Interesting enough, I recently filed charges on an ex boss and an ex co-worker for harrasment and slander (not under US jurisdiction). It took me a really long time to make up my mind. It was a huge headache. Sure, it’s not sexual assault or harrassment, but it eats at you and takes a toll on every aspect of your…

I get that. Justice doesn’t equal fairness, and as you say an acquittal might be taken as proof of innocence, however, it lends a certain legitimacy to the claim that taking it straight to the press does not. I would use both ways.

I understand keeping things silent or only telling your closest friends... Been there, done that. But if you’re ready to take on the shit storm that comes with telling the World, I personally would tell the authorities first, journalist second.

I agree with you, I was just thinking along these lines earlier today. It’s difficult to keep a story straight when so many different ones are coming out, but the degrees of criminality implied are varying.

I like the word lover, although I get how some people might prefer to be called fuckbuddy or bootycall.

Who’s trolling who, though?

Way to go, Uncle George. Too bad the cops (cough, cough, commenter above) caught you red handed

Holy shit, don’t get hurt unmounting your high horse.

The amount of dislike for Taylor Swift on this site is hysterical. She absolutely can do no right for Jezebel.

Was just going to say... He seems well considered among the people who know him and he has made explicit jokes / comments that put a light on Weinstein and Co.

I love Seth McFarlane with a passion.

I was using fetish in a very wide sense, and referring in particular to being woken up by sexual activity (which is something I’d enjoy with a partner too). The sex-mental space between two people in a committed relationship belongs to them. If they’ve discussed it openly, and they’re both ok obviously that definition…

I agree, you said it best.

But, unlike another commenter, I do feel you can give consent in advance, very particularly if you’re in a committed relationship. I think it’s ok to say “honey, it would really turn me on if....” And have it play out later. That’s what safe words are for. People are allowed to have and play out their fetishes.

She totally wants it

I don’t know. Was she edgier or more recognizable with short hair? She looks amazing either way, I can understand the upset though. Same for Solange. Remember that time someone basically shaved off half of Rumer Willis’ jaw off?

Sactly

I feel there’s as much societal teaching as just a really crappy, insecure and cruel nature to her actions.

There’s far too many issues, in general.

I remember meeting an amazing (statistically speaking) number of men who interpret gestures of kindness, boredom, or simple breathing by women as a form of sexual interest.
