This was amazing, thank you for this read 😭

I got sick of SVU around the time I realized it was hard to watch women get raped/murdered/abused over and over and over again. As a survivor, it’s vindicating to see so many victims believed, but it’s also frustrating because I know it’s not reality.

As a survivor, I can safely say that Mariska Hargitay and Raul Esparza have more than once saved me from losing myself in the darkness of the aftermath of my assault. I will never not be grateful to the writers for this: “whether you’re a john in the South Bronx or a $3-million-a-year talk show host, no means no.”

My arthritis still bothers me sometimes. Damn Brad Pitt.

I’ve gotta make a quibble about the point they were in their careers because it changes the dynamics somewhat.

The sad part is that a man had to confront him. A woman calling him out he’d punish her. Sexual predators that assault and harass women will back off if a man is with them or says something. This happens in smaller settings like going out with friends. If you are with a guy men rarely go for trying to touch a tit,…

Exactly, I’m sure I remember Paltrow saying he (HW) was an old family friend and she didn’t know about his predatory behavior until he tried it on her. Pitt would have been pretty new to Hollywood- he probably hadn’t heard anything.

Weinstein’s not in jail and Pitt’s still in pretty good physical condition. It’s not too late to make good on the threats...

It’s been a minute since Brad Pitt did anything that made me proud of him, but I’ll take this. He seems to be a genuinely nice person, once all the self-aggrandizing bullshit of celebrity is washed away. I went to school with one of his cousins and from all accounts their family is as functional as any in rural…

That’s exactly how Weinstein and others of his orc ilk get away with these monstrosities—on the rare occasions they’re actually confronted the person (Pitt in this case) is not only enraged but incredulous that Weinstein would do something so blatantly crass and gross in the first place. Remember, Paltrow at this…

It would also dilute his message. He knew about Paltrow and the message was “if you go after her again, I’ll kill you”. Expanding that to other women (unknown to Pitt and Paltrow, as in they didn’t even know there WERE others) just gives Weinstein an opening to muddy things.

Brad Pitt also didn’t cure cancer while confronting Harvey.  What an asshole. 

It’s a normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf, actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf.

To defend Pitt a bit, in that moment it probably didn’t occur to him that there were other women who had gone through abuse similar to Paltrow from that POS.  

If you mean she only exists in this world so we can define her by the men she dates, then yes. 

So Brad did a thing, and still needs to have that touch of snark, that too bad he didn’t do more?

Good for him. The problem with society leaving women to this protector approach is it still centers the men. Women are their wives, girlfriends, sisters, nieces. The violation is not happening to real people, it’s happening to their wards. And if you are not worthy enough to be claimed as some man’s relative, you are…

Tom Delonge was always the hottest because he seemed like he could actually carry a conversation. Travis... Uh, no.

I was just looking at a photo of him a few minutes ago and wondered, “Does he kinda look like Chandler? Is that partially why I’m weirdly attracted to him?” Woof.

Travis was always the hottest.
