Guys act so crazy sometimes that I’m actually scared, when a guy likes me. I’ve had guys do a Jekyll & Hyde on me in mid sentence. Out of nowhere I’ve had a guy try to kiss me, another started talking about sex or trying to touch me. And I’m like what the heck, weren’t we just talking about my air conditioner, car…

I feel you and also BEEN THERE. People with power will throw you under a train and then blow up a file folder with shit about this, that, and every other kind of BS they can think of to fill it. Cause they got to PROVE you needed to be under a train AND that you deserved it (also see: The Narcissist’s Prayer)
I wish I felt surprised but Mad Men is a show that knows a lot about how a man who believes that he truly likes some specific women and thinks of those specific women as worthy and possibly even equals still constantly abuses his power over women.
This happened to me, not as explicit as wanting to see me naked, but grossly ‘romantic’, inappropriate, and scary because we were the only two people in the office, late in the evening. And later on when I gave my notice to resign (he was my boss) he treated me like shit, and after I left I found out that he lied to…
It definitely must be a messy and complex situation for family members. In this case, part of the defense was that the mother was fabricating everything to extort money from Nicki. I can’t imagine how it must feel to realize your brother is not only guilty but actively used you as part of his defense.
I’m so happy for that little girl. Justice has actually been done for once. It didn’t matter who her rapist’s sister was or how much money they have, she got her justice. Thank you Lord! You came through for this poor girl. May she now find healing and support. This is only the first step. The scars of rape are with…
I know what you mean. This is very triggering for me too but when I found out he was found guilty, I literally screamed in joy. One rape victims justice is all our justice. We are together in this. Peace and love.
I’ve kind of avoided this story for triggering personal reasons, so this is the first time I’ve read it. I’m crying for what that girl and her family have been put through. I hope they find peace and healing.
in case the story is “damaging,”
She’s got a good point. It’s also, in this field, not as if there aren’t a thousand talented and trained people willing to step up and NOT harass anyone for every Rudin, Weinstein, or Sheen.
That’s generally how I try to hire people. I can easily train them in the skills required for the job. I can’t train them not to be idiots and assholes.
Maybe it’s a different category, like intimidating assholes as opposed to conniving assholes.
Sources told the Times that the woman unlocked her husband’s cellphone while he was sleeping by putting his unresponsive finger to its scanner and going through his messages.
Oh my god, I can relate to this. Went through his phone when he went to the bathroom cause he had been pretty damn bad about hiding it earlier that day. Bam. Most recent text convo.
The way people get so bumfuzzled about the “he said/she said” nature of some sexual assaults is mind boggling to me. It’s as if the listener, for the time and space of hearing the sexual assault story only, utterly loses all sense of risk, motivation, and consequences. What possible motivation would a woman have to…
It seems like so many men think that if they don’t have a burning, all-consuming hatred for women in the forefront of their conscious brains, that this automatically means that they respect women. Like, if they don’t actually think the words “what a fucking cunt” they are okay.
Spoiler alert: 60 years later, he’s still whining.
Oh good, more Prince Philip whining. :/
