I hope Katy Tur is surrounded by bodyguards all day, I was not there and this was scary, I can not imagine how she felt.

I hope she’s able to be comfortable with men, but keep standing up for herself. We have to stop teaching girls to accept unwanted touch in order to not offend others.
Exactly. Also, part of the fun to have to prove your story like you’re in court. Because these men’s reputations are to be protected at all cost-unless it’s really egregious and you can prove it (with DNA/video/etc.). You also must maintain a spotless record and live a blameless life (boring) prior to saying your…
I don’t flip out when touched without consent. But I do always “touch” back. I have had to say this to men when it’s clear they plan to “accidentally” bump into me.
I have masculine impulses all the time. You know what I do? Not assault people. It’s pretty easy.
This summer while I was in Paris, one afternoon I was sitting and working by myself at a café when three men (that I neither knew nor invited) sat at my table with me.
How about the FAA start mandating that airlines provide a credit or full refund for delayed or canceled flights? My one hour and forty minute Southwest flight last weekend was delayed four hours because of a lighting issue on the plane. They gave me a $100 voucher. Then on the way back that same flight was delayed an…
I really wish we all just started collectively flipping the fuck out when a man did something like this instead of feeling pressured to “remain calm.” I hate that so many cultures have brainwashed women to not make “big deals” out of shit like this.
James, you joke but it’s disturbing how little sexual agency female characters had in those old cartoons. I was watching an old Tom & Jerry with the kid and Tom falls into a dress and wig and is immediately descended upon by all the local male cats who attempt to “kiss” him/her despite protests.
What part of “No” does he not understand?
ohhhhhhhh god. I work on a college campus, so this hits close to home. This is how harassment continues in these hallowed halls, through the silence and disbelief of other people.
Would you sacrifice equal pay, the ERA, repeal of the Hyde Ammendment and your right to choose at the alter of Juanita Broadderick? Keep in mind her claims have been investigated by people with a financial interest in proving her right who were not able to do so. It’s possible Broadderick was raped, but Clinton’s…
The most absurd aspect of this is the idea that Trump and his supporters believe we should unequivocally believe Clinton’s accusers but his are all insane and untrustworthy. The idea that women’s experiences are only true when they fit a convenient narrative is as destructive as the tendency to disbelieve them in the…
I’ve just had it with the never-ending false equivalencies. You have Trump telling people in swing states to be “vigilant at the polls” and to “watch out for voting fraud”, and jackasses like dude here wanna throw up a pic of two homeless lookin idiots who, at the direction of nobody in particular (especially Barack…
Feels like we’re still getting the shockwaves from the Reebok deal. I can’t blame GSP for saying, “I want to fight, and you’re going to pay me WHAT? Oh, well...I can make that up with money from my...wait, what? Alright, fuck you guys then.”
You can only be so shameless about cutting the actual fighters out of the…
My favorite passage:
Fittingly, Chris Broussard was not the first to break this story.
I... I have no words. What the actual hell?! He raped a 12 year old and gets 17 days in prison because he has “community support”?!
He’s probably also jealous that Slim is an ACTUAL billionaire instead of a pretend one.
And that’s how Billy Bush was discussing a colleague. Well he’s the sleaziest Bush that’s for sure. Lice filled.
