I guess if I got a deal like that I’d try it just to see but it seems like the average price is like ten times that.

I’m afraid there’s going to be a backlash. A lot of men who haven’t harassed or assaulted are still probably thinking this is all overblown and that some of what’s been reported is no big deal and/or made up. So they’ll retaliate/protect themselves by excluding women wherever they can. Men are still the majority…

We already have the one of him calling Rebpublicans stupid. Politics just is a different game. Its like religion, its rare to get someone to leave their tribe.

This trend of outing sex criminals is amazing. It could reshape Hollywood. I can’t believe how much traction this is finally getting, even though these stories are well known, and never generated movement for decades. I said this about Harvey about a week ago here, but it bears repeating: I’m a toolmaker in NH, with…

Cynical me has to mention that these companies finally cut loose these creeps for a more practical reason: money. No more profits: bye bye. I can’t credit them with a conscience.

Tom Hanks is a perfect gentleman and a kind employer. I would be extremely surprised to hear that he had ever put his hands on a man or a woman without permission. So you’re good with that one at least.

I read the link after reading your comment. I can’t believe it. He admitted to raping her. She asked if he was “Ronny”, he said yes. When she saw it was him she screamed. He fucking raped her. But even with his own words out there for anyone to read, he’ll never be considered a rapist. Because he said she was a…

Double points to Gryffindor if this is who she’s named after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul

Here’s a link to one of my favorite Ted talks. It rang SO true to me. We teach girls that they need to be perfect. To be afraid of how they’ll be judged and treated by the world around them. I believe this happens because we judge girls much harsher for their mistakes than we judge boys. Instead we should teach girls…

Yep. He tweeted about her initiative last week. In fact this tweet lead to the op-ed in the replies.

Jake Tapper raised a good ‘un.

YES. And you make some very good points. STDs can take years to show up, and I know from talking to a friend about hers that living with even an asymptomatic STD can be emotionally debilitating and humiliating. Keeping this secret from his wife constitutes a kind of assault, in my opinion, because he is continuing to…

I feel weird about all the fat-shaming comments I’ve been seeing on Jezebel since the Weinstein scandal broke. It literally has nothing to do with them being fat, and being fat has only a very tenuous relationship with self-control. It also seems quite a dangerous link to draw in cases like this, where an abuser’s…

Also head on over to Splinter and all the people practically gleeful about how they’re not gonna vote unless they feel it’s someone perfect. Some folks think not doing jack shit when you can actually do said shit and affect things is somehow an epic protest move.

It’s her version of 45's “I promise you” and “I will guarantee”. It boggles my mind that slow witted people buy that crap. I realized at about 15 that anyone who says “I guarantee...” is talking out of their ass. How do other people not see it?! 😑

“people eligible for the estate tax” was my way of saying “the rich”. This whole tax plan is standard Republican supply side bullshit, let the richest people pay less into the system and they will spend their savings creating jobs - which rarely happens. Kansas has proven this plan leads to economic crisis, yet the…

You guys, what about the synergism? If she doesn’t mention it in every soundbite, I worry nothing will be synergized. And then where will we be?

So many people feel that their vote doesn’t matter. In some cases they may be right, due to gerrymandering.
