NOOOOOOO! What!?
This sounds super creepy, but I’m going to look at ‘that’ gif now...You know the one...
Like, “political” Jack Valenti? That must be an interesting story...Was he hoarding screeners at the time, or was it your difficult duty to go to his home and collect them (I don’t envy you that task.)
I think the concern of some of us on the thread is that the WW narrative treats larger women as a monolith...Every women and her body image is different and this “campaign” feels like “hey some of you who felt okay having sex at any size, did you know you’re actually supposed to feel badly about yourself?

But in my time as a victim advocate for young people of color abused by former members of a powerful entity, I saw first hand that MANY perpetrators welcome closed depositions and quick/no contest settlements to assuage themselves of wrong doing. To think this…
I don’t recall insinuating you were alluding to altruism, I meant that the Archdiocese has earned no good will in this matter and does not deserve the benefit of the doubt in any instance in these matter.
I know this, but I will not give the Archdiocese the benefit of the doubt on anything.
I get what you’re saying, but this settlement structure is under the guise of expediting the process for victims who may need the money (for PTSD and trauma treatment, life-long STD’s acquired from abusing priests, etc.) when it’s just a ploy to make sure victims’ stories never see the light of day.
