Thank you, I appreciate that. The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is widely used and reputable, for sure, though I’m not finding the stats you stated above within it. I can’t find dates for the numbers in the first reference, and I will say it runs contrary to everything my agency knows about…

I was also molested as a 15 year old. When I reported it to a family member (years later, because I was embarrassed and didn’t tell anyone until I was 20 years old), I was told that as a 15 year old, I should have known better. Another family said “Well, you were always a bit immature growing up” as if that excused…

I’d say let him have enough rope to hang himself but you know we can’t let people like him have any rope.

A temper tantrum worthy of a spoiled 3 year old.

“It looks like you’re trying to blame the victim. Can I help you put together a misleading chart?”

I know normally this case would be laughed out of court. The ability to criticize elected officials is literally the point of the First Amendment. But he filed in state court and probably has a lot of friends on the bench. So, this could have some life in it.

No one should be able to amass that much wealth when 16 million children go hungry everyday or when 30+ million people still don’t have healthcare in the US.

How certain are you that you’ve never worked with a sexual harasser?

Oh, this is fucking rich. The same men who go online and troll message boards with “Well, why didn’t she come forward & speak up sooner?” are willing to hide behind “Confrontation is harrrrd” when asked why they did nothing to stop a crime.

If he REALLY was treating this like a business and not as a vindictive dick-bag, he would attempted to sell it, sell the assets, restructure it, or numerous other things that would have allowed him to recover/make money.

They don’t face lighter consequences.

Exactly. Sounds like he’s guilty of “speaking while black.” He didn’t make the request with sufficiently white vocabulary and speaking patterns, therefore they can claim ignorance of what is a very straightforward request.

I love when child rape apologists say “oh but what if they are still together and have kids and it was true love?” If the foundation for your love is child rape, it’s not true love. It doesn’t matter if the victim is Stockholm Syndromed enough to be with you when they grow up. That doesn’t mean you didn’t commit a…

At 14, I was working on beating the Legend of Zelda.

“But she’s so mature for her age!” - guys I know who justify dating teenagers.

The difference between a 19 year old and a 14 year old is huge. By 19, I was supporting myself and a sophomore in college.

I don’t get it. This was ALWAYS a labored and lame bit. Only now are people realizing this?

I blame the media for salivating over SNL’s toothless satire.

Baldwin is a great actor, but he doesn’t get Trump. He just plays him a goofy buffoon. Anthony Atamanuik gets 45's derangement.

It never ceases to amaze me how people treat cooking, cleaning, errand running and bill paying as these “heroic” activities (ex, OMG a MAN is doing dishes, and “I’m a SAHM CEO super mommy”) when in reality it’s basic shit that adults do to function in the world.
