I’m starting to think this masterpiece might have been dumb luck.

Just saying.

She didn’t let him abuse her. She reported his misconduct and got him fired. Although I am impressed with the way you dealt with your stalker, those tactics do not work in every case. Some jerks just escalate right back. Some (like the guy in the article) become murderers. There’s no one absolutely effective way to…

Republicans would say she had every chance to buy her own gun and because she didn’t it’s her fault he killed her. What was she thinking, telling a guy she didn’t want to date and forgetting to arm herself?

During his confession, O’Kroley told the police “it was easy to kill” Nosal because “she had ruined my life.”

Very smart lawyer. She doesn’t go near the actual allegations of assault, no mention on her part about denying the punching, slapping and hairpulling took place, but focusing on the credibility of the women. The sad part is, there’s no handbook on how to act after you’ve been assaulted by someone, so like some people…

I get, in general, why police and defense attorneys will bring it up. It’s part of their job - BUT, there’s got to be tons of training and research out there that discusses post-trauma behavior, how that might differ from one’s expected impressions, etc. I think that needs to be better taught to those in our justice…

I think the whole point is that it’s not. We have a narrow and false view of how “real” victims are supposed to act, and we question their victimhood when they defy that rather than noticing that some “weird” behaviors of victims are actually common, and that there really isn’t a “typical” response to being assaulted.

I’m not sure the accusers have tripped on peripheral details. The first accuser claimed she was deeply disturbed when she saw Ghomeshi’s face on the television or heard him on the radio after the alleged incident. Turns out she had sent him flirty emails after the alleged attack. She claimed it was “bait” but her…

What genre is this? Is this like the time I watched “Closer” and thought that someone was going to get murdered at any moment?

This movie looks excruciating. I cannot wait to mock it on Netflix. Invite a few friends over, open some wine, let the smartassery commence!

I was once in the window seat of a row of three. There was a gentleman in the aisle seat. As the boarding process ended, it became clear that the middle seat was to remain blissfully empty and I felt immediate relief, until the gentleman picked himself up, scooted over, and started to lower his ass into the vacant…

I was a little taken aback by that too, then I read that he - and he alone - exposed this to about a million and a half people who might otherwise never have seen it, and who, predictably, then spread it further. That’s more than being a garbage person, that’s causing real harm.

AGREED. No one is holding these sexual predators accountable!!! A mother will though.

I disagree. I think a lot of men actually don’t care that much about their wives or girlfriends (sad but true), but wouldn’t want their mother to know that they’re engaging in gross sexual harassment of a stranger. I think “telling on” a man to his mother is the ultimate way to get through to this kind of guy. Very…

I don’t see it that way. I would want to know if any of my relatives where sexually harassing women online so that I could stop any contact with them. Tolerance of misogyny is just as troubling as the act. I stopped speaking to my aunt and cousins after she tried get me to stop called out my cousin on his misogyny.…

I read this as the action of a woman who has been pushed to the breaking point. All bets are off after that. I would personally be tempted to go even further and post them publicly with identifying information. *She* doesn’t want these photos, either. Why should she be obligated to protect these dicks? (Word carefully…

As a mother I wouldn’t want to see it, but if any of my four boys did something like this I would surely wonder what the hell I did wrong. And the recipient sending me the proof of their misogynistic bullshit would not make me mad at her, but they would get the FULL weight of my shame in their ear (or text messages.)

Would have preferred to see him caught before he raped eight women, but in this day and age, seeing him go down for this in an unequivocal way is satisfying.
