All of these. For all of his (very many and egregious) faults, this was something my father absolutely nailed, back then, when the scandal was unfolding. “Of course she was in love with him! He was her boss, the Goddamn President, and beyond that (if we believe what people who knew him said) one of the most inhumanly…

As a senior manager, if one of my employees initiated and pursued sexual relations with me, that would not absolve me of my responsibility to not take advantage of the situation. The dynamic between us inherently puts the onus on me to act responsibly and professionally even when the other individual isn’t respecting…

Whenever my liberal friends are shocked and horrified at how so many women approve of Trump, I remind them of all the women who would *still* support Bill Clinton today, my friends included.

Is it me, or does this Trump presidency seem like it could be interchaneged with the Kardashians, and it would be pretty much the same thing?

Who is the CPAC woman?

Fuck you, you fucking scumbag. You are not allowed to express remorse now. We don’t want it, we don’t need it. This is your fault and you should carry that shame with you every day for the rest of your life. Fuck Ross too, for not spitting in your face as you try to pretend like you fucking care!

We have to change the way we raise them and how we define masculinity and strength. We have to have better intervention programs for kids who grow up in abusive homes and may find themselves repeating the behaviors that they witnessed.
