Yes, the system of accusing those openly in the public space is working. This is not that.

and yet, somehow, someway, your think this approach will.

You presume that someone is going to actually investigate the allegations dumped into an antonymous document by anonymous online people. For a number of reasons, you are wrong. The damage to the accused, however, will be instant and permanent.

Yes. And somebody will go to jail who didn’t deserve it. And somebody will die today because of a misdiagnosed disease. But there will be many more allegations that are founded, more people who go to jail who do, and more people who are saved from correctly diagnosed diseases.

If you are looking at sexual misconduct and truly want to be open about it, don’t limit it to men. I’m male and have had many more women managers than men and have experienced some truly uncomfortable situations. Let’s not pretend that women don’t hold positions of power or are incapable of sexually harassing or…

What are your thoughts on the concept of “innocent until proven guilty”?

And some men will have their lives irrevocably ruined by unfounded allegations of sexual misconduct.

Mansplaining is way overused tho. Just because a man tells a woman she is wrong and explains why isn’t mainsplaining. It is only that if he thinks he knows and she doesn’t because she is a woman. I think we all can agree the latter is total BS.

Men talking over women is a real problem. Mansplaining is a bunch of bunk. Women condescendingly explain things to men all the time too. If anything, women might do it more, and it tends to come with an open eye roll as well.

That’s great. What’s the governor saying about all this? Madame Mayor strikes me as a bit of an opportunist at this point.

The point is that there may never be a good time. People choose their professions mostly. Along with making the decision to become a highly educated professional that has to spend a decade preparing for said profession comes choices as to what you can and cannot have. Sometimes these choices are hard, but they are…

Maybe men and women shouldn’t have children during this time if it’s such a grueling schedule. Life isn’t fair, choices have to be made.

So it’s fine that pediatrics is dominated by women but other fields HAVE to be equal? Why isn’t there a push for more male nurses? Or more female sanitation workers? Or do women only want equality in lucrative, high paying jobs?

Yes but what about people who didn’t know Weinstein but were acquainted with the Weinstein-affiliated artists who should have known about Weinstein’s behavior and yet did nothing to call them out on their complacency. We can make some articles about that.

the white black man. i know of him.

but facts are an oppressive liberal conspiracy, why do you hate freedom so much???

Yeah, no. No need to play dumb. She knew exactly what she was saying.

She encouraged people to boycott corporate sponsors.

I saw that post and wondered the same thing. What’s your reason for why The Root ignores news from South Africa? It seems pretty deliberate to me too.
