That went far worse than I saw coming, and it was really brave of you to tell your story.

I go to barre classes at my gym. Nothing is sexy. Sex is not discussed. It is a good workout. It’s a nice break from cardio and weight lifting. I am gay though. Is this how straight people fuck these days? Wow!

1. We do have a term for it - sexual coercion. It covers encounters like this that aren’t necessarily illegal, but aren’t exactly super consensual either, because one person made the other person feel like they couldn’t refuse sex. When someone is ignoring your attempts to shut sex down, it’s hard to be 100% sure that…

Whenever any disadvantaged, historically abused and marginalized groups make any progress, there’s backlash, take trump for example. However, we cannot allow that to be a reason to not make any progress at all. Power is never relinquished willingly nor easily.

Yeah, it’s about resentment, that’s what I was trying to say, maybe not successfully. Resentment towards women, towards life, whatever, so that resentment becomes sexualized and expressed in a misogynistic way. This is why movements like white supremacy oftentimes can start with anti women sentiments, like gamergate.…

I’ve read some interesting articles about why men expose themselves to women. They state that it is this sexual resentment that is channeled into misogynistic rage, in so much that the sexual release of it is the fear and horror you cause in the woman. Basically to show her that she is powerless to do anything, and…

Yes, I think claiming Aziz’s career is near destroyed, he’s the victim of revenge porn, men are being criminalized, the MeToo movement is now wayward, misrepresenting stats, and calling a whole generation of young women “weak” can be characterized as shrieking histrionics. And that’s a very restrained descriptor. tysm

I disagree about boredom. I think people are so desperate for attention. But yes, it really speaks volumes about where we are. I think I need to hibernate. All this ridiculous incoming information is making me have chronic headaches and crankiness.

This is where we are as a society. We’re so bored we’re eating laundry soap for attention.

SHE NEVER SAID YES

One can say “Just say no.” But why are we pretending that if someone is recoiling from you that humans don’t get that reaction. It’s one of the first verbal cues we learn.

In what world does saying “I’m uncomfortable with this” not mean stop? How is that ambiguous? If you told someone you were uncomfortable with something they were doing would you not mean that they should stop doing that thing that made you uncomfortable?

My view is that the reason men are reacting so badly to this accusation is that most guys who see themselves as decent people can easily look at Weinstein and think “I’ve never done something so awful and disgusting” but they hear this sort of accusation and they start to realise they have done this so it can’t be…

What’s mindblowing is that I have to believe that any who is calling Grace’s accounts as a “bad date” either didn’t actually read her story and are defending Aziz blindly because he’s “so great” or something OR people just don’t want to confront what they have done to others or what was done to them. There’s no mind…

yeeeaaaahhhh you don’t want to ghost a foreigner’s party unless they are from a white country - like Norway - because they just won’t understand what happened and if they do they “don’t want to make a fuss”. everyone else in the world? they will make a fuss, if not a scene. that Quinceanera? don’t even think about it.

I don’t get it, either. I don’t have kids, but I wouldn’t even let a pedophile near my dog!

god woody allen is a fuck. i went from casually disliking his movies, to actively hating everything associated with him.

ye olde... she was coached gambit seems a little weak, when you married the 14yr old daughter you groomed as a pedophile

I sincerely hope anyone that works with him... and not just women. men, money…

The difference in how the media treated Justin versus Janet was insane. Her career tanked and his spiked; she became a slut and he became a man.

So fucked up. She’d been right in the middle of a great comeback, too.

“Move forward and learn from it” the highest form of white privilege. For everybody else “dwell on their mistakes and never forgive them for stepping out of the line white people defined.”

I will be bitter FOREVER for what this did to Janet. I see kids coming up today who really don’t understand her impact because it didn’t just stall her career, it denied her her legacy. And for this white boy with a wannabe fro, who spent the first half of his career successfully apeing MJ and JJ’s moves and sounds to…
