I simultaneously am grateful that she came forward, and feel sad for her for the ordeal that she is about to endure.

The apple did not fall far from the tree.

The Rethugs are really boxed in. Rapey Kavanaugh’s preppy-bro-buddy wrote a bunch of horrible, rapey articles and books bout his time at their prep school, even referencing Kavanaugh himself using a winky version of his name. Their yearbooks are full of rapey, scary shit talking and girls’ names they probably abused.…

when you learn at the feet of your father that a good ice breaker is grabbing a woman by the pussy, then yeah, sexual assault is 100% adorably asking her out.

There are lots of Tweets out from women— older women— talking about similar things happened to them in high school. As a middle-aged white guy, I still have to ask: what the FUCK is wrong with you guys? Perhaps I don’t give me parents enough credit because I never felt like I was lectured about this, but you just…

If I am ever accused of burglary I will find 65 homeowners to write a note saying I did not rob them. Bet that would work positively in my favour. Maybe I will go out and get those signatures today, just in case I am ever tempted .

Damn.

I wish I could send my support to her in some way, this is going to be tough, but sane women everywhere understand and appreciate the incredible sacrifice she is making. One tiny silver lining of this whole thing is I think a lot of people who weren’t taught about Anita Hill learned a lot more about her bravery and con…

Sending all the good vibes in the world to Dr. Ford. No woman deserves what happened to her, or what she’s going through now.

I think it’s a valid method, however it’s also less effective, requires more work and organisation, and I think it’s better for older women in steady relationships. If your life resembles that, great. But it’s not a method I would recommend to younger women, women who aren’t in committed relationships or who don’t…

Thank you! I may have had to call my own momma first to confirm my red flags and practice my talking points, so I can’t take credit alone!

I had to fire my white British dog walker (i’m a black american living in London) for saying that “racism no longer exists” and that he doesn’t understand why black people are still upset about slavery bc it’s not like anyone they knew were slaves.

I had to have a hard conversation with a mom I babysit about the bad creepy vibes I’ve been getting about her good friend’s husband (who is also the dad of her kid’s best friend.) I had been really nervous beforehand but it ended up going really well (as well as one of those talks can go, it would be better to not…

Also, I’m definitely going to therapy. 

I was waiting for Pie-pie’s craft thread, but heck, I feel like showing off my husband’s latest beadwork:

I refused to let my four year old watch any more TV today and he told me to go to jail. Kids are a trip. Haha

I’m finally early enough to have a chance at participating! I lurk a lot here or my comments don’t get seen because I’m responding at like 2am pacific time.

Oh thank god for this thread that’s designed to be hijacked. Where else to turn? I just had a two hour discussion with my husband in which I repeatedly asked him if he finds me attractive, and every time he changed the subject. FML. Or rather, FMM.

After watching all this nightmare unfold on our southeastern coast, my egg donor deduced that the housing market here in KC is going to be hot AF in a couple years when Florida gets submerged. To that end she has announced she’s bought 6 properties in the city. She plans on keeping them ‘as is’ and selling them at a…
