wouldn’t that analogy only work if there were rumors like that?

Jezebel be all like

Jez, I love you, but this horse seems confusingly beyond dead. I absolutely believe in believing the victims, but... Kirkman straight up said it’s not him two years ago, and specifically called out Jezebel for spreading these rumors:

Yep. The last time this issue was discussed the writer did the same thing, and the commenters all pointed out that he addressed the allegations directly.

What do you think is going to happen? He does a masturbation mea culpa to the general public and the specific women? And if he does, what? The world is a wonderful place now?

Not true, at least for me. I’d be uncomfortable condemning anyone if the only evidence of wrongdoing was second and third-hand rumors, and if the supposed sources of those accusations started directly refuting them.

I’m so confused by this whole thing. I remember the original blind item and the assumption that it was Louis CK.

In an interview with the New York Times on September 11, Louis C.K. declined to discuss

Continuing to double down on this story when there is absolutely no evidence to support the allegations is irresponsible journalism. Until you guys get some sort of reliable evidence, you should really just keep your mouths shut.

Wow, doubling down on this crap even after Kirkman’s statements. Gawker never really died did it?

It doesn’t matter how you say it, everyone knows you mean “Pence.”

Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.

Agreed in full. In law school, for our advanced trial advocacy program, we had about 100 kids divide into trial teams and handle a single, unified case of hostile work environment sexual harassment, which meant there were about 25 cases all on the same set of facts. The case itself was not cut-and-dried, as the facts…

Screamy Spice gets an Emmys cameo. Goebbels-wannabe Bannon gets a platform on “60 Minutes.” The only one told to shut up and go away is a woman.

The great lie of Lindsey Graham is that he’s a maverick cut from the same cloth as John McCain when in reality, he’s Diet Jeb Bush.

Yeah, it may also be my PTSD. But having Spicer there and everyone so excited and laughing at him made me have the exact same feeling I had when people would dismiss how horrible my abusive father was to me and my family. People would always find ways to minimize what he did and act as if he was just a good guy who…

Because READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH.

I disagree. The paragraph provides context as to the frequency of the act in places other than America, which is the target audience for the post (unless I’m missing something). The author is providing information relevant to the audience’s understanding of the story by explaining that the act is commonplace in one…

This is like telling me the existence of the ancient Greek root word klima means the climate has been the same the whole time and can never change.

Basically, it’s simply a matter of which States are giving a green light to predators to prey on undocumented immigrants without consequences vs. States that protect everyone from predators. Any time a predator is let loose to prey at will; ALL OF US, regardless of immigrant/citizen status are endangered. This is a…
