Do you know someone this has happened to? ....seems like YOU are the one who should be linking me to a study that tries to prove your point. I can link you to plenty of data that prove mine. I'm not saying being called anorexic is awesome. I'm saying it is not equivalent to what overweight people go through in our…

At this point, I see one of two possibilities for you:

When thin women are accused of having an eating disorder, here's what happens: they feel bad, they get shamed, and then they go back to being the desired body type in our current society, an idea reinforced constantly in the media and the world at large.

And go over with me quickly again why it's a biological imperative for someone to be able to wear shorts or sleeveless shirts in a courtroom? You seem to enjoy skirting that part of the argument.

There are laws specifically protecting the rights of breastfeeding women in public, so yes. I missed the law specifically protecting your right to rock a sleeveless shirt, but if it exists, please do let me know.

Oh. Okay. No, you cannot piss in a jar in public, since it is illegal to expose one's genitals in most places. So happy we cleared that up for you.

I suppose it is subjective, but there are a lot of data that support the idea that overweight people are treated more harshly by society. Data about heavier kids being ignored in classrooms, companies being less likely to hire overweight people...the list goes on.

Does another human's nutrition depend on your ability to be able to pee into a jar? That's fascinating, can you tell me more about that?

Aw, yeah. You seem super feminist, making sure everyone is questioning someone who identifies as a survivor as much as possible. Keep up the good work, feminist (oh, and make sure not to address any of the other points I made).

He's not on trial. In fact, this will never go to trial, because the statute of limitations is expired.

Rephrasing my earlier comment: #s 7, 8, and 10 are based on (I presume) nothing more than what Woody and Soon-Yi told the author. That doesn't really make them indisputable facts in my book.

Did LDR for 4 years, we now live together. And it was long long distance - we were about a 6 hr flight apart. I think it worked because a) we are both fairly independent and introverted people who don't need/want to be constantly social. b) we made time for each other. You can't be in a LDR if it's just doing…

They're just a really special kind of mean. Sort of in a vindictive way, if birds can be vindictive.

In general principle I agree with you, but there's "feminist-leaning website will probably side with the alleged survivor" bias, and then there's "author is actual friends with the accused molester" bias.

Yeah, but it pointed them out as a method of casting doubt on this whole situation. I fail to see how "Mia Farrow cheated on Woody and slept with married men" is super relevant in whether or not we believe Dylan's accusations, which she has stuck by since she made them. He presented it as like, "Wait, before you…

I think they very carefully worded this article to suggest they weren't necessarily in solidarity.

Oh my god, I love it! It's soooo 1994! Even the camera angles feel so retro (or, you know, current CBS).

I don't really remember the specifics of that show, since I was a kid, but I remember enjoying it. I also read that Margaret Cho said the network shouted her down a lot and forced the writing in a certain direction, so it didn't end up being the product she wanted. Hopefully the right voices are heard this time…

Good question, I'm not sure. Chafing is a good guess.

I loooved All-American Girl, Margaret Cho's sitcom in '94. I can't (well, I can, sadly) believe it's taken 20 years for another broadcast sitcom with an Asian-American family, unless there's one I'm not thinking of.
