Fun fact; Rep. Mo Brooks just said the following about Moore’s other accuser (the one with the yearbook):

Can it be said one more time? The vile smearing of Corfman is why women don’t report being assaulted.

Me, too. It happened in 2002. I was billed 2,346.76. My rape broke me and dealing with life was not one of the skills I possessed, a little too busy trying not to kill myself for about 5 years. Both were greatly helped as a result of not having access to healthcare due to lack of insurance. My job paid me $7.75…

This happened to me. The first person I spoke to about it at the hospital was pretty awful about it; she said “even dead patients have to pay.” I was eventually able to get the charges removed, but even so, kept getting notices from my insurance company asking if the claim was “related to an accident.”

I agree with you. The whole scandal has already tanked Jaeger’s department, its reputation, and its grad student enrollment long before his predatory behavior became public knowledge. But this is a long time in coming for the U of R—who have also been called out by their students and alumni for how poorly they handle…

There would be an assumption that nothing prevents her from getting a different, future job... So the award does not need to cover a lifetime of wages, I would think?

My friend in grad school was told repeatedly to wear makeup by female colleagues at the high school they were student teaching at and forbidden from disclosing their non binary status by the lead professor. This was at Evergreen.

I will say that there’s a huge difference between the UTA Talent Space and places like 356 Mission or Self-Help Graphics. These protesters have zeroed in on both of these latter spaces (but have picked 356 Mission as their main target, but still count SHG as on the list of “problems”, despite being latinx/chicano run…

This area of Boyle Heights is, and has been, zoned light industrial for many years. Look at a satellite map. The 356 Mission space, like everything in its immediate vicinity, is a warehouse, and its previous function was to store pianos. (All that’s not to say that the arrival of white-run art spaces doesn’t…

I bathe in Répreçion right before strapping on my 6" steel-spiked stilettos and heading out to dominate teh menz. I cannot truly feel like a woman until I do so.

and not wearing makeup that would be “deemed harassing to male colleagues,”

I bet many of these troglodytes would classify “not wearing makeup” as “harassing male colleagues”, if the perpetrator was a cis woman.

All I can think of is Braveheart-style warpaint, not, you know, Broadway-musical War Paint warpaint.

The two most extremely WTF moments in this article:

She was awarded $1.165 million in damages

“Not wear make-up that would be deemed ‘harrasing to male colleagues’”

I wonder if any people ever quit HR because they don’t like having a job which resembles the secret police.

Sadly, eventually everyone learns that HR is really there to pull the trigger when they’re scared you will endanger the company’s reputation. Yes, even if you have a legitimate complaint.

If only there was a way for employees to band together into some sort of collective. You know, where they could negotiate with management and the company on how to handle these sorts of events.

While I appreciate your comment, please don’t put the weight of preventing further crimes on the victim. I speak from experience when I say that kind of guilt can destroy you. Any future crimes are on the perpetrator and it’s the responsibility of the justice system to provide the type of environment that encourages…
