There is literally no evidence for a mutually toxic relationship. Dykstra says she was abused. Hardwick says she wasn’t.

“Look at all the women I know! The best women (because they know me!)! Binders full of women! Now give me my damn cookies!”

So many mad dudes in their feelings because an abuser of women got called out.

If a woman was the older and more financially/professionally established party, then the power dynamic would favor the woman. Power dynamics have nothing to do with absolving women. They exist independent of gender. Unfortunately, this is a patriarchal society that has only relatively recently welcomed women into the…

Hardwick then went on to accuse Dykstra of infidelity

“As an orphan who only dates men and has no interest in ever adopting, I have no empathy for the woman.” That’s the inference when they trot out females as qualifiers.

Exactly. Those qualifiers make a man sound even more idiotic. What would be better is “As a human being, I don’t condone the abuse of women.” Hardwick doesn’t get it.

Your uncomfortable because if its true...its terrible...and the law … and rather society has turned its head so much that people are afraid or believe they can’t do anything about it. By making it more public...its well a wake up call that what goes on in privacy...shouldn’t be private..not when ..its pretty frigging…

“How does him being older present some ‘power dynamic’ imbalance when she’s of legal age?”

Those qualifiers always make me uneasy. Is the suggestion that, if a man had somehow grown up without any contact with a woman, he would be A-OK with abuse?

If you only abhor something because it makes you think uncomfortable thoughts about the women in your life, I’m not sure you really abhor it at all.

Another clueless dude using the “As a husband, a son, and future father...” BS statement. Commence eye roll.

I don’t read anything about a mutually toxic relationship in his statement. Even if he did claim that to be the case I fail to see how it can be “mutual” when the power dynamics are so clearly unbalanced (he’s 20 years older, to start).

I wonder what he’s guilty of? ( i mean the lawyer, i know what Harvey is guilty of)

How long before Dana White offers him a contract?

You have both got to be joking. Multiple charges of rape do not just come out of the blue days after an arrest for breaking and entering. There is clearly some evidence we don’t know about. But to suggest that the two are not obviously related is hogwash.

Jebus! If you told me Ivanka’s latest plastic surgery was to have a baboon’s hindquarters grafted to her lips I wouldn’t dispute it.

I have a wealthy friend who has several homes. One of these is in a gated community in Florida. All of her Florida lady friends look like various versions of Ivana Trump, except that most of them are thinner than her. They all are bleach blond and have had extensive cosmetic procedures/surgeries, which is their…

Yes, but Planned Parenthood provides medical care to women of all incomes at affordable rates. They must be stopped!

It’s for sure enough for me and I kinda don’t want to see Jessica traumatized any further. I imagine the line of reasoning here is ‘well, if people hear/see it, they’ll stop defending him’ but we all know better. Folks will defend any level of toxicity and abuse with any number of stupid handwaving excuses no matter…

To violate a woman during such an already-vulnerable time while presenting yourself as a medical profession in whom women trust ... fuck you.
