That was so fucking troubling to watch. The woman needs immediate psychological intervention. Trying to “help” a family by demanding their child then growing belligerent when they try to escape you...boo, no. Absolutely not. 

The groping was absolutely intentional!! COME ON! 

What are we teaching kids?

So … people of color are not supposed to have feelings? Wypipo are supposed to be as racist as they want, and men are supposed to be as violent and sexist as they want – and POC are never supposed to react, never supposed to be upset, never supposed to take offense, no matter how horrible the offending behavior?

If they can actually block Kavanaugh and keep the seat open until January, what I would do just to troll Trump, McConnell, and the right-wing intelligentsia is declare that, the Senate never having acted on it, the Garland nomination is still live and proceed with confirmation hearings. Then confirm him and dare Trump

Let’s say the Democrats win the White House, Senate, and House in 2020.  If they had any backbone, they should impeach Kavanaugh for perjury, and replace him with Merrick Garland.

I wonder if the GOP understands how much yesterday galvanized women even more than they already were.

I think a lot of folks enjoyed it at the time. That’s what makes it so much harder to look back upon — realizing that this much-loved film was actually horribly rapey... and that we couldn’t see it back then, because that was just how it was.

Men’s laughter admits them into the boys club of power. Women’s laughter gets them violated and killed.

I fucking hate that sullen, “I know this hurts, it’s just we can’t do anything about this. We must go forward” type of facial expression this piece of shit and all others like him have.

I fucking hate that sullen, “I know this hurts, it’s just we can’t do anything about this. We must go forward” type of facial expression this piece of shit and all others like him have. It’s supposed to be this stoic resilience in the face of adversity, and a humble acceptance of its inevitability, yet... THEY’RE THE

What a piece of shit. He was never Anti-Trump. He was behind in the polls and decided to quit instead of lose to a woman. He’s constantly whined about “decorum and Process” while fucking everyone over just the same. And the people of Arizona have eaten it up. Let’s see if they still eat up his brand of dog shit after

What I think when I hear people say “it’s fine”:

Truth. I and the women in my life routinely use “it’s fine” as a phrase that means “it’s absolutely not fine, but it’s not worth the drama that the truth will bring up.”

As many people on Twitter point out, abusers cry. My abuser cried. Crying is sometimes what abusive men do because they don’t have a handle on their feelings or behavior; they’re angry and confused and scared. It’s so similar to when a child cries during a temper tantrum. They know enough to understand right from

This entire nomination process is just so gross. Leaving aside Ford’s accusations (which I find credible), Kavanaugh showed yesterday that he does not have the temperament or impartiality to serve on any federal court. That in and of itself should be disqualifying. But this is why elections matter. Everyone needs

Admittedly, I did not listen to Dr Ford’s part of the hearing, I was at work and I knew it would just upset me. I did listen to part of Kavanaugh’s because I was curious about how he would defend himself against her detailed (and entirely believable) accusations. I expected a professional to come out and sit down and

If a woman had behaved the way Belligerent Brett behaved yesterday she would be finished. That’s why like Dr. Ford, we’re all trained to be “nice ladies” who have to accommodate, demure and smile through all the horse shit thrown at us. 

Fuck America. It’s not worth saving.
