No, I understand where the anger is, absolutely, and I’m not saying it’s not valid. I just, personally, thought after reading this that he is a pushy, horny guy who can’t (or maybe won’t) pick up on when a girl is uncomfortable, and thinks that, even thought she had told him she wasn’t completely into to it, by

UGH I just read her whole account. He absolutely acted like a horny disrespectful asshole, and no matter what she did with him if she wants to stop, then you stop. Which he didn’t, he just kept thinking by saying whatever he was saying and doing whatever the hell he was doing she was going to give in.

Oh man. I’m sort of with you here. I don’t know. I understand she was in a position where she didn’t want to offend him, and as a woman we’ve all been there......but after a certain point, you have to speak up for yourself, especially since, going by the article, she didn’t feel physically threatened. You can’t just

“I used several non-verbal queues”???

In Massachusetts, we call that the Tom Menino Theory of Governance: competence, not charisma.

I don’t really l care about Seal or his thoughts, but I don’t want Oprah to run for president.

Only the Marzipan posts in Barf Bag are more than OK, IMO.

Thanks! And you’re probably right, unfortunately. It’s amazing to me that so many men seem to never question whether or not we need their opinions on anything. I constantly ask myself if I really need to add my voice to articles even for spaces that are centered on my experiences, so how do they never do that kind of

Them on every new sexual harassment/assault reveal: “Wow, noted creep is a creep.”

What’s ironic is that even as we comment on posts about women being brave and refusing to back down, so many women, including me, feel sheepish and “mean” for saying that self-professed allies should be self-aware enough to realize they are taking up too much bandwidth.

To top it off I think there are a heck of a lot less ungreyed commenters around. I’ve been watching the numbers on the little air bubble over an article headline and the numbers are much lower than I remember them being. Which probably makes the voices of the dudes who comment here ‘louder’ if there are less of the

I posted about this the other day, as well, and got a lot of slack from female commenters as well as my least favourite of the everywhere-men commenting all over the thread without actually engaging with me. So...gird your loins!

I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and

Dude, I like you and your comments, but at this point it seems you’re just as obsessed as she is. This copy and paste in the first comments of a SNS is pointless. I’m sorry you’re in an ongoing feud but the two of you seem to feed off one another. Maybe just dismiss her?

off topic, but no one in this thread can spell “indiscretions”

The studio were cheap a-holes. They made a financial move to replace spacey (there is no way they were motivated by morals) and pretended it was a moral decision to get people to work for free. They should have compensated Williams fairly. Sure, if it turned out her reshoots were easier they could have paid her less

“Hey, want to go see that new Mark Wahlberg movie? I don’t know what it’s about, but it must be good if he’s in it.”
— absolutely no one, ever

I was shocked to discover he was the highest paid actor in Hollywood last year. The guy has the emotional range of a fire hydrant. In the movie, it’s comical how they put him in

I saw a few people going “She needs to fire her agent!” She and Mark Wahlberg have the same agent...

His “youthful indisgressions” are horrific. When talking about famous black people , some love mention that Jay - Z once sold drugs, and therefore will always be a shitbag, but will absolutely admire Walberg and watch his movies. From Wikipedia:

I hope this triggers his victims to speak up. Because I have no doubt that he has a long list of sexual harassment/assault victims as well as race based harassment/assault victims. This is the douche who created Entourage and didn’t mind telling you that it was based on his life because he could see no problem with
