Ordinary locks do that — it wouldn’t be worth noting, I think?

Take a look at Garrison Keillor’s excuse — it was just a one-time casual, accidental contact.

“all it takes now is one woman to say something and you’re fired!”

There were tweets (by men) on Twitter this morning that were liked hundreds of times, whining about how “all it takes now is one woman to say something and you’re fired!”

The worst detail by far is this: according to two of the women accusing Lauer of sexual assault, he had a button under his desk that locked the door from the inside, allowing him the “privacy” to “welcome female employees and initiate inappropriate contact while knowing nobody could walk in on him.”

Right? It’s hard to reverse decades of what you’ve been told. It reminded of my great-grandmother, who had a limited education and voted for President the first year women could legally do so. They all rode a bus into town and men shouted at them that their votes wouldn’t count. She voted every year. So of course she…

Well, was she awful in the previous ~70 years she’s been a celebrity? Because if she just started saying awful stuff when she’s less than a decade away from her centennial, there’s a really good chance that there’s a legit psychological issue going on, and not that she decided to suddenly let her inner fuckface out…

Yes, absolutely. Back in the day, rape was hushed, too, because it was so shameful — for the woman.

Yes! Everybody knows that women who cannot bathe or have regular access to hygiene products never get assaulted! Just ask a homeless person!

(The Great) Emma Thompson had an interview a few weeks ago in whihc she said in the old days the older ladies would ask “Is he pestering you?” The word pestering encompassing catcalls, bullying, and persistent sexual harrasment.

I never thought I’d have to say “Shut the fuck up, Angela Lansbury,” but shut the fuck up, Angela Lansbury!

My dad and step-mom were complaining about the “witch hunt” and my step-mom (who teaches music) was talking about how her male peers are all so terrified of being accused of something and how hard this is on them.

This strikes me as part II to Mayim Bialik’s bitter piece about how it’s prettier slutty women’s fault she didn’t have a more successful acting career.

The only Hammer detail it missed - and it probably shouldn’t go there - is the bizarre irony of him playing a Cold War spy when his grandfather was, basically, a Cold War Soviet money launderer and probable spy. Wanna talk second chances? His grandfather literally plead guilty to money laundering as part of the…

I think part of it is that it wasn’t as talked about as it is now. My grandmother (who is 95) says basically the same thing—she was never harassed, she didn’t know anyone who was harassed, and she doesn’t understand why people who do get harassed don’t say anything. She claims that back in her day if you were…

My friend had an interview at the University I work. The department chair of PoliSci couldn’t keep his eyes off her chest the entire time. She was so uncomfortable she reported it.

Armie Hammer liked a bunch of bondage stuff on Twitter, possibly without realizing that those were public, before quitting.

Most women fall into one of two harassment categories - those who know they have been harassed and those who do not realize the treatment they have endured qualifies as harassment.

I had the exact same response as this person to seeing her name everywhere this morning. Guhhhhhh.

It is ridiculous. I’ve heard some people using the “she’s really old!” excuse. Fuck that, Angela, all that means is you’re old enough to know better and have some fucking compassion.
