I was assuming that the original poster was referring to other female characters in those books, not the protagonists. Ex; Camille's sister and mother, Libby's brother's girlfriend? I thought Libby and especially Camille were portrayed basically sympathetically.

That giving this guy the benefit of the doubt is illogical and possibly misogynist especially considering your weird obsession with a woman's sexual history being relevant to rape. I'm arguing that since this guy is a known sexual predator, it's quite shady to completely dismiss a woman's claim that he assaulted her…

Well given that 2/3 of rapes are committed by someone that the victim knows, often an intimate partner, I will agree that it IS relevant but not in the way you are arguing. Having previously consented to sex with a rapist does not make it less likely that that they are in fact a rapist, and that's just the statistical…

You cannot lock him up and throw away the key because of "other things he is rumored to have done" (actually not rumored but recorded on tape) but you can ABSOLUTELY speculate and draw reasonable conclusions about the likelihood of sexual assault when there is a known sexual predator. The mistake you're making in…

It's hilarious that you keep using that as some sort of "gotcha" as if you cannot possibly grasp the difference between a woman's consensual sexual history and a history of sexual assault. We're talking about a propensity to rape here, and the likelihood that a known sexual predator assaulted a woman. What on earth…

Also since you're so obsessed with painting this guy as an underage picture-solicitor ONLY, you should read the linked buzzfeed article. The minors in question accused Pepper of more than taking/posessing pictures of them. The accusations also include unwanted groping (hey, kinda like the behavior that we have…

They're not "equivalent". I never said that, and you know it. If you're not willing to engage my arguments critically then just fucking say you're not interested in a conversation and are just spewing crap. A history of sex crimes (such as assaulting women, and soliciting child pornography) is SO OBVIOUSLY an…

Did you miss the underage part or something? I mean, I get that reading comprehension is difficult but it says pretty clearly in the quote UNDERAGE. This is a guy who openly, publicly assaults women on camera. If he does that in public why is it so fucking difficult to imagine that he does worse things in private? Of…

Also! If she made the whole thing up why even include the detail about the first assault prior to the concert? If she was lying she could have just said the rape occurred after the concert, thus silencing criticisms such as your own. The messy time line of the story argues for its truthfulness not the opposite

Hey BWOB, it says in the article that "In recent weeks, other young women have come forward with similar stories of sexual abuse at the hands of Pepper. Three women have told BuzzFeed that Pepper solicited sexual photos from them when they were underage." Is it your contention that ALL of these women are lying? Or is…

I like this show but I absolutely hate Fitz and think his and Olivia's relationship is disgusting. It's gotten to the point where I tend to fast forward through their many, many, many "tortured love" scenes as literally every single one is the exact same. I do not understand what is supposed to be so wonderful about…

This made me so happy! Your kids are beautiful and they are so lucky to have you as a dad!

This has always been my plan as well. Ever since I was a very young child (I'm talking five or six), I have always wanted to be a mother, but have literally never had the urge to give birth. Adoption/fostering has been my plan from the beginning. I actually feel like this is the most "maternal" option. What could be…

I don't think that belief in the Trinity is a very good mechanism for defining whether or not a given group is Christian....there are and have been anti-Trinitarian Christians since before the Reformation. Various sects and sub-sects of Christianity have a multitude of views on the sacraments, Eucharist, free-will,…

Adorable! I've been in love with her for years-so happy to see her career taking off. Anyone who likes her voice should check out the CD she made in the 90's-it's called Minuet. Lovely CD lots of fun!
