I mean, who hasn’t gotten so excited they called up a reporter to ruin the reputation of someone on behalf of a rapist?

The lesson I got was that her feminism was a business decision an not an actual belief.

I’d like to think that for $10 million you might be willing to fudge the truth to sell that used car but would draw the line at actively trying to ruin other peoples lives on behalf of a rapist.

Exactly. It’s important to remember she went beyond defending Harvey to actively engaging in the smear campaign against his accusers.

I had detailed response that was getting into novel length territory but the tl;dr is when I’ve stood up to what I believed to be unethical behaviour in my life it’s almost always been my female coworkers who’ve stood with me. My male colleagues have almost always been unwilling to risk their careers by saying…

I had that same reaction.

This one 1000% percent. It’s easy to criticize others for staying silent. It’s harder to actually recognize our own silence because it means confronting the very real risks of standing up for what’s right to our careers and lives.

My hope out of all this is that we all look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we have truly consistently stood up to unethical behaviour in our own lives whether it is sexual harassment, racism or even agreeing to do something at work we know is wrong because “it’s our job”. It’s easy to condemn others but we can…

I like Stewart but I expect a somewhat defensive reaction from him. He seems to suffer from a belief that “mistakes” are an occupational hazard of truth telling. I expect Colbert to condemn CK and will cut him some slack if it just takes a day or so more than we’d prefer given his willingness to give Tig Notaro’s…

I think this gets to the cruz of the issue: none of the sources on or off the record appear to have been a victim(s) or “representatives” of the victim(s). I absolutely believed Kirkman’s story of harrassment.

I am open to the idea that I have missed something here but I feel like this is being framed as a choice between publishing or sitting on the rumors. If I am understanding Jezebel’s own account correctly they had a lot of 2nd or 3rd hand accounts but no one who would actually confirm that Louis CK had jerked off in…

I appreciate the Fact Pattern from Jezebel. I want to be clear up front, Louis CK can go fuck himself and I was always willing to believe the women he has harrassed.

And now we are at 4 accusers. http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/11/roy_moore_accused_of_sexual_mi.html#incart_big-photo

I missed the part where three other women say he hit on them in their teens.

Judging by the swift response and apparent desire to get a new candidate in the race even though that will dramatically hurt their chances it seems to me the GOP leadership feels there are more stories *or* some hard evidence that will give this story legs. 

My guess is that GOP Senate leadership hates him. However, they also need that seat to stay GOP so they can pass their agenda. IOW they would prefer Strange to Moore but would prefer Moore to a Democrat. Changing candidates with just over 4 weeks to go before the AL election seems like a very risky move even if…

And the responses from his own party seem to indicate that the allegations are true and probably known within Republican circles.

Some people are saying those rumors are true. Some other people are also saying that both companies have/had formal documented financial relationships with what would be considered human trafficking in the US. Allegedly. I mean, I am not saying that.
