Yup!

You’re too kind. Honestly, in some ways being an advocate was the best job I ever had. Not only was it wonderful to work helping women and their kids, but DV/SA advocate are some of the most amazing people on Earth and I’m not just talking about generosity or empathy. I’m talking about funny, smart, mouthy women who…

Holy Jesus...how are you even able to function in the world after hearing about these things? My hat’s off to you for the good you’ve done. Thank you.

This story makes me so frustrated at the way the legal system does not work for rape victims. Shaming this guy on Twitter is therapeutic and may cost him a few gigs, but it does absolutely nothing to stop him from moving on to the next woman, and the next, and the next. I don’t blame Beth or Courtney for not going to…

You’re echoing my thoughts exactly. This guy’s response lines up with every abuser I’ve ever encountered: “It’s not as bad as everyone thinks; you weren’t there, you don’t know.”

Did you click on the link? Bingo Bronson’s post is mocking that sort of thinking.

As someone who was a domestic violence and sexual assault advocate for many years, it never fails to amaze me at how abusers/rapists fail to understand the extremity and harm of their actions. “All I did was push her a little.” (She had a broken collabone and shoulder.) “It was totally consensual.” (She suffered a…

I’m not sure she realizes the irreparable harm of her actions.

I laughed

“Disrespectful” is so fluid and subjective, it is the watchword of all entitled Victims... (If you’re not sufficiently respected in your eyes, whose fault is that?)

You seem to be confusing vigilantism with opinions. For instance, I think Jay Leno is more interesting as a car guy than a comedian. I don’t find him funny. If a lot of people agree with me, that is the court of public opinion. If we set fire to a building during a comedy set, that is vigilantism.

And everyone pointed the finger at him and him only. If he really weren’t the one she was talking about, I would assume she could come out and say so as not to damage his life/career. BUT she didn’t do that and he took it upon himself to make a statement so that’s on him. He is obviously an abuser and a piece of crap…

Not naming him is all kinds of smart on her part.

That’s not what she said, and I think you know it.

-1 False equivalence.

It’s entirely possible he cannot see his actions constitute rape. Or abuse.

Sooo she bruised herself up? Used photoshop?

“It is unfortunate that today it’s becoming more and more the norm for an accusation to be taken as fact and the sentence carried out immediately by the anonymous public.”

I don’t get why we automatically take the woman’s word on these rape cases. Some of these women can honestly, simply just be opportunistic, you know?
