If these were two gay people being persecuted for their orientation, this column would be full of outrage.

You make a good point; a 45 (or 47 at the time of consummation?) year old teacher generally will tell a lovesick student to cut it out. In a nice way, of course, but Cut. It. Out. And now we have this adult married man who suggests by his own narrative that he’s not capable of genuine emotional intimacy with his…

I worked at William Morris in the music department from 2006-2007, and Cosby’s booking agent had no clients other than him. To pretend that Tom didn’t have some idea of what was going on is ridiculous, and it makes me really sad because there were so many young girls like myself that rotated through those offices that…

Same here.

Because her father didn’t want her to be humiliated. To feel shame, embarrassment that he had seen other women go through when they went to the police at that time...

It’s his first Dad joke as a new Dad

They will only get worse from here on out

It’s not clear from the article what the basis for the objection was. It would be interesting to know what and exactly which testimony was stricken.

Not to mention that apparently juries aren’t allowed to consider that as a reason rape victims might choose not to report.

Right? I mean, we’ve all been there. Just this morning, as I was hurrying up to meet my deadline, I said to myself, “what I wouldn’t give to rape someone, like, right now.”

God, I need a plug-in to be able to read all the coverage about this trial and not see all those photos of him making his fucking pudding pop face.

Ah, the old stressful work environment shtick. Because being busy at work is such a fantastic excuse for drugging and raping people.

Jesus. I know he’ll probably be acquitted, but he destroys people.

“Because her father didn’t want her to be humiliated. To feel shame, embarrassment that he had seen other women go through when they went to the police at that time,”

I laughed. It was a dumb joke but I still laughed.

I assume that George drafted the statement, so I guess I projected a sort of self depreciating and/or “oh shit twins” tone on it. I could certainly be wrong.

Perhaps my outrage meter is improperly calibrated. I thought the joke was that Amal is an amazing super hero and she handled the birth like a champ and George - not a strong amazing woman - is a basket case.

Steve Harvey gives me the creeps.
