Those things are not mutually exclusive. Women can be afraid for their safety and men can be afraid of false accusations at the same time.

No corroborating evidence if we use the GOP standard so “Clinton did it” isn’t a defense in this case.

What on earth is wrong with a sex tape? It just feels like slut shaming to keep bringing this up.

How could Kanye be bad for the brand of someone who got famous from a sex tape?

You’re argument might hold water if Argento and McGowan had merely come forward as victims, but that’s just not the case. From the beginning, they’ve positioned themselves as outspoken representatives and leaders in the movement. And leaders do need to meet certain standards. Like not being transphobic. Or statutory…

But honestly: Fuck it, fuck him, fuck the whole fucking thing. We’re out.

Why is it the most obnoxious people on the internet always calling other people shit like "garbage fire" and typing up articles with their panties in the world's biggest knot? Is it a secret handshake within the woke community?

It’s difficult to view #metoo writers like this one as interested in anything other than their own career advancement. They aren’t interested in truth or change: they are only interesting in scapegoating and sensationalizing, and they don’t let actual facts get in the way.

To use Louis CK as an example - out of the…

This sounds an awful lot like women regretting sex. A lot of focus on men not knowing that the consensual sex was unenthusiastic, little focus on the women’s behavior with respect to consent withdrawn after the fact and lack of agency. You don’t like how you are being treated? Say no and break up. Gaslighting is now…

I’m a survivor of child sexual abuse , a few assaults and spousal rape.

Oh, what you’re saying isn’t strictly true, which you obviously know, but I genuinely do not believe you posses the desire to understand or care about the minutiae here. I think you’re too angry and too content to soothe that anger by using the broadest strokes you can. Have a terrible day. Just...a genuinely awful,…

Yes, it’s been so easy for Catholic church abuse victims to obtain justice. Jesus Christ, are you fucking retarded? Who pits different categories of victims against each other?

The thing is, I don’t think she was consciously lying about any of it. People are the heroes and victims of their personal life stories. In most bad relationships both parties bring at least a little something to the toxic table.

I read a blind item that insinuated that Hardwick and the Hearst family hired a bot farm to defend his honor on twitter, and I wouldn’t put it past them to get into comment sections as well. Unfortunately, I know some very real people (women at that) who defend him as well. 

While an apology doesn’t need to be accepted or lauded or anything, you’ve conveniently misrepresented CK’s apology as “less than satisfactory” when people on this very site, the NYT, etc, were getting up votes for saying his apology was actually sincere. Repeat, doesn’t dictate that his apology need be accepted by…

Politics is bad, twitter is poison, put them together and you see the worst of people. Progressive, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, doesn’t matter people are blinded by politics and twitters anonymity brings out the worse in them. Thank you for being a sane and decent person.

Aren’t there texts showing that Dykstra wanted to reconcile with Hardwick months after their relationship ended? That does hurt her credibility somewhat. Carrolla was just sticking up for a friend he believes is innocent. Nothing toxic about that. Trial by media on the hand...
