Way to go and make me like you, Levine. Your lifetime pass is stamped and ready to be picked up.

i can’t even find any snark or cynicism here. this is just a decent, human thing to do. good for him and behati.

I’m so sorry for what you have been through. But it sounds like this woman hasn’t tried to tell the sister, she specifically said she didn’t say anything because she is dependent on the bil. How is the daughter not? If after that she still feels the niece or nieces friend is at risk maybe that is time to broach the…

seems that lately all the rapists are viewed as victims - is this the 21st century? beejeesus

If dude has been raping his daughter, that is all the more reason for the Aunt to speak up, let her know that she’s not alone, that someone will believe her, someone will help her. That someone has noticed something is off and cares.

My thought exactly...how do we know this hasn’t happened and the niece isn’t dying on the inside and thinks no one will believe her?

“if your brother-in-law was going to assault his daughter, it would have happened already”

I can’t figure out what the LW wants to accomplish. Is she afraid for niece’s safety? Does she want the nirce to know her father is awful? I feel like if she’s not going to tell her sister, she shouldn’t tell her niece. Otherwise she’s putting the niece in a very awkward position.

She's not allowed to answer questions about rape anymore.

I swear to dog, if you dig down into these attitudes it always boils down to a modern day ducking. A woman, even if the only reason you know her name is because she was the victim of a crime, is only truly innocent if she dies. If she lives, she’s still a witch and it’s somehow all her fault.

Though the De Anza case didn’t go “viral,” it speaks, perhaps, to the contradictions of a judge who campaigned as tough on sexual predators and a vocal advocate of victims.

Oh, so victims are never allowed to party or wear fishnet stockings for the rest of their lives. Makes sense.

What the hell is up with that anyway? When I’m driving my car, I see a motorcyclist, I give them a very wide berth for their safety.

It looks like a typo; I think he swerved to miss the duck!

Exactly. She earned my vote for other reasons, but I am totally, crazy stoked that a woman is the nominee!! This is historic - a huge moment - and nobody is going to make me feel bad about being excited!

I had a nice glass of wine and cried some happy tears during that speech. It’s a nice night!

I’m waiting for someone else to say Yay, Hillary! so that they can shoulder the brunt of the anger and conspiracy theories.

I enjoyed her speech and thought the delivery was great. I’m beyond fucking excited to see her smash Drumpf into the ground. Boy, bye.
