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.

It is fascinating to see all the male regulars around here posting that Pompeo is terribly gauche for hurting Dunaways feelings. So many knights in shining armor saving women from themselves! I mean don’t get me wrong, that comment probably stung Dunaway like a motherfucker, but it isn’t Pompeo who took the money out

What bothers me is that you’re telling blatant lies. The prosecutor never said he would not bring the case because of a lack of credible evidence. What he said was the opposite of that, that he actually had probable cause to bring charges. If you want to say he was lying, just say that and present the evidence you

The defense of Woody continues to be unbelievable to me. It wasn’t like this one instance of molestation happened in a vacuum. By all accounts, he was obsessive about Dylan, had to be kept away from her. Whether there was evidence of the molestation or not (and how could there be?), the unhealthy obsession and

fuck off

I didn’t say you said he was innocent. I said it was disingenuous bullshit to say that there is no evidence against Allen, which there absolutely is.

You have at least one blatant falsehood three sentences into your post: the prosecutor declined to bring charges because he didn’t want to put Dylan, a fragile child (paraphrasing his words), on the stand. He specifically went out of his way to say he thought she was credible and he had probable cause to bring the

Way to project (I didn’t name call anyone regarding whether they are unsure, I said judging DYLAN’S credibility on other people’ lack of credibility is not logical) and also way to completely miss the point. What you wrote is NOT RELEVANT to the credibility of Dylan herself. She can speak to those allegations as you

There have been so many comments about ‘what about Moses supporting Woody?’, ‘what about the abuse allegations against Mia’, etc. In terms of this allegation, NO ONE was there except two people- Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow. This is not disputed, including by Allen. Moses may have had a bad experience with his mother.

Not for all of the survivors who have nothing to gain PR-wise.

People think that it’s only sexism if you’re like I don’t like her because she’s a woman. But no. It can be inherently sexist because you’re being overly critical because they’re a woman or because you think a woman should be more passive or what have you.

I hope Bruce Springsteen offers to play at Phil Murphy’s swearing in.

“Hey, want to go see that new Mark Wahlberg movie? I don’t know what it’s about, but it must be good if he’s in it.”
— absolutely no one, ever

I was shocked to discover he was the highest paid actor in Hollywood last year. The guy has the emotional range of a fire hydrant. In the movie, it’s comical how they put him in

“It is very sad for me that they didn’t like it and I’m finding that very difficult to accept.”

Last night, I was listening to The Mortified Podcast and it inspired me to look back at a journal from senior year of high school/freshman year of college. I started dating my first boyfriend my junior year of high school. He was an abusive, controlling dick. I broke up with him at the end of my junior year, but

But it does though. Have you not been paying attention? Hell, did you not read the article you just commented on? Women are just beginning to grasp the level at which we’ve been systematically been abused, excluded and denied career opportunities due to our gender. The last thing we need are a bunch of male hot takes,

This has been a continuous conversation for several months now. You can jump to defense if you want, but you have no context for the conversation so you’re adding nothing. Also, jujy is an attention whore who just always has to be there to flaunt his allies cred. On a site explicitly created for women, that’s annoying

And, as ever, the top two comments are from men who comment early and on absolutely everything.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGh. She’s reminding me of how I am whenever I breakup with someone. For the next few months, I’m like, “Yeah, it didn’t work out, but we can still be friends. We’re still hanging out. He’s my best friend.” And then I slowly realize this person is not my best friend... they shouldn’t be in my life

When asked by Dutch reporters to address his comments at Wednesday’s press conference, Hoekstra—a former Republican congressman from Michigan—stood tight-lipped, while the Danish media grew more and more frustrated.
