Fuck I’m so sorry :( I believe this victim too. His response on Howard stern was telling and gross. Ugh.

That’s horrifying holy shit. And then Stern and the woman (I’m not familiar with the show sorry) try to justify it by making sure it wasn’t at work? Omg. “Sometimes you try to persuade someone” not by putting your hand on their dick. Fuck fuck fuck

Are you a woman? I’m not trying to be a dick but I’m wondering because women are conditioned to shrug off this kind of behavior. Especially when you’re young and in a new career that’s difficult to break into. Especially when there are people who coin terms like “forcible rape” and the narrative around sexual assault…

Especially because I can’t imagine the nyt writing an article after a big story broke essentially saying “well we had the story but the victims weren’t being compliant!” what is this passive aggressive self-congratulatory garbage?!

I think Mr. Rex probably asked Kirkman on a date 12 years ago and was turned down and will never forget. Even if Kirkman is a jerk (idk, I like her standup but people can be assholes) it doesn’t change the story at all.

Especially in regard to sexual assault. I can say with certainty that I can be trusted to not sexually assault anyone. It’s basically the lowest bar to meet to be decent. Why can’t “allies”?

Ok but pretty much every typical adult knows that you don’t just ask someone out of nowhere if you can show them your genitals. There’s a protocol with all things sexual and it doesn’t start with meeting someone, inviting them to your room and then asking if you can get naked and proceeding to do so if the other party…

I’ve been waiting for my rape checks for years >:(

And yet we’re still having the same discussions about why women don’t report/is it ok to pursue a story when women ask that it gets left alone. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh forever

I’m gonna say here that feeling validation and the self congratulatory comments in this thread come off as callous and gross to me. I’m glad people believe the victims but that’s what you’re supposed to do. Centering this conversation on how so many of you were right and feel good about it ignores that you being right…

Not sure how you can reconcile this comment with the fact that you dismissed my comment where I called you out for “warning” women, as a man, that allies can’t be trusted when we know damn well not to trust you, and thanks for bringing it up again. But it makes sense that you’re the kind of ally who is happy to pat…

I had the opposite effect - using the fancy stuff made me run back to the blast. I guess we just have opposite lashes somehow ha

UM how dare you talk about my lashblast like that. I’ve used expensive mascaras and always go back to lashblast. And people ask me often what kind of mascara I use. Whatever, more lash blast for me

:)

This shit makes me feel so powerless. Nearly 200 Puerto Rican students have been accepted into the school district i live in. The school district is already ridiculously strained because it’s one of the poorest in the area (the neighboring district is one of the wealthiest. The difference in education and opportunity…

She was in hard candy prior - not sure if it was wide release. It was a very fucked up movie and I can’t imagine having to play that role. Not trying to discredit your point about her being powerless though. She was just really excellent in hard candy.

I think it’s hard to craft an apology when you’re not fucking sorry, when you absolutely knew better, and you truly don’t give a fuck about the victims. I’m better at apologizing to my dog when I step on her tail. Know why? Cuz I didn’t actually mean to hurt her and I’m really sorry when I do. These guys are trash.…

Yeah the apology sounded good but still left me feeling fucking gross. it screamed insincere to me not to mention too little too fucking late. A grown man should know not to take his dick out in front of women who say they don’t wanna see it. What kind of personal growth does someone have to lack to think otherwise?…

This self congratulatory “I was right that this guy assaults women GO ME I’m smart and you’re dumb” are making me pretty sick tbh. Many, many women are already wary of men - allies included. But thanks for including your manly man perspective that us dumb women couldn’t have figured out our damn selves 🙄

Thank you for all that. That’s very good advice
