It’s a sexism thing, which is why you see idiotic rituals trying to confirm women’s virginity or faithfulness all over the world. Religion is a tool people use to justify their underlying beliefs and preferences.

Is this a religious thing? this dumb practice had to start somewhere, and as dumb practices go, if you’re looking for the genesis, start at religion.

Women really dodged a bullet here.

“whether a woman is a virgin or not is an indicator of her mental health and morality.” What? How? What if she was raped once? What if she’s in a loving relationship? You can break your hymen all sorts of ways that don’t involve having sex. If you are in the military then it might involve you killing people. That’s OK…

No, the backlash to all these allegations will be simpler than that: It will cause men to not hire women.

The saddest part of the story is that he was allowed to create a hostile work environment for women under a veil of secrecy. IF he does have dementia, then the way these allegations were handled did a disservice to his own health and legacy, but that’s not an excuse for what he did and how it was handled by everyone…

Hide your kids, hide your wife
And hide your husband cuz they’re rapin everybody out here
You don’t have to come and confess
We’re lookin for you

My ex-brother-in-law used to grope me all the time. In front of everyone, including my (now ex) husband. It was all a big joke to them. And of course I had to go along to get along. I am so glad I never have to see him, or any of that family, ever again.

Same story with my mom, except her grandmother bought her off her horribly, horribly abusive mom and dad for 50,000 back in the 40s. My Great grandmother was very prim and proper as one might expect of a wife of a General but she was a fucking awesome lady.

It’s not a coincidence my father and I are still around while my mother isn’t. She and I had tremendous similarities; put photos of each of us next to each other at a young age, and we look more like twins than her fraternal twin brother did.

From everything I’ve heard, the academic world is long overdue for a housecleaning. (Along with pretty much every other field.)

you just don’t understand how alluring a 75 year old flaccid penis is to women.

Don’t admire anyone you don’t know well enough to ask them to petsit for you.

A lot of powerful dudes in DC are just chillin at home, getting ready for Thanksgiving, hangin with the fam....secretly wondering if their WHOLE FREAKIN WORLD IS GONNA EXPLODE TOMORROW

When has a guy ever let a woman know he genuinely cares about by springing out at her naked? It doesn’t happen. This isn’t about seduction. It’s about mistaking someone’s powerlessness in a situation for his own sexual prowess. It’s abusive and pathetic.

How many men that I have admired are going to turn out to be predators?

It seems like she is just attacking Lena for who she is and not what she has done. Her only accusation against her is that someone ran in her circle that used the Nword. Can every liberal activist in the world say they shut out everyone in their life who said anything offensive at every point in their life. Lena has a…
