As someone who doesn’t use social media (except old people FB), I only just looked through instagram for the first time in the last week.

It doesn’t even need to go that far. Who would want to be branded as “the person whose testimony successfully impugned the credibility of Kesha”? I’d be horrified of the prospect of a client being publicly seen that way. In the current climate, that’s almost tantamount to standing on the wrong side of history.
This is 100% correct. While most celebrity ‘feuds’ and accusations of lying or betrayal are essentially good publicity in the sense that anything keeping you in the news keeps you relevant, Katy cannot publicly say “no that woman saying she was raped has been lying about me being raped” because it doesn’t play well.…
(Sorry for multiple responses)
By the way, if you really think that the criminal law should be protecting people from their own incapacity to make decisions because their brain is not developed enough to make that decision in the most mature way —- then there’s no justification at all for Romeo & Juliet exceptions (i.e. letting 19 year olds bonk…
Let me be clearer - no one writing for Jez had a problem with the age gap.
Also - come on, be honest. Very few people, including no one at Jez, had a problem with Call Me By Your Name. I’m not going to doubt you if you say you did, but you gotta be upfront and admit it was widely acclaimed, including here.
You’re struggling with this. The question isn’t “when can people make decisions like an adult”. It’s “when is someone so young that the chances of harming them severely are so high that we should end the other person’s productive life because it was such a risky decision to sleep with them that it calls for our…
There’s nothing surprising about a powerful man born in that era hitting his wife. That was a common norm. My grandfather was a self-identified socialist and he hit his wife. It had nothing to do with politics: most men just simply did not think it was wrong to hit their wives, and those that did (like my other…
Here. Here’s Jezebel waxing poetic on the beautiful nature of a sexual relationship between an adult and a 17 year old https://themuse.jezebel.com/call-me-by-your-name-and-the-art-of-compromise-1819157333
Didn’t the entire world just spend like a month gushing over Call Me By Your Name? In which an adult has sex with a 17 year old...
Because I think it errs on the side of not ruining someone’s life when they haven’t run a high risk of ruining someone else’s. We’ve all been young once, and I think a 15 year old might well be severely traumatized by a sexual relationship with an adult. I don’t think it’s highly likely that a 17 year old would be…
And again, a “social movement” is not “an organization”. I’m sure you would agree that #metoo is/was a movement, or the sexual revolution in the 60s, or the suffragettes - but none of those involved a single, centralized organization of people pulling in a single direction. Neoliberalism is a movement, but no…
I don’t know what to tell you. There are thousands of students protesting what they characterize as racist curricula. No one has been protesting Heidegger. That’s why there are no articles on philosophy students protesting the inclusion of a Nazi as a core part of the philosophy curricula - because there are none.…
Is your issue that you think I’m talking about an organization? I obviously don’t mean that. We’re talking about a social movement. #metoo isn’t an organization either, but only a moron would say it’s not a movement.
So one example is too general. Twelve examples is just 12 individuals. What...what would you consider evidence to be?
There are many other examples outside Yale.
