And this is why my goal is “Treat yourself like you would a child you love.” I try to give myself lots of routines, and limits, and accountability to follow through on those things, because having to constantly choose is exhausting. Knowing that Friday nights I order pad Thai and rent a movie, or that bedtime is 9 PM…

How about a device that makes my apartment bathtub a reasonable size?
Clicked on the article to find this comment. Thanks for not letting me down.
That’s funny, there was me thinking The Cursed Child was the worst fan-fiction ever written.
Yeah, I don’t think the original comment was really defending him so much as pointing out that Netflix was mostly mad that they were outed.
he simply could have just said, “it’s simply not my department, i have no say in this matter. i’m coaching my kids game”. i don’t call being a asshole to a victim being a fall guy. he deserved to get fired.
Letting slip something as controversial as, “We don’t believe the rape victims,” to a random stranger is called being very bad at your job. She could have been a reporter for the Washington Post or a lawyer for one of the victims or a lawyer for Masterson or a rape victim. He deserves to be fired for being an idiot…
Fine, but automatically disbeliving them is how the abusers are able to help foster a culture of disbelief. Those rumors are around for a reason. Either someone made it up and the people who make up these kinds of rumors deserve to be fired, or those rumors are extremely true and people are spreading them as a way to…
Testimony is evidence. Women step up and say “this happened to me,” and that is evidence. With most rape, harassment and assault cases, that’s all the evidence you’ll get just because of the nature of the crime.
That’s why so many people were so incensed about the Brock Turner case, because finally two men caught a…
I’m perfectly appalled at the idea that someone saying, ‘He assaulted me’ is not considered evidence.
God, that makes me sick.
Because it was a shitty ass apology that he only gave after the NY Times article came out. It was so shitty that not once in his apology did he actually say the word “sorry”.
Meh. No one here has the power to destroy a celebrity’s life. And you denying that someone’s testimony is ‘evidence’ stinks. That’s how abusers get away with it for so long, by people like you demeaning their victims.
So stop it.
So believing women (and men, too!) is now ‘mob rule’?
No, it’s not. No one’s storming any mansions, not one of the accused has been physically attacked. A bunch of people sitting around discussing sexual harassment is so far from ‘mob rule’ that I’d wonder what you would call an actual mob.
I’m not sure “gay people can’t help being predators” is the best defense to go with here.
People sure loved Louis CK—evidenced by the blinding speed at which wagons would be circled to protect him over the years, from these “slanderous” or “rumor-mongering” women, even at faintest mention of the allegations.
“I don’t even know what to say to a woman, anymore!” That’s a legitimate problem. We shouldn’t be laughing at them like the answer is obvious. That’s not fair. We’ve put sexual harassment training everywhere - telling men what NOT to do - but now we need to teach them what they CAN do. How they SHOULD act.
I’ve worked in different industries, but the pattern seems pretty standard:
