There are plenty of men and women who are simply rape apologists or don’t want to even have a conversation about it because talking about rape is just taboo for people invested in misogyny and that includes many women. They blame the victim unless there’s video or DNA evidence. They have a knee-jerk reaction to

That’s the playbook. A girl gets raped or assaulted and everyone is like, “He’s such a promising great guy, do you really want to do this to him? Oh and btw you’re not a provacative or slutty type, right?” Our culture is so fucked up this is many people’s first thought. It’s bad enough to have the legal defense

Amber Tamblyn is really a national treasure and so is her husband. If I were to move to LA and had to pick out a famous couple friend for me and my fiance they’d be top of the list. They seem like smart, funny, and just downright good people.

My hope right now is that the Republicans in Congress are seeing how volatile he is and how worthless he will be in enacting their evil agenda because he just wants to make deals without any coherency or even basic understanding of the policies that result. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but the ones in the Judicial

Can I just say, I am always in the grey but I really have something to say! This girl’s father is an attorney who wasn’t fucking there but is trying to taint the jury pool through making a false narrative and spouting the best plausible defense in the media that has no place in court. He wasn’t there. Jurors should

He’s like Jared Kushner, not even worthy of a hate-fuck. Especially after you hear either of them speak.

So much schadenfreude. I don’t hope he gets raped or killed in jail or anything but this MF is due for a serious reality check more than anyone I can think of. I’ve been seeing karma hit a few other people in my life and can’t wait until it hits all the Trump people.

I’ve hated Jimmy Kimmel since I was a young man and had to watch straight male shitheads laugh their asses off “The Man Show” in an all male dorm common room. That show was the most misogynistic garbage I have ever seen and even though I was young I’ve reflexively known he is a dirty piece of shit my whole life. He

You learn in the first year of law school that the intent follows the bullet. That’s how the jury will be instructed assuming this goes to trial.

The intent follows the bullet. She shot at him, end of story.

“He has recognized and acknowledged his struggles with substance abuse; after stepping down, he immediately entered recovery and has been sober ever since. This is an important step in the right direction.”- what the fuck does an addiction problem have to do with sexual assault? It makes me so angry when people

The makeup of the Supreme Court is essentially the same again as though Scalia never died and now he’s embodied in Gorsuch. The court that made same sex marriage a constitutional right. Still, I’m preparing for the worst in this because that’s just how things are going in our country. This is an important case, even

In my high school “health” class we had a day where we (oddly) watched a clip from Chasing Amy, put condoms on bananas, and passed around a diaphragm. It was a huge one and all the girls were like, “no way is my cervix that fucking big!” This was c. 1998 but even then no one used the things. It had a hole punched

LMAO! I was totally like, “what? I didn’t even know they still made diaphragms.”  

She has a miniature arabian pony which I think is fantastic. My friend who hauls horses for work delivered it to her house. Maybe if she offers her neighbor some farm fresh eggs they’ll get over the rooster thing.

Sorry, but different opinion here. I was just about to comment how unattractive and seriously uncomfortable that thing jabbed through her ear looks. It reminds me of the punk kid in high school who guaged her ears by filling the whole with more and more little nails. Not into it.

I think a lot of women (and men) were intrigued by the idea of hate-fucking him until they heard his weaselly voice once we finally heard him speak.  

Right? I remember watching Hellboy second run around 2004 and thinking it was unwatchable garbage, possibly one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Kids don’t even read comic books anymore and I just can’t figure out who cares about a reboot.

I don’t want to paint a broad brush about the pitting immigrants against immigrants thing but there’s a sizable pocket of Russian and Ukranian immigrants here in the Portland area and the ones I have known personally have always skewed toward the Republican party but are full on board with Trump and it blows my mind.

I think my state (Oregon) will join the fight against this in court but this more than anything Trump has done or threatened to do breaks my heart. I don’t have that much faith in my neighbors though because we shot down a law our legislature passed to allow undocumented people to get driver’s licenses through a
