Use of “methinks” = all preceding words invalid. Dork.

Why don’t we ask the hundreds of women who were terrorized, humiliated, and lost years of career momentum and earning power? Whose relationships fell apart? Who never saw their harassers, and in some cases rapists, even have to directly apologize, let alone go to court?

Seriously. Am I supposed to feel bad if CK or others don’t get their own TV show again? No one is preventing these guys from having a job and providing for themselves and their family. Show business depends on folks paying to see you work, and if enough of us don’t want to hear you talk anymore, then go do something…

NO.

1)Ms. Hill shows up LATE (like hours late. HOURS) monologues excessively when she does perform with no sense of connection or empathy with the audience who had to save (and sometimes scrimp) to come see her, and will perform maybe 20 minutes of a 90 minute set (that she, again, showed up late for) before feeling ‘overw…

YES! Also, what I can’t get over is the fact that there are plenty of other amazing stand ups who are worthy of filling the space left behind, people who haven’t done the horrible things that CK did. He had his time, he made his money, he fucked it up--BYE. Let’s give someone else a chance. 

Yes, exactly. And mental healthcare is still WAY under-covered by insurance. *All* my costs are out of pocket. And piggybacking off your point about missed work - mental health stigma also translates to missed opportunities for growth in the workplace, and also shouldering the hefty burden that is mental health discrim…

Say it!

There are plenty of reasons for Perry to want her deposition sealed. She may not want her name involved in this. If you’re an artist known for your frothy feel good pop, being in the news as a potential rape victim isn’t really “on brand”. She may be trying to support Kesha knowing that the fact she wasn’t abused by…

Being a big rich celebrity on tv isn’t a basic human right. Lots of celebrities are succesful for a while before they decline. I have absolutely no problem with him not being on tv anymore. He can go wherever has-beens go. Hang out with Boy George and Vanilla Ice. He has deserved it.

I feel like these guys are hoping for forgiveness (or maybe just... forget-ness?), but they’re skipping the steps where you really work to acknowledge, not minimize, the harm you did, AND you take steps to make things right. Forgiveness shouldn’t automatically happen because time passes, and victims don’t owe it to…

Yeah, I have a couple theories myself. Yours is one (or two). The other one is that she was assaulted but lied in the deposition for any number of reasons like ... I didn’t ask for this and I don’t want to be in it.

I have two theories: 1) she never asked to be brought into this case and wants to distance herself from it 2) she doesn’t want to harm Kesha’s arguments by making it look like she lied or made up an accusation. 

Aretha Franklin was notorious for being a controlling perfectionist.

I would also like to point out that Louis getting back into the business throws an admitted predator into the work place for these comedians. Women will continue to feel unsafe in a business that basically says that a famous man is more important than a safe work environment.

I already commented on Bobby’s post but I’m so mad I’m here too, lol. The concept of the pink tax, where the wage gape widens because of price discrimination and additional costs of living for women, really should include bills for the therapy we are far more likely to need, after being far more likely to experience…

Until a person who has committed an offense has actually acknowledged what they’ve done, apologized, and made every effort to make amends, I refuse to accept them as a fellow human. I don’t care if it’s cutting me off in traffic or murder.

As a woman in a predominantly and historically male field, I get it. Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones will always have respect before they enter the room. A black woman will have to earn that respect again and again and again.

Men shouldn’t have sex if they’re not prepared to accept that the woman may get an abortion.

The man who cited the Holocaust now runs an archipelago of concentration camps for children. Get lost, you fucking hypocrite.
