WHAT DO HIS SUPPORTERS THINK?!?!?! I CAN’T WRAP MY HEAD AROUND HOW HE HAS SUPPORTERS!!!

If someone brings this shit up if you can look them dead in the eye and say, “ya know, I’m a survivor of sexual assault. The men who do rape all look like good guys and they don’t come with warning labels. They all have mothers and friends and relatives who love them, but at the end of the day they use that good cover…

Good luck. I’m not sure what I would do in a similar situation. I would probably try to be tactful at first, and say, “Well, a jury of his peers found him guilty...” And then move onto, “Listen, if he didn’t want to go to jail, he should have considered the consequences of his actions before he raped all those women.…

I agree, but at the same time, I bet some of these guys are the same dudebros that think they could easily beat up Rhonda Rousey.

First gay dudes, now all women...is there anyone these dudes don’t think is willing to sign up to be shot at just for the chance to fuck them?

I have no doubt he was guilty on all 36 and quite a few more. Given how little rape is ever legally punished in our society, ESPECIALLY against women of color and women with records, and given how long the damn jury took, I thought he was going to go scot free. The amount of relief I feel is physical at this verdict,…

It’s an indictment of our society that the media didn’t think this was worth covering. Imagine if this was about dozens of white women? All lives clearly don’t matter.

I’d drink his tears like a big ‘ol jug of wine.

Awww, is the poor little rapist saaad because his life over before he turns thirty?

18...out of 36. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he’s been found guilty at all. I had my doubts the jury would do the right thing . I know there’s some nuance here about why he was found guilty of only half of his charges that I’m probably missing. I just would’ve preferred to hear “guilty on ALL counts”. Still, watching…

That’s how it was going for me, too. I was driving down to see my mom at least once a month, to help with chores and keep her from getting depressed about her health.....and when we started the preparing for the move, 5 months in advance, it was 2 and 3 times a month. I was taking days at a time off work, constantly…

Yeah, I hear that. My brother is all about work, he has no other life. And obviously his job must be more important than mine, so it was no big deal for me to take time off work to drive down and do a few chores and be there for her when her declining health was driving her into depression.

Right? Why precisely is this MY PROBLEM? Oh, right, you’ve had the luxury of just ignoring anything you didn’t want to deal with your entire fucking life.

It’ll be tough but newborns take a special kind of emotional energy that will make other emotional labour difficult or impossible. My suggestion would be the write a list of housework you want done and post it on the fridge. Tell him about it, remind him that it’s not a one and done thing, and then go on strike.…

When you really look at it, a fair amount of “deliberate incompetence” is actually blackmail/emotional abuse. How many times have you heard a man, or a third party speaking for a man, joke about how they’ll gladly watch the kids, and they won’t let them burn the house down either. (The punch line is always different,…

You don’t get what “silent work” is. Silent work isn’t work that you don’t talk about. It’s work that’s not recognized or acknowledged as work. Work that can be outsourced to a handyman or a mechanic is not remotely equivalent to managing the emotional health, wellness, activities and calendars of everyone in the…

THANK-YOU. Recognizing the issue and asking IS part of the work. If all a woman had to do was ask, everything would be fine. Why should it even be up to the woman to ask, the man should be expected to recognize the need.

First of all, there is no way the hours involved in changing furnace filters or doing basic car maintenance add up to the hours of other labor being described here (in the article and by frustrated women in the threads); if they are, I think you may need some instruction on how to more efficiently use your time.

A real man picks up a crying child and soothes them so you don’t have to put down what you’re doing. A real man comes home from work with groceries, saying “Oh, I noticed this morning that we were low on milk and eggs, so I got some more.” A real man picks up his goddamn shoes and puts them on the shelf, so you don’t…
