He used to sign off on my course load cards back in college. He told me his name was Doctor A. O’kay.

LOL, are they still pushing the Norway angle? I thought we had established by this point that most of the countries the GOP wants immigrants from have better living standards than the US.

This shit was known about Woody Allen since way before 2014. For God’s sake, all his movies are about a creepy older man preying on younger women.

Sorry, but I’m going by what the court documents, the victim-as a child and an adult- the judge and prosecution who only stopped for fear of what it would do to the victim say about this.

See, no to this relativisation. This isn’t about creeps and putting up with them. This isn’t asking why people didn’t act on rumors. Polanski and Allen have had their predatory behavior documented for all to know, in court documents, and nonetheless been unrepentant about it.This is where any decent person should draw…

I’m sorry about this but I’m gonna kinda hijack.

It’s frustrating and aggravating that despite the numerous times this has come up-it came up again yesterday-the worst offenders refuse to be mindful of how much oxygen they are taking up in a space specifically for women (it’s in the tag line even!) and continue to manspread on every post, including those posts about…

Just as long as the “no true scotsman” people don’t start this “[Democrat with long track record of liberal policy] is just as bad as Republicans” bullshit we saw in 2016.

I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and…

Manning is a traitor that colluded with the same organization that helped Russia sabotage our election. ANY support for this asshole undermines holding Trump accountable for colluding with the same folks.

Cardin is already on the left. He isn’t an Andrew Cuomo who tries to get cute, he’s been fighting for us for years. I still remember him fighting against the Tea Party for Obamacare in 2009, and he is one of the guys who wants to go universal. He has given a damn about us in Baltimore for years when your typical…

Cardin is a genuinely excellent Senator. He gives a damn, he works grassroots issues for the state, and on the Foreign Relations Committee he has long been on the side of the countries Trump hates. He is not Feinstein, for example, who justifiably should be primaried.

I would totally vote for her if she moved to the Eastern Shore and ran against Andy Harris.

But you can’t expect the men to comment because then all the women will criticise them and hurt their feelings, because apparently we live in a world where coming up with a statement that exhibits both regret for their role and an admittance they shouldn’t take the spotlight away from the victims is too fucking hard...

You forgot the part about when one of her defenses, that she affirmatively made to the court, was that the DoD should have known better than to trust a trans person with sensitive information. Seriously.

Attempting to primary Ben Cardin is not heroic. It’s stupid and narcissistic, which is Manning’s M.O..

It’s a joke. This isn’t a blow for unrepresentef trans people, but the act of a self-indulgent, deluded person. No matter how anyone spins it, she violated an oath and obviously (admittedly) did not really consider the ramifications for frontline soldiers.

Hope she lives a life that she can be proud of, but this is stupid. If anything else, the diplomatic cables she leaked were a clear case of Assange taking advantage of someone in a fragile state and getting her to dump everything she could possibly find.

It also requires competency. In what reality do you think that Manning offers that?

Ugh. There is so much wrong with Manning, none of it related to her identity as a trans woman.
