Quite frankly, the more bathrooms, the better, I say. Once you’ve been stuck inside a house that had two-and-a-half bathrooms with four people all suffering from food poisoning, no number of bathrooms sounds excessive.

Yeah, it’s about resentment, that’s what I was trying to say, maybe not successfully. Resentment towards women, towards life, whatever, so that resentment becomes sexualized and expressed in a misogynistic way. This is why movements like white supremacy oftentimes can start with anti women sentiments, like gamergate.…

Helen Mirren comes across as somebody who, when confronted with unsolicited penis, would point and laugh. She’s proper as hell, but knows how to cut at an ego.

Did any of the articles talk about why there are so. many. men doing this? I’ve never lived anywhere where it was just one guy. They’re everywhere I go: walking the street, in parks, on the bus, on subways. My favorite was sitting on a bench outside a hostel and some guy in a suit stopped waking, turned to us, and…

I’ve read some interesting articles about why men expose themselves to women. They state that it is this sexual resentment that is channeled into misogynistic rage, in so much that the sexual release of it is the fear and horror you cause in the woman. Basically to show her that she is powerless to do anything, and…

Chunk Handler was one of the best celebrity dogs... He was a good boy ;(

In this case it was Dr. Brooke Lemmen, Dr. Lisa DeStefano and Dr. Jennifer Gilmore. However they did say that it should be performed while wearing gloves and if with a minor the parent needs to be in the same room. Of course Nassar wasn’t wearing gloves and was assaulting these girls.  

also from the Outside the Lines…

The title 9 case determined that what Nassar had been doing was a legitimate medical practice. The criminal investigation by the MSU police also led to no charges as the prosecutor decided there weren’t any crimes that were committed. And Nassar was allowed to continue his “treatments.”

Disgusting behavior knows no gender.

People protect themselves. Rocking the boat, making a fuss, swimming upstream...

What boggles my mind is that women were presented with evidence from other women of this man’s vileness and THE FIRST response was “well, we wouldn’t want to harm him in all this, would we?”

FUCK THAT. Yes, he deserves to get the worst of everything that’s coming to him.

you think there aren’t armed rednecks in Michigan? You would be wrong.

the four people named in this story — Kathie Klages, Kelli Bert, Destiny Teachnor-Hauk, and Lou Anna Simon — are all women themselves.

I also hope they get the same calls from their fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sons.

Because people don’t like rocking the boat, people like the status quo (and not having investigations or public inquiry), they trust “established” people, they shrink from critical analysis and discussion of this kind of abuse because it involves genitalia and because they’re uncomfortable talking about it, because…

The woman says Klages told Nassar, but not her parents—or anyone else.

The breadth of this case blows the Sandusky case out of the water, both in terms of victims and the number of times those victims’ accusations were ignored. This deserves all the attention that the Sandusky got, but it isn’t getting it due to society’s ingrained sexism and homophobia. Apparently men assaulting boys…

Maybe if they face NCAA sanctions, MSU football can face the adversity of a BOWL BAN! Then they can LOSE RECRUITS! And maybe NOT BE SHOWN ON TELEVISION!

I had a long diatribe, but I deleted it for it being too wordy. I’ll leave this:

It does bring to mind Penn State, with the caveat that Penn State had a significant financial interest in keeping the Paterno football train rolling and avoiding possible punishment or public scorn that would affect their bottom line. MichiganState’s non-rev sports probably lost more money than they brought in, or at…
