To paraphrase a guy in the HuffPo comments section, “I’ve been very very gay. I’ve been very very drunk. Neither has ever resulted in me making a move on a 14 year-old.”

And Bill O’Reilly’s book publisher dropped him today.
Well, that explains that creepy smile.
Sadly, your girls will likely live with this sort of stuff as a constant presence in their lives. Unwanted male attention starts so early. Like age 11. The comments start about then (from both peers and older men—gross) and they don’t stop. If you’re lucky, that’s all it ever is, a steady stream of male commentary…
A kinder, gentler serial abuser.

It happened to me, many a year ago. I was serving an American couple and got to chatting with them, they told me that with my customer service skills and education I could make sooooooo much more money in the States. Which...was nice, I guess? They meant to compliment me? Then they left a shitty tip and went their…
The amount of confused old men who have groped me or made inappropriate comments, too many. You may be old but that does not give you a free pass.
None of what you mentioned is new. We need to start telling the truth about our history... why did we need unions? Why did we need child labor laws? Why did we need the Americans with Disabilities legislation? To close orphanages? Civil rights laws? Because America was downright heinously EVIL to the poor, the…
THE CORN DOG IS ANOTHER DISTRACTION!!!
“Women are sacred, except for the women Trump groped, assaulted, harassed or walked in on in their dressing room.”

“Women are sacred, except for the selfish Frederica Wilson.”
I don’t want to be sacred. I want men to keep their hands, and their laws, off my pussy. You think you’re helping, Kelly, but you’re not.
Please let this serial rapist and assaulter go to jail like he deserves. THAT is what needs to fucking happen.
I was kind of on Team Tonya. I grew up poor and felt excluded from a lot of things because I couldn’t afford the clothes to fit it. Nancy Kerrigan seemed like such a princessy bitch that I never liked her.
This is such an important article, and I’m thankful that Dvora wrote it. I feel ashamed for the USA Gymnastics team, and for their treatment of and response to McKayla Maroney. She should NEVER have been put in a position where she felt unable to express concerns, and this details an absolute failing of the people who…
My heart breaks for her, not only for the abuse she suffered but that she (and so many others) felt like she couldn’t say anything to anyone. There will always be predators, unfortunately, but that so many women (and men, too) feel afraid to speak out about their abuse is a collective failing on all of us. Hopefully,…
Don’t go blaming the mother, now. Did they not have a father?
