Most people feel/felt this way, all you have to do is look at the hurr durr she was an adult- like, don’t deny her agency- you can TOTALLY consent to fucking your boss idiocy that has gone on in these comments today. Misogyny is a hell of an excuse and internalized misogyny is a hell of a drug. I don’t care if Monica…

Why waste your breath when Rihanna’s face conveys it perfectly?

No one is arguing that she wasn’t an adult. I’m likening her lack of ability to consent to another instance in which a person lacks the ability to consent. We put the onus on the party with the power control.

All of the commentary that is necessary on this topic.

Of course! Let’s say it’s 1998 and Hillary’s male intern came out and said that he had a physical relationship with her. It would be no less coercive. You can’t objectively consent to a relationship with someone who has influence over your livelihood. Would that dude’s life have been completely obliterated like…

No, I wish I did. I read the original article in the magazine at a doctor’s office. It was fantastic. I should have stolen the magazine.

He’s gross. I don’t care how good his foreign policy was. He’s disgusting and everyone who has covered up for him for the last 30 years is too. Including his wife.

NOPE. See all of the above commenters.

All of this.

Fucking thank you.

“So now you’re a victim if you have consensual sex with your boss”

YUP. Power-imbalance coercion is real, age and gender not factors!

“But his power doesn’t make Monica innocent either”

No. She can scream all day long for ever and ever that she consented to this relationship and she will still be wrong. You cannot consent to this type of relationship. Think of it like a 15 year old consenting to a sexual relationship with a 20 year old in a state where the age of consent is 17. The 15 year old…

The New Yorker did an amazing piece on the history of the NRA for all of these fools who talk about its storied longevity as a gun owners’ rights advocacy group. Up until the 1980s, the NRA was a benign non-profit that taught gun safety. Its mission changed (ahem, got high-jacked) by a rogue faction at its convention…

I swear to god. Employee👏 Employer👏 Relationships👏Are👏 Presumptively 👏coercive👏

Yeah, if you think your husband’s future subordinates did anything other than go home that night and lament to their wives the nepotism that forced them to suck up to your trashy ass, I feel sorry for you.

So let me get this straight, you think that showing up to a business dinner with your tits out garnered you and your husband respect among his future subordinates? Who are from an older, respectability-obsessed generation? I don’t even know how to respond to that. How embarrassing for you, your husband, and most…

Oh honey, we ALL feel this way. I work in a male-dominated field. 2 of them,acrually. Out of all of my male co-workers, 2 are not a waste of space. Most of us are just concerned that we will be labeled man haters. I actively no longer care about that, do you know why? The range from dude mediocrity to suckitude bleeds…

This dude tried to be the relationship lawyer and did a shit job of it.
