Tit for tat. TMZ wanted her to answer questions. For a little help, she would have. So he OWED her help, if he wanted an interview.

And if you choose to shame a sexual assault victim for how she decided to handle it and why, that’s on you.

I hear you, sosgemini. I try to live by Mary Oliver’s wise words: “let the soft animal of the body love what it loves.” So much discourse is about whose ideology is “right,” and who is speaking their ideology correctly. Words matter, not for the sake of ideology, but for the sake of expressing one’s own humanity with…

I find myself in tears at how aggressive people are being over her statements. Despite her qualifying her understanding how others would react, folks want to condemn her for not handling matters as they’ve would which brings me to my second point. I had a very similar situation as Isabella and I too have chosen not…

I was abused as a kid by my dad. As an adult, after going through therapy, and getting time and distance from him and understanding what it’s like to be an adult, I understood where he came from and why he did it. I am still upset by his actions, and hurt, and betrayed, and consider him to be very wrong. At the same…

She says that she doesn’t have the heart for it., not that anyone else would be heartless to do it. She doesn’t want to do it. She does slip between generalization and particularity, although pronouns are getting slipperier than they used to be. But ultimately, when she talks about the act of naming an accuser having…

Right, but it’s a movement and movements are collective. So she’s commenting to some extent on the collective effort of the movement. Each individual woman should handle her own assault however feels most comfortable for her. Yes. 100%. But this is a collective effort as well and she is possibly giving some feedback…

Women have a right to have different opinions about the best way to handle sexual assault, both for themselves and as a collective movement. This idea that unless we’re all exactly on board for every detail is oppressive. She has every right to have a respectfully differing opinion on the movement and how it relates…

Please tell me you are under age 12.

I really enjoyed him in Life, from around 2007. Lewis, Sarah Shahi, Donal Logue, Adam Arkin, Christina Hendricks, Robin Weigert. I recommend it if you have an open space in your viewing. Two seasons. One thing it did well was show an entirely platonic but very loving relationship between Lewis and Shahi develop.

I’m pretty sure the problem is actually a matter of diplomacy. Harry and Meghan are friendly with the Obamas, and probably would have invited them if Obama were still President. But they don’t want Trump in attendance, and there’s no way to invite Barack and not the Cheeto Mussolini without causing an international…

Cheating on someone is not abusing them. It’s just not. Stop.

I completely agree. I feel sorry for what happened to him as a child. But I also feel sorry for the women who suffered the gaslighting and abuse he visited upon probably dozens of them in his life. But, how can a man truly claim real suffering, if he hasn’t visited more suffering on women? 

Are you really comparing getting raped as a child to being cheated on as an adult?

Why qualify this statement? It reads as though your response to this is “I feel bad for the 8 year-old boy, but worse for the adult women he later dated.” Yes, he cheated - but it does not sound like he raped anyone, so why qualify what sounds like a deeply traumatizing and lasting issue he bottled up as being lesser…

I was starting to wonder this very thing!

I was thinking grandma not Emma herself. They remind me of how my Grandma would praise all the arts and crafts stuff I made for her.

Monet was a fucking “finger painter and watercolorer”, dude.

What?

I like Cynthia Nixon as a person, but as far as I know she has no qualifications for what would be a challenging position for anyone in government. The solution to right-leaning celebrities in public office is not left-leaning celebrities in public office.
