Yes, I’d like to see Christine Ford run for her seat.  Or any seat.

They met on, IIRC, the set of The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band, 1968. Crush ensued. Kurt was the big name, Goldie was a dancer.  Claim they didn’t hook up until Swing Shift.  

I hate to admit it but I’m finally being triggered in a major way by all this. I wish I could feel rage but I admit I’m being swamped by despair.  In some ways, the GOP is just behaving the way we’ve known for at least 30 years - the rape of a country, the turning of women (and men) into desperate beggars in their own…

We need more reporting like this. I’ve lived all these forms of discrimination, having put on weight for all kinds of reasons and taken it off again all my life. It is really astounding how you go from normal person to “loathsome item that should not exist in the world” within about 20 pounds.  This is now one of my…

Because I told my boss, whose children were being taught by this monster, thinking that I’d be protecting kids, and wasn’t believed. Because the next guy was someone I knew my friends wouldn’t approve of my dating because he was blue collar and had a motorcycle, and I was embarrassed that I “let it get out of hand”…

I’m also stumped about why he has a problem with this. Many philosophers - all dead white guys! - advocated for shame, social embarrassment, and social pariahdom as fitting moral responses where the law either couldn’t, wouldn’t, or doesn’t address an issue, for whatever reasons!  

Not to mention the fact that the first, and arguably the only job of top editor, is that of good judgment. He doesn’t have it. He has a woe-is-them and now woe-is-me attitude that seems not to be able to think through the issue critically.

This is why I have a problem with the legal categories that specify that behavior must be “severe” and “pervasive.” As anyone who’s lived through it knows, your career can be derailed by one or a handful of seemingly minor harassments that, due to timing or content or whatever, do just enough damage to make sure you…

This is classic Feinstein.  She does a tiny thing at the last minute that will make no difference, then goes home for a Democratic fundraiser.  Over the years, I’ve found her the perfect Manchurian candidate as a Demo in name only.  You can always count on her when it doesn’t count.

It shows she thinks she that, at her age, she has no career without him AND that she knows he’s going to be fine. He’s got millions, and deep industry and country club connections across multiple industries. The statue of limitations on most of these incidents has probably run, and in most cases, there’s no proof…

Love the next generation re-boot and the re-boot in general!  But I hope that as many of the original cast as possible will have roles if they want them as well.

Why I agree that huge millions should go to efforts to stop this harassment and help the survivors heal, I want more than paid-for therapy: I want to see these corporations pay reparations in the form of producing deals and writing contracts and lost residuals.  I want to see not just that young women get better…

At last I get why I quit watching television, for the most part.  The great woman-centered shows of that era died and were replaced by dreck as described.  Even the lead women, like Marg Helgenberger and Mariska Hargitay had to be “hotties” dressed in tight t-shirts.  Look at the early years of those shows, where they…

A lot of Scots were Jewish. So it’s possible both things are true.

Yes, I wasn’t married to the guy but somehow every time either he or the sister opens their mouth, I feel like I understand quite a bit about why Meghan’s mom divorced him.  Just imagine that kind of crazy at close range, long-term.

I’m a big fan of Serena’s, usually, but this is the first time I’ve seen her do this (didn’t see the past two matches with ref tangles) and it smacked of deliberation. Everyone says she “lost it” - but I think she has this as a tactic to try to stop her opponent’s momentum. While on a tirade, she actually gets a…

He absolutely chose to take a war correspondent job when he could have been working at home and he absolutely later chose to go to Russia for an extended period when they had small children. My own grandfathers were home parenting their kids (the older boys went to war when drafted). This “no man could escape”…

Thank you.  My point, better said.

Ah, so, finally we see “where you get your info from” and the reasons for your incredibly ad hominem responses about “projecting” to me. I never said she had to be a saint; I said that she was abandoned repeatedly by Steinbeck with one, then two small children (yes, women should never attempt to continue a shaky marria…

Wow, you’re blaming HER for having a second child - and not HIM for promptly abandoning her with two small children to head off to Russia on yet another trip? She then had to make her own way by supporting the kids herself, in that era. Yeah, he was a prince for shipping the kid off.
