Well, probably unbeknownst to most those starring me, that’s exactly how I meant it...

You say that like it’s a curse instead of a benediction. That’s where the heroes went.

THANK YOU for your research-driven, nuanced, and compassionate response.

Oh, come on. You know that if she didn’t respond, people would’ve written op-eds being like, “Why hasn’t Hillary responded? Does she endorse sexual harassment?” Everything Hillary Clinton does and does not do is news and has been since at least 1992.

I did research on workplace sexual harassment in law school. I’m hardly an expert, but a lot of my research showed that a reason some victims do not come forward is that they do not actually want to ruin their harasser’s life and get him fired. For some victims, they want a more restorative approach (counselling,…

Can we stop with the Clinton shit. She is no longer news. She is not the president. She is not actively destroying our country. She is a flawed person who has made a fair amount of stupid decisions in her life. She has also been attacked relentlessly for her mistakes. And also for everything else she has ever done. It…

Rest assured, things would be better than they are now. We’d have the same problems we did under Obama, and boy we all wish we could go back to then.

Yes, it would have been better.

I saw the statement in Facebook right after it was posted, didn’t even think about the SOTU. I liked the statement, I understood her reasoning and her regret. She makes no bones about the fact that hindsight is 20/20, in fact she devoted one of many paragraphs to that idea.

Have you been kept in stasis too, girls been out for years...

I have no idea who Janelle Monáe is

A quick Google search says she did a children’s album that won a Grammy, so congrats to her!

Sweet crispy Jesus, Lisa Loeb hasn’t aged since the ‘90s. Somewhere in her attic is an aging portrait or a bled-out virgin.

Hi Woody. Didn’t know you had a Kinja account.

This Aziz Ansari story has really shaken me. As some of you may remember (or maybe not, I’m certainly not that important), a month or two ago something finally clicked in my head- that I had been sexually assaulted when I was a teenager by my boyfriend at the time. We were both 16 (plus or minus a year, I can’t quite…

1. We do have a term for it - sexual coercion. It covers encounters like this that aren’t necessarily illegal, but aren’t exactly super consensual either, because one person made the other person feel like they couldn’t refuse sex. When someone is ignoring your attempts to shut sex down, it’s hard to be 100% sure that…

Gavin DeBecker also has a quote in that very book that says something along the lines of “the first time you’re a victim; the second time you’re a volunteer.” So...he’s a tad problematic.

Third LW, look into codependency literature (Codependent No More is a big one most people like) and maybe go to some CODA meetings. Usually an inability to turn people down or cut toxic people out of your life is a sign of a more serious problem. It might help to practice saying no. Pick a week and tell yourself that…

Maybe the first letter writer should just go straight for a restraining order. Seems like the most appropriate course of action, as I don’t know what the police would do exactly (generally, police departments don’t always know how to handle stalking or even take it seriously, which is what I’m guessing this would fall…

god woody allen is a fuck. i went from casually disliking his movies, to actively hating everything associated with him.

ye olde... she was coached gambit seems a little weak, when you married the 14yr old daughter you groomed as a pedophile

I sincerely hope anyone that works with him... and not just women. men, money…
