I grew up in Santa Rosa, have family there, and live close enough that I’ve been up several times in the past couple of weeks. The devastation to Santa Rosa is heartbreaking, but what is heartening is that the community is really pulling together, and most of the city is intact, with stores open and services …

I understand the impulse to feel like this and you are not alone.

That’s awful. I’m so sorry you experienced that. I understand your struggle. I experienced some “boys with be boys” shit at my first job, and it took over a decade for me to even realize how fucked up it was.

I was also raped in ways Republicans would not consider “legitimate” and I still have trouble with these same feelings you have. It’s weird because once I called it rape all these puzzle pieces started falling into place - things explaining my anxieties and depression and nightmares and behavior toward other men that…

You were assaulted, period. Whether or not another received worse doesnt negate what happened to you. Dont let anyone try and diminish the impact that it has had on your life. Do try and find someone to talk to about this and how it has changed you. Very sorry.

Thank you for this.

I’m not really on board with insulting and shaming every employee that worked for this company. I work for an organization with 12,000 employees. The number who have any real interaction with our head is vanishingly small. And even if I knew he had a terrible temper and/or had affairs, I wouldn’t quit my job. I’m…

You can be a womaniser without being a rapist. I’ve worked with womanisers before (as well as women who cheated on their husbands). I mean, it sucks for their spouses but as long as the people they’re involved with are willing (truly willing, not pressured into it), there’s nothing illegal about that. The temper is…

It’s possible in the case of some of them. It’s a large company, and I’m sure the ones that were actively covering for Harvey and enabling his behaviour were a small inner circle. The others were either unaware or, in the case of women, had been victims themselves and were silent because they didn’t want to lose their…

I was kind of on Team Tonya. I grew up poor and felt excluded from a lot of things because I couldn’t afford the clothes to fit it. Nancy Kerrigan seemed like such a princessy bitch that I never liked her.

In related news, herpes and oral surgery are making a Christmas album together.

Don’t go blaming the mother, now. Did they not have a father?

The point isn’t that we should automatically convict the accused. The point is we shouldn’t automatically dismiss the victims.

In case someone does not want to click on facebook (I do not blame you, facebook is horrible)

No. I’m not going to bother to answer all your other strawman questions and statements.

They blindly ignore that testimony IS evidence, where mad in any other type of crime, is is accepted as such.

I didn’t participate in the #metoo campaign on fb and felt very conflicted about not adding my voice.

And yet people still consistently go “I think we need to see all the evidence first...”. And its utterly infuriating.

Eh, I’d say “triggering” is the legitimate concern you’re looking to make fun of here. I’d also suggest stepping outside of your own narrative, and considering the notion that not every person feels comfortable being reminded of their weight or “exercise” at every turn. Some people just want to find the train station.

That’s amazing! Now if we could just start replacing the streets named after confederate generals with Beyoncé boulevard and Fenty Avenue, the world would be a more magical place..
