Predators treat plenty of women other than their victims well. What you are advocating is like ignoring the victims of a robbery, who properly identified the criminal, in favor of the countless co-workers that were never robbed. Sorry, but no.

Wow, meaningless outrage? As a victim, I find your criticism of the current response to Frankin ironic given your own lack of nuance and now ad hominem attacks. I didn’t call for his resignation the first time and i still have similar reservations. That said, he chose to run and support causes that come with a higher…

She is speaking up just not according to your self-important timeline.

Why do you feel the need to control the narrative of this victim? You don’t know her full history or what experiences have informed her. Victims cope in the ways that are safest and best at that time.

The story isn’t coopted at all. She is part of the broader story of how men in this country feel entitled to treating women like their personal sex objects. Your criticism of her choice ignores plenty of evidence of how our society treats women who speak out and the psychology of such experiences. How you are treating…

Here comes a day of left-leaning folks rationalizing him remaining in office. If we can’t hold our own to a higher level of accountability than we never stand a chance of helping society progress. Its time for the Bill Mahers to STFU and the rest of us move forward without them.

Folks have held his feet to the fire for 18 months with no success. Most people I know have not forgotten his actions or victims. One accuser still has a case against him.

I am absolutely sorry to hear of your experience. I too have been sexually assaulted. I don’t share details about it in person because of how people tend to qualify and grade sexual assault with phrases like “real” or “legitimate”. The victim in this case hasn’t claimed rape, from what I understand, by has called it…

PS..not personally calling for any resignation but also not going to get into accepting sexual-lite logic.

Just trying to get this right.... you are the victim in this?

She used the word grope, so I support that usage and implication. He wrote a scene and forcibly kissed her after she protested. Given the groping came after the assault its fair to surmount and trust her about the desire for humiliation and therefore intimidation. To me and the definitions of assault I am aware of…

Yeah, “fresh” isn’t always the best for sustainability or health. I know canned tomatoes tend to be ones left on the vine longer so they actually get the better nutrients that develop near the end, like lycopene (?? Been a while since i researched) which older men really benefit from. Our country wastes alot of…

I would disagree. The accusation is he forcibly kissed her after she protested and then groped her while she slept. That fits the definition of sexual assault and indicates he is a sexual predator.

Really? You want to make a final reckoning for sexual predators about catharsis for bad movies? That is just ammunition for those opposed to forcing this change. Please stop.

My guess is the production company will win this as Spacey still has much to lose. There are plenty of tactical moves to make that will make Spacey going after such income a form of self destruction.

I think this and the Jon Stewart reaction are exposing a culture of complicity in work environment sexual harrassment and assault. Specifically, it takes an environment of coworkers and management to look the other way for such predators to thrive. Clearly Jon Stewart and Spacey’s cohort didn’t participate in these…

In this year of Weinstein, how is Sean Penn getting a book deal instead of feeling the tires of the bus crushing him (probably better prose then he can muster)? Seriously, WTF? How does he get to walk away from the allegations of violent sexual assault Madonna has described?

How could this be given the world is equal and there is no sexism? Does not compute and I hate cognitive dissonance so that must mean this is fake news.

As this post highlights the current wave of indictments isn’t likely the sea change we need. Until more men step up and recognize its not about protecting themselves from sexual harrassment claims but doing the hard job of fully inventorying ourselves and the environments we foster then we will just be scratching the…

Date rape was already an established term and being talked about in the 70s so it was most definitely a concept that existed. Was it a mainstream term? Probably not fair to say that until the early 80s.
