At worst, it’s poor spreadsheet design. OK, we’ll put Rape and Creepy DMs on separate worksheet tabs.

I was here way back when she was a commentor, then writer and then gone. The tone of this article is no surprise. All of these stories by writers defending the status quo with the usual bunk about the appropriate channels for reporting an incident are well aware of the reality of those channels and what pursuit of…

My guess is that it was a combo to warn women ahead of time if they were going to be ineracting with someone and to also keep track of ammoins—if a lot of things piled up the women could maybe decide there were enough of them to come forward and be believed, since it takes like 20 or so before it’s taken seriously.

Holy shit, it’s that Erin Ryan? Wow. Her lack of understanding and sympathy is mind-blowing. Has she never actually tried to get justice for a rape? I mean, I hope she’s never needed to, but goddamn, even when the cops are nice about it, they’re just about useless. And that’s if you’re lucky. Adding your harasser’s…

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.

“So what is the “Shitty Media Men” list for? Is it for justice or for catharsis? As it stands, it provides neither. If women who have been sexually harassed or abused want justice, they should pursue judicial channels. If the incident is criminal, they should report it to the police; if it’s something that occurs at…

Of course a man is the first to weigh in with “no proof, no story.” Of course.

How is this relevant to the actual list being discussed? The document was never published, nor was it intended to be.

Thanks, I was 16 and had just graduated from high school, and it was the graveyard shift.. I learned lessons that have stuck with me til this day.

Camp counselor. More specifically, my camp counselor who was also my lifeguard certification trainer, who somehow always ended up saying “I’ll partner with wordsonawire, everyone else pair up!”

I was 13

Swim coach (and I’m not a swimmer), police officer, professor, teaching assistant, professional drunk outside a bar (I was 12), random guy who harassed me for blocks in the middle of a city once (no one helped) and who I escaped by going into a car rental place and finding a sympathetic employee who let me slip out…

Two broken toes. I don’t know what he told told the Dr. or anyone else in the Dept. I said nothing.

Long ago, a man apologized to me for his friend’s drunken verbal assault on me the night before. He said something I have held in my heart all of my life, “A drunken man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts.”

I tend to agree, but I think you lose the right to make the distinction when your redemption story includes getting sober for your family and your career and then patently ignores any other parties hurt in the past. I can’t say or assume that he didn’t make amends during his healing but it would seem there are women…

Hopefully it kicks off a huge domino run of gross-guy takedowns. The only respectable authorities left by the end will be, like, Shonda Rhimes and Elizabeth Warren.

Burton then the 2nd woman then the other person who says a bunch of her friends have similar stories? This looks exactly like the beginning of every other outed predator’s downfall. Hopefully it drags his creep-ass brother down with him.

I was looking sideways at Ben Affleck because of his brother and the thing with Matt Damon killing the story about HW. I hate the fact my concerns about him were confirmed.

I LOVE YOUR SCREEN NAME.
