I think it’s because, as the article says, a lot of his victims turned to drugs, alcohol and risky behavior after the abuse. It’s not surprising but society judges and dismisses certain victims based on that. It’s sad but we still hold onto the idea of the perfect victim and how people should behave after sexual abuse.

That would never in a million fucking years would be my kid. And if it was, I wouldn’t hire him a PR firm and encourage him to feign some kind of privileged victimhood.

Yes, he does deserve vitriol and it is a product of his current generation. Every teenager has a phone, every phone has a camera, and every camera is pointed at whatever drama it can capture. He was being an entitled little prick on camera and pretending that he was scared is not believable.

If Savannah sincerely wanted a balanced interview, she should have questioned this kid the same way women and girls have been questioned for their choices, especially by the Catholic Church!

Kids become adults at 18. If he is not quite there he will be soon. Time to gtfu.

Few things here, if you don’t want people to think you are racist, don’t were a MAGA hat. If you think, oh, that could be my son, you need to raise your children to be better people. And lets not forget, this whole thing happened because a Catholic high school decided to take a bus full of teenage boys to a protest

I’m still wondering how that fucker Dan Schneider hasn’t been hung out to dry in public. Losing his job is not enough if even a tenth of the rumors are true. 

By the way, that film ends with Brad Renfro’s character blackmailing a man into silence by threatening to tell people he is gay and a pedophile. In the book, Renfro’s character shoots the guy instead.

How has Bryan Singer skated by for so long? He is well overdue for his Weinstein/Spacey moment.

And we all wonder what happened to Brad Renfro. Who was the underage star of Apt Pupil.

Oh, holy shit, there’s a lot to unpack here.

That is probably one of the most comprehensive lists of household chores and child rearing tasks I have ever read. Have you ever shared this list with your partner? Not giving advice, I’m just curious how he reacted. I'm guessing defensively.

Praise. Or worse “why did you let me sleep in?” This phrase is no longer used in my house. Men. Like the nipples on their chests fucking useless.

I’m a gay dad, but my partner was the primary caregiver when we became parents, and I remember being freaked out the first time that I had to spend a few hours as a solo parent. My partner just told me to deal with it and went out to dinner with his friends. I got over it and now regularly have lots of one on one time

Yeah, my mind jumped to the Katy Perry thing, too: “Wait, didn’t they split up because he wanted kids right away?” It sounds to me like she dodged a bullet.

Men convincing women that they are just too “inept” to care for the children they helped bring into the world is one of the oldest and most successful long-cons ever invented.

My husband’s insidious version of this is to come staggering out of the bedroom on a Sunday late morning and beaming at me as I am up to my elbows in dishes and mooning “Thank you sooooo much for letting me sleep in!” To which I hiss, “I did not let you do shit, motherfucker.”

“I’m so wildly incompetent as a parent — indeed, more incompetent than most human beings age twelve and up — that I might literally kill my own child due to negligence! This is a thing I think is funny.” 

As a Dad, this really bothers me on a visceral level. Who WOULDN’T want to spend time with your kid?!? He’s YOUR KID. This will definitely impact them since “Dad doesn’t seem to care” which in turn will influence their parenting style which perpetuates this indifference.
