this was delightful and anyone that disagrees is grossly wrong and should never speak to me again

I could understand her if she was saying “i don’t believe this evidence, i don’t believe even what he said, i believe he was forced a confession/whatever”. But she acknowledges that the events happened, and the proceeds to deny it was rape.

you can sit down on that “only”

You know what’s harder? Accepting the person close to you did these things, then being there for them to help them accept responsibility, own the havoc they’ve caused and support them through transitioning to a life in which they move forward and make amends for the awful thing they did. That’s being a friend. That’s…

This is why a friend whose dad was a very nice guy and a child molester made such a point to talk about it. She wanted everyone to know that her dad was the kind of guy everyone loved and respected - and who nevertheless was raping his own children.

Has anyone actually documented her eating 50-something bananas a day? Because I still call bullshit on that.

I completely agree with you. As someone whose boyfriend can be a bit clueless at times when he expresses his opinions, I can see that there are a lot of well intentioned men who just haven't thought about these issues deeply enough to research them and understand the differences between sexism and objectification,…

There are certainly a small subset of entitled, evil people out there, but I do not believe there is a huge push from they pedophile community for decriminalization of child molestation. I’ve read multiple articles from journalists and in the mental health community…

Name me one ‘high-profile individual’ who has ever been accused of inappropriate behavior with kids. Name one internationally beloved, eccentric pop singer; or a single critically acclaimed, Oscar winning director; or even someone whose famous on a national level, like a wacky British television presenter. I just dare…

Ethnic flare?

HEY CASEY

Basically the only reaction I have left for this case.

Loved this. It so so so sums up my life politically—I grew up in rural Kentucky in a very conservative Southern Baptist family. When I registered to vote when I was 18, I registered Independent, but still voted Republican with my parents. When I was a freshman in college I was on the email list for the campus pro-life…

In the US, depending on the state and the crime, a victim usually has a set number of years to bring charges against a perpetrator. It sounds like Corey is saying too much time has passed for him to bring charges against his abusers, so the only outcome from him naming names would be them suing him for…
