she really was, the way she interviewed him and stood up for the women, having to break down that no, just because a women is a prostitute doesn’t mean she can’t be raped. i want to send her flowers. the case could’ve gone to someone who didn’t take it seriously, but it went to her and she rocks.

Unfortunately for him, narcissism is a bit of a stumbling block for any kind of self reflection.

He really doesn’t. He’s totally bewildered that everybody couldn’t see how careful he was to just attack WOC who’ve had brushes with the law! They weren’t, like, white or real people or anything! How can they do this to him???

I mean, if he worships bootstraps so much why’d he take a cushy union job? Throw that nihilist, libertarian bullshit back in their faces.

To a psychopath like him, if he offers up an alternate explanation, then that’s good enough and everybody should believe it, no matter how flimsy it is. Because the only real, true belief he holds is that he should get to do what he wants with no consequences. Anything that contradicts this belief is, by definition,…

He PICKED these women to go after specifically because they had a record - and he had access to police records to KNOW that they had prior brushes with the law he could use to undermine their credibility.

I doubt it because she’s reframed his criminal actions as an indictment against her sexual value. You hit the nail on the head with your line about him being a rapist, not a cad; unfortunately, she’s rewriting the narrative to save her own ego. If his victims had been more “socially acceptable” (my skin crawls typing…

The literal thought process of a rapist. Picking victims we’re not supposed to feel bad for.

Must See Redwoods. Miracles in front of you. And the smell. It smells like God and Eternity.

Thank you! I think most people don’t realize that the desire to rape and the desire to have sex are two different things — the desire to overpower and consume vs. the desire to share intimacy/orgasm. So, yeah, if he wasn’t a rapist (criminal), and was just an adulterer (not nice, but not criminal), he wouldn’t have…

Well, remember, she’s not “innocent,” so anything that happens to her* is fair game. Meanwhile, there are elaborate but mysterious “vendettas” against him and he’s been fashioned a scapegoat to prevent mudpeople from rioting, or whatever shrill and cacophonous tune he’s whistling.

That was basically Jeff Arnold’s “argument”.

Exactly. He knew they wouldn’t be believed. Why wouldn’t they be believed? Because we have horrible biases in our heads.

I am obsessed with your username btw. I eat way too many of you and you sure are tasty :)

The problem is how many people agree with him. If your life isn’t perfect, maybe you deserved your rape. Horrible.

Holtzclaw also trots out the ole “they did it for the money” explanation for why he is spending the rest of his life in jail for the sexual assaults he committed.

SO my sister took me to Sephora and basically taught me how to apply a face. She bought me a beauty blender, Laura Mercier primer, Make Up Forever foundation and powder, and Tarte blush. She taught me how to put it on and applied it for me before the Beyonce concert. We posted a pic of ourselves at the concert to fb…

His girlfriend also had some gross shit to say about these women. She talked about how he wouldn’t rape those women is he wanted to stray. Stray?? Bitch, he’s a rapist...not a cad!

It sickens me that Jezebel would run such a slanted article.

This is not a woman that’s, you know, a soccer mom or someone that’s credible in society.
