I find it hard to trust women who don’t have female friends. I would be miserable without my girlfriends. Female friendships are important for mental health.

Imagine being so fragile that you think the STATUE OF LIBERTY is somehow a liberal conspiracy.

Good on ye, girl! Don’t let that attorney push you around with his tired old rape-apologist bullshit tactics.

THIS. You don’t just start sexually assaulting people with one of the biggest stars at the time. You start with the no ones that you can get away with it because they are too afraid to make waves. He has done this before. I am waiting to see if anyone will come forward once this is over.

That’s the best part of this being all dragged out in public— her LEGIONS of young fans, who desperately need real-world exemples of how girls can assert themselves and call things out, will now have a model for this behavior.

I hate it when men respond to these stories with anecdotes about the women in their life who took no shit. You can be a quick-thinking badass and still freeze in situations where you’re being assaulted. It has nothing to do with how strong, smart or brave you are.

New mad respect for Taylor Swift. She gave excellent answers to all those questions where the lawyer was trying to put the onus on her to have done something about it, rather than the perpetrator who shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Bravo!!!!

And it looks like she’s clearly pulling away from him. He looks so fucking smarmy and proud of himself, fuck that guy.

I completely understand her reaction. I have reacted to similar violations by freezing or continuing to go through the motions of whatever I was doing like nothing was happening. It’s a combination of shock and the way women are socialized.

As much as I wish this wouldn’t happen to anyone I am so glad this happened to her because she has the clout and the power to fight back. If he would do it to her, how many low level just starting out artists has he done it to and they felt they didn’t have the power to fight back?

My favorite:

I am not a huge fan of Taylor Swift as an artist, but boy, she is just doing this trial perfectly. She has all of my respect for being so fierce and giving no fucks.

I like that they tried to make the fact that she acted like a professional after the fact some indication that she didn’t mind. Look at the picture. She’s a fucking pro. This guy’s scum.

Mueller’s lawyer M. Gabriel McFarland asked Swift whether she was “critical” of her then bodyguard, Greg Dent, for not intervening. Swift responded, “No, I am critical of your client for sticking his hand under my skirt and grabbing my bare ass.”

The first couple of milliseconds, I thought it must be a mistake

“when she saw the sign, she attempted to locate a store manager, but was unable to find one.”

This is what “What About Our Daughters” had to say about it on Facebook:

Of the final three, I was surprised that Eric was easily the most likable, since he had such a rocky start on the show. Peter was charming at first, but in the last few episodes he seemed like he did not want to be there (like this whole episode he barely touched her . . . he was doing this weird barely brushing her…

That proposal in hurricane conditions was ridiculously bad. Can’t ABC get something written into the contracts with these locations about finding an alternate site if the first preference is going to do neither the production nor the location any favors? I get the romance of the whole “top of a castle and bells start…

I always thought Peter was playing her to become the Next bachelor, but after watching him knowing that this is three months out, I take it back.
