Yeah, his excuse was basically one of those “I tripped and my hand accidentally ended up under her shirt” excuses.

Maybe it’s not just that you think you wouldn’t get away with it...but that you’re actually a decent human being who knows that you wouldn’t treat people that way? I hope?

Lauer is the whole reason Mr. Secondgoaround and I didn’t watch the parade. Your mom called it!

Genuine question from mom of a teen boy who said the same thing about Lewinsky and Clinton: how did you explain it? I stumbled in my explanation and want to revisit it with him.

Oh yes!! Not Levar please!

Obama, Jimmy Carter, and posthumous allegations against Fred Rogers. Those are literally the only three that would surprise me.

I wonder if powerful, predatory men who have done these heinous things have been sweating it out for the past several weeks, waiting for the axe to fall on them, too. I hope Lauer was.

“...their air vents feel like an asthmatic gnat blowing through a cocktail straw” is going into my Journal of Funny Things I Read Today. 

I cringe as soon as I open Twitter each morning now. So afraid I’m gonna see grim news about some hidden evil side of Tom Hanks. Or...Mister Rogers.

I thought it was good except for the part of the sentence that some men cannot BEAR to leave out (“While I don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit as Leanne does....”).

I am getting those FedEx ads here today too! They’re awful.

I’m so tired of reading things like, “While I don’t remember that incident happening the way she said it did...” Dude, that’s the whole POINT. That is exactly what we’re trying to say. IT WASN’T WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS. It wasn’t funny or harmless. Telling us AGAIN in your apology that you “don’t remember it that way”…

Damn. THIS. Thank you. #metoo

Oh that guy. I saw, and participated in, that deliberately obtuse idiot’s attempt at “trying to understand” until I thought, “Do I really want to waste time convincing some troll why this was wrong?”

These are questions I’m thinking of right now as I raise pre-teen sons and daughter. I had a boyfriend once who whispered the sexiest thing, mid-kissing session: “I’ll leave it to you to show me what you want, okay?” and put his hand in mine (indicating that I could move his hand to where I wanted it). I’ve always…

I have been more fortunate than many others. The vast majority of men I’ve come in contact with — either as lovers, friends, casual acquaintances, or strangers — have been polite and have not pushed against my “no.”

I believe that was what the original poster was pointing out - that certain Southerners might be shocked to realize that they HAVE been gender-neutral all along by saying “y’all.”

Last year, my husband and I watched the documentary “To Be Takei.” We were both uncomfortable about the dynamic between Takei and his husband, Brad Altman. I’d loved Takei for years, but after the documentary, my admiration of him dropped considerably. I get that a documentary is just one little view, carefully…

This is the best example I’ve read in years.

You said you’re a member of the kink community. So am I. Let me use an example to illustrate this point. When I to a local kink party, I may see someone who I know shares my particular kink. I know because I’ve seen that person acting out that kink with someone before. (Already I am way beyond CK - he had no way of…
