That’s why they’re called crazy in the first place. BECAUSE they know.

I can’t speak for the behaviour of these famous men, but...we had a pedophile in our family. There were things in his behaviour which, in hindsight, snapped into clear and hideous focus as “obvious” signs. I will never forget the second I realised he’d tried to groom my daughter. But they only seemed obvious in…

There are people who certainly knew- such as the people who showed up at the start of meetings only to skedaddle so he could make his moves - they knew. “Enabler” is an insufficient term when it is active complicity in a crime. Will those people point to that portion of their resume and claim to be a victim too, of…

This is what passes me off about everyone. Predators pick their victims based on their lack of believability. Children, the poor, women of color, women with mental health and substance abuse issues, the disabled. It’s gross that it takes the NYTimes, the New Yorker, a wealthy white man (Ronan Farrow), and dozens of…

The “crazy” ones ALWAYS know.

I have so many mixed feelings about her, but I would imagine she knows where a lot of bodies are buried in Hollywood.

Apparently nobody knew Harvey Weinstein.

Are we supposed to believe that Bob Weinstein had absolutely no indication that his brother a s business partner were toxic before the NYT article? Bullshit.

Not a woman in media, but a woman in academia. I have been here way longer than I want to be at this point and I found out THIS WEEK about two colleagues’ history of sexual harassment. So great. So glad we talk about this. So glad their careers are going well. That line ‘solidarity is not a status symbol’ gave me…

is this comment satire?

So they are telling them as blind items? What’s the point? I’m sure it’s cathartic but it will change nothing if they don’t name names. Even worse is that if the abuser recognises their story, they don’t have the protection that comes with publicity. He will retaliate in ways he could never get away with if they just…

The problem of false positives here is really not much of a problem. No one is being charged. No one is being fired. No one is facing any consequences off this list.

I’m a dude and I can’t claim to have been the best to the women in my life, and here’s my take.

How many of these stories are going to involve Terry Richardson?

“With over 45 stories and counting...”

See the very first comment to this article. Man making himself heard and telling us what “real” abuse is. It’s like fucking clockwork.

However we choose to overturn the white patriarchal apple cart, we are wrong.

“It’s really harmful to lump men who send ‘creepy DMs’ in with serial sexual assaulters,” one writer tweeted

None of these are the reason lists like these are garbage. Lists like these are garbage because, by design, they exclude women who have not built up the media connections necessary to get forwarded these links, or told about them at parties or in Slack channels or whatever. These are disproportionately young women,…

I wonder how many commenters here objecting to this list are dudes. I wonder how many of them commented right away to claim the most prominent space on this site for women. You know, that whole “control the narrative” mode. Interesting.
