He’s of the old school that believes rape only happens if the victim is grabbed by a stranger in the night.
He probably believes if a woman voluntarily enters a situation which may or may not be a precursor to sex, then they should expect sex. If that wasn’t their intention, they shouldn’t have been there.
Antiquated…

Sadly, it’s not surprising at all. For people like him, rape is “just sex.” They don’t (or don’t want to) understand that it’s a violent crime committed against one’s will.

Just because he did something that isn’t illegal doesn’t mean he’s not an asshole.

This guy basically sounds like he doesn’t believe in the concept of rape. It’s angering, but not surprising, that he occupied the bench for so long considering. I guess you don’t actually have to believe in the laws or the rights of citizens to be free from sexual violence to be a Canadian judge.

THE COURT: I hope you don’t live too long, Ms. Mograbee.

She doesn’t want the pictures released and he’s doing it anyway. She agreed to a photo shoot for a magazine in 2012 not for his book.

I’m sure there is a way Leder could sound more like a creepy ass, I’m just hard pressed to figure out exactly how.

Well. He’s a scumbag.

You guys, I’ve given up hope. I don’t have it in me to fight against the clusterfuck that’s coming because I don’t see what we can do you stop it. I don’t think protests work in our current climate, non violent protest only works against an opponent capable of feeling shame. Its not even Trumpenfürer that’s the worst,…

My paternal genetic donor who is a trump supporter loves going on about the articles he reads on Facebook like they are the holy grail of knowledge.

“That’s been around forever. If you keep reporting on it, it’s going to grow like a cancer,” Paula said. “If you forget about it, it’s probably going to go away. The media has to hop on everything and it’s wrong.”

My holiday card this year says “Happy Holidays” in ten different languages and I’m giving them to all my miserable Republican neighbors along with $25 donated to “liberal” causes in their names.

I have to laugh that it’s always the left labeled special snowflakes when grown ass adult Trump supporters are fighting with Broadway, Starbucks and Kelloggs all at once. Boycott Froot Loops and Pop-Tarts!

I want to read this but I don’t know if I can with my already high blood pressure.

Well, that synopsis was chilling. Probably because (as Stassa points out) that fiction is close enough to touch.

I have friends (I’m 31, for reference) who still call their fathers “Daddy” and it weirds me out. But then again, I call my dad “Derek”.

Stupid hat? Check.

I have a friend from Minnesota whose son is named “Axel,” but it’s a family name, they’re Scandinavian, and they live in Minnesota, so it’s cool.

Balthazar? Axel? Afton? That’s quite enough now, please stop.

No. Papa is Grandpa.
