just unprofessional” statement.
I agree with much of what you say in your comment, but those of us who are familiar with Anita Hill’s crucial role in feminist history would definitely take issue with this assertion:
I don’t think there is a statue of limitation for rape
I honestly couldn’t tell when I was choosing/posting those pics if I’d repeated any of the same woman more than once! 😂
Yeah, due to the nature of sexual assault and rape and what it does to people’s psyches for so long, I don’t think there should be any statute of limitations....
Exactly. There’s been so much conflating of sexual assault with sexual harassment and it just serves to downplay the issue and confuse people even more. All reporting on the topic needs to be precise and accurate with its wording.
