You know how I know that guy is a sh*theel? Because the very reason I or my husband would never invite an au pair into our home is because we wouldn’t be able to be around the house in a partial state of undress. (We’re a pants off when we get home type of family). Either you avoid that type of behavior or you don’t…

Yes, au pairs not working out in my experience generally boils down to them being harassed. The rest of the problems stem from girls seeing this like an exchange student situation and going out to party instead of helping out but that’s a minority.

The Oregon Trail was just a massive stripmall of Massage Envy and Chipotle stores.

Pro-tip: you can probably find even less expensive therapists if you go to a local massage school.

As soon as I got my divorce, my kids and I moved out and using money I borrowed from my dad I hired an au pair to move in with us. I was able to get one quickly because I was told there were many who “weren’t working out well in their present homes”. At first I was leery of hiring someone who wasn’t working out with…

I worked in a hotel for a couple of years. Room service deals with these types of issues too. I recall one of the women telling me about men “accidentally” exposing themselves when they would bring the cart into the room. Lots of incidents where guests wearing bathrobes with nothing under for no apparent reason.

I…

Yeah, I remember reading about the filming of Boys Don’t Cry (which has a really violent, explicit rape scene), and the director, Kimberley Pierce, carefully choreographed the scene so the actors knew exactly what was going to happen and when, and they walked through the other parts of the scene a bunch of times, so…

I’m an actor, and what this article describes is so far beyond the fucking pale that I want to go burn things down right now. NONE of this is okay. Any & all of the people involved need to quit with the bullshit excuses, APOLOGIZE & fire/banish this fuckhead director & his enablers.

Why does it really matter why she came forward. Whether she was looking for a payout role or not doesn’t change the fact that it happened. Which they don’t seem to be denying.

I’m horrified by the thought process involved. They’ve been molested for real, so of course they’re ok with pretend?

“We didn’t violate these women! Let me violate these women to prove it!”

Doug and Frank killed each other in a murder-suicide. I’ll let you decide who did which.

It’s the gender POV. Since Spacey is gay and also kind of a weird cold stuffy dude, so guys can’t identify with him. On the other hand, Danny Masterson was the cool guy in the 70's show and always looked like an alright dude in TV. I don’t have any doubt that it means that he’s that way in real life (since I don’t…

I quit after four episodes (it never stopped being predictable and never became worth my time), but from what people were saying when season 5 dropped, Claire was the best thing about this show and she should have had more screentime. Now is the chance for the writers to give the people what they want.

Consider this, though: there are probably a hundred people who work on the show that expected to have one more year of steady paychecks. Something that I think is worth grappling with is how we take down abusive powerful men without massive collateral damage. Recentering stories on women is one way to do so.

These women, walking around with their birth control pills, watching movies willy-nilly, it’s madness.

Add the two apple pies (the second one is just a penny!) when your feelings really need to go down more easily.

This is where we are. He knows he can just say the shittiest things possible about his voting base, right to their faces. Basically just call them trash and because he’s got the consonant they are looking for after his name, then they’ll take it and like it. We’ve now seen that child molesters are now more than…

I, for one, would like to know where all these people spending money on “women” are, and how I can get them to spend money on me.

I’m not sure Chuck understands how the economy works. When you spend money on booze, women, and movies, it tends to get spent again, often quickly, by people that have jobs in booze, women, and movies, then again, then again. This is actually good!
