Because they know damn well how many people think it’s only rape if the attacker is a stranger, in a dark alley and the victim is screaming and fighting. If she agrees and she’s a minor it’s not rape, it’s a technicality.

It’s some strange logic that goes ‘This is serious, how do I make these rape charges disappear? Wait, I’ve got it! Murder will fix it!’

Look, men just know more about celebrity gossip and fashion. It’s just inate to them. Comes with the penis you know?

Seriously?!?

Same. I was 16 and he was 28. I consented but I did a lot of stuff I didn’t enjoy to seem more mature than my years. I dont regret it exactly but it’s clear to me now that there were some not great power dynamics that I was totally oblivious to in my single minded pursuit of being the teen who was the exception to the…

TV writers seems to have a problem writing completely confident female characters who don’t fall into mean girl (see also Donna’s treatment of Jerry on parks and rec). I get it, they’re playing with the idea that nice women obsess over other people’s feelings and turn themselves into doormat so the opposite of that…

Yeah, I sympathithe in that concert tickets seem to be one of those things people spend money they don’t have on but really at this point they need to be mad at themselves for not buying insurance on plane tickets to see an artist with a history of not being able to perform.

I read a comment from someone who said they were at the signing that the woman just stood up and started yelling at McGowan. No wonder she felt attacked. The last few months must have taken a huge toll. And the only person who wins from this is Weinstein.

Ah yes, the court said she had to be given one, but, if we try this abortion reversal trick it’s like a loophole right?

When you’re 13 it can also be the kind of thing you worry about after getting to second base.

Sometimes I suspect that white boys don’t appreciate all the last chances that they get.

Trump believes his very presence inspires so much confidence in the market that he doesn’t have to do anything else. Besides removing every Obama era regulation on general principles that is.

Its worth pointing out that the response to dealing with harassment in the workplace is often ‘We need more women in positions of power’ when that on its own is never going to be enough.

That definitely can make a difference. I changed devices and ended up having to create a new account for Reddit. Couldn’t understand why the responses to my comments had turned weirdly hostile until it dawned on me that I’d gone from a gender neutral name to a female one. I changed it again and everything settled into…

Either that or that women that use phrases like ‘tearing down the patriarchy’ are witches.

His chin checks out.

These two are a delight and consistently the most entertaining royals.

Wow that was fast. Then I remember she’s not a white dude, the line she walks is whisper thin and there is no room for error.

And poor Eliza, who probably wanted desperately to feel more mature than she was (as all 12 year olds do) and these guys were treating her like a grown up. It was probably really flattering until it got scary and then complaining means a) admitting you were a kid all along or b) risking the dreaded response that…
