What do you do with the box you didn’t vote for that is filled with lies, and creepy-crawlies, and racism, and misogyny, and xenophobia, and half-digested cheeseburgers, and cheap thin pair of small gloves coated with Just For Men, and a rock painted gold, and a crumpled note that seems to read something like Shrani…
Every day it’s like if George Bailey had lost and Mr. Potter had won, and a lot of the residence of Bedford Falls, now Potterville (or whatever it was called) were happy about that, because they don’t care about bleeding hearts like George.

I don’t care for the Dakota School of Non-acting, but why is she supposed to be caring about ancient history? At the time of the break-up I gossiped too, but it’s something like 15 year down the road, and it would be weird, and feed into some negative stereotypes about women.

I post at AV, but does I do also feel like the humorless feminist bitch on occasion.
I agree it was a failure, and perhaps I’m reading too much into their intentions. Probably, right?
I think maybe what they were going for, in part, and missed getting across, is that it’s easy to denounce someone you don’t like, and much harder to denounce someone you do like — or did like. This is only exacerbated when the person is someone who you’d thought was ideologically close to you, or someone who is part…
You’re feeding a troll, one who disingenuously uses Andrea Dworkin as someone who is actually influential in order to discredit feminism and women who report abuse.

My understanding is that raising money for a legal fund is a large part of the point.
His current wife kinda sounds like she might make sure anyone he ends up with knows.
