Look, you’re never going to convince people like this that a fetus isn’t a fully developed person who can feed themselves and get a job in 2 months if only their mamma didn’t execute them.

I think that’s probably pretty common. Not only did the parents of both of these men utterly fail them, but enablers often feel like safer/easier targets for victims’ anger than the abusers. That anger is a lot less tied up in the guilt and shame they feel about their abuse. Plus, the dynamic between abused and

He discusses the fact that an “air-tight” investigation is somewhat impossible with child sexual abuse, since there’s typically no material evidence and there are few, if any, witnesses. It’s usually “he-said-she-said.” And he acknowledges that these men were CHILDREN when these crimes occurred, and there may be

His answer to that question really doesn’t skirt the answer: That footage, from people who were somewhat disconnected and did not have close relationships with Michael Jackson or his victims, was not as compelling as the footage of the victims and their families. That was literally his answer. The investigators were

You guys are fighting a battle against a certain type of racist/sexist men but half the white women in this country are on THEIR side.

Some people in the comments are saying that Emma Thompson shouldn’t have to explain her refusal to work with Lasseter. That is true, but I don’t think this is Emma Thompson explaining in the sense of providing a justification for her choice.

100%. I got my “post-baby body” (read: a body with *gasp!* stretch marks & saggy boobs) at age 11 when puberty ran my ass over like a mac truck going 150. I went from normal kid to looking like a 32-year-old who had 4 kids in less than three months, because not only did my body mature, my face did, too. I’ve had

She sounds just like the Boomers at my government agency who have been there since the 1970s.

All of this just sounds very young to me. One of my sons is in his twenties, and has never been in anything but a hetero relationship (including the current one, which is serious and long-term), but publicly identifies as bi. He’s not part of the queer community or anything — he’s making some statement about his inner

Bernie has fought for progressive causes all his life.  Terrific.  Let him continue to do so from the Senate.  Or as an elder statesman in the private sector.  He shouldn’t be the Democratic Party candidate for president.

This article makes me feel like if I’m not supporting him then it must be because I just don’t “like” the guy. I’m not supporting him for the DEM2020 Primary for a whole bunch of reasons and “likability” is not one of them.

There is only one criteria by which to judge Sanders and every other current and likely Democratic candidate: can he beat Trump? Every other consideration is secondary.

In 2016, Bernie was really the only game in town, regarding his brand of politics. For 2020, it’s clear that there will be other options that are potentially less annoying, less problematic, and lack his baggage. So why stick with him?

I approve. The kid (and probably his entire class) will have every last one of his private messages and emails related to the incident subject to discovery now.

If you haven’t found Better Oblivion Community Center, her recent release with Conor Oberst, you should check that out as well! 

I’m not a fan of the show but as an outsider looking in; it does illustrate how victims of abuse can end up becoming abusers themselves. it might be hard to take for some viewers but it’s a reality that exists and is worthy of exploration and understanding without being deemed exploitation or justification for

Yeah.......it’s almost like questions of consent,transgression, and sexual acts were running point throughout the season.

I think you’re using/trying to incorporate where we are in the age of #metoo with simple allegorical story telling. David’s been on a descent into madness the whole season, becoming more and more cut off/cutting himself off because, in the end, he’s gotta have the big boss battle, the one he might not come back from,

I think I disagree with a fundamental premise of the review...that what David does to Syd walks us past an acceptable point. I think that point has been where we were headed all along. The fundamental violation of the type of superpower at the core of the show is that they are transressions of a personal nature,

Huh.

I mean, I agree that it’s super depressing that the show went in this direction, but Legion isn’t Buffy, and it’s not The Flash. I think it’s a deeper and more psychologically interesting show.

It makes perfect sense that David used his powers to make Syd forget that she had stopped loving him, and that he slept
