I may be giving her too much benefit of the doubt and I agree this came out of her mouth in the worst possible way, but people are basically asking her to explain why she was not the victim of a known sexual predator, and she has to explain that she is probably not his type because she is not conventionally “hot” -…

I took it (as a fellow full-figured cisgender lady myself) as the fact that most straight men do not see heavier women as sex objects. I experience this daily myself— if you are not on someone’s f*ckable rating chart, you are often invisible to them. The part that didn’t sit right w/me is where she said she’d hit them…

Kelly is very open and frank, as well as self-deprecating. I read to say that NO ONE, not even her, thinks of her in a sexy way. I don’t hear her blaming Kesha for anything.

Predators are very socially aware people. I think want Kelly is trying to say is that she had a lot of power in a way, so people couldn’t mess with her. Kesha came up a completely different way, in a way that Dr. Luke probably exploited.

THIS. “Bless your heart”generally means something along the line of “poor thing, you are really trying and it is just not going your way” - which depending on context and tone can have all of the deeper meanings you listed.

‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”

It’s nice for him, but I think she might be forgetting about herself, there. Though she appears to think little of it as far as I can tell, Jennifer is conspicuously very intelligent.

Right? So nice and warm in the sun...but that shadow! The loneliest, coldest place to find yourself.

I have read several pieces about her over the years, and have seen several interviews on late night talk shows and such. She has always talked about how much she loves his brain. He is no dummy; he made near perfect scores on his SATs and is estimated to have an IQ in the 150s. As someone who is highly attracted to…

“‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”

The way she described Ben reminds me of many women’s relationship with narcissistic men (I know that n word is thrown around a lot, but I think it’s an epidemic in this culture.) Reaaaally trying to avoid ever being with anyone who is Brilliant And Generous And Charismatic but makes me feel small. Big people should…

Can’t find a flaw in that.

It’s great to see your points, because the flip side to so many people saying (correctly) we need to look at her record is that we need to do it fairly. People hold the crime bill against her despite the fact that she wasn’t a legislator then, but then ignore something like SCHIP which she actually worked for and was…

BEHOLD MY SATANIC HERD

I’m probably biased as an attorney, but I don’t think these things are as intuitive as you may believe. Employee manuals that lay out clear expectations of staff are always needed, IMHO.

“Why is there no oversight?”

The GOP has been slashing budgets for virtually any kind of oversight anywhere and hence, there is virtually *no oversight* left.

“What if I got my puppy from a breeder in Canada?” A small child asked in the crowd.

Ha, we have one that will chew holes in anything left on the floor. I would love to say that now I put everything away where it belongs, but the piles of “outfits” (one for pjs, one for workout clothes, one for OH MY GOD I HAVE TO WEAR PANTS AND A BRA) in my closet where he can’t get at them would make me a liar.
