Does anyone listen to and enjoy Unqualified? I’ve only listened to it in the cross-over My Favorite Murder episodes, and she came off as obnoxious and said nothing of substance for almost an hour.

Amen. At 14, I would have actually loved it if an adult took me aside to talk to me about harassment and assault—because it was already happening to me and I had no words for it and no validation for my anger at it. If anything, I’d err on the side of bringing up the topic too early.

Listen to Judith. Do as Judith says, for it does seem like she’s 100 percent correct.

None of this seems that unreasonable to me.

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

My boss (a very lovely middle aged white cis man) and I were discussing this today, and he expressed his shock that Hollywood tolerates so many men like Weinstein. Despite years of rumours and these facts being considered barely kept secrets, they are not only allowed to continue abusing people but their abuse is…

I hate all the trumps with the burning fire of a thousand suns, and wish them nothing but unscratchable genital itching, but he’s not wrong.

I’m someone who likes rough stuff and went to therapy in part because I felt like a freak because some men I was with told me I was broken/gross/not a real feminist. I struggled for years to deny the things I wanted, even though it comes from a place of fun and adventure, and I’ve had some very healthy, positive…

she was deeply shocked by Weinstein’s behavior and was frozen

That’s all well and good except if you’re not a 5 star driver you get fewer fares. Or at least that’s how it used to work. It’s like eBay. People are SIGNIFICANTLY less likely to buy if you have anything less than a perfect record. So a few people come along with your philosophy, my ratings drop even though I haven’t…

“Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world.”

Um, no. F this.

And doctors have a disturbing tendency to trivialize women’s symptoms. Not EVERYTHING is a UTI. Last year I was having pretty much every symptom on that list and knew something wasn’t right. I didn’t have insurance so that was a fun thought. I went to a local doctor and explained my symptoms, my family history of…

I know it’s not shocking, but it’s heartbreaking to hear someone talk about how their own mother chose whiteness over their children. And wanting to take you to a step-family’s Thanksgiving? Just gross.

As you note, Arnold has never been what one might call a progressive. He has some pretty toxic beliefs, in my opinion. So for someone like him to make a video like this speaks volumes about just how messed up things are in the US right now. I’m gonna go ahead and say something I never thought I would say: “well done,…

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

Just curious, my Irish catholic wife was telling anyone who would listen trump was dangerous from the word go. She always votes democrat and is passionate about disability rights issues. Sometimes she calls politicians to voice her displeasure. What else is she supposed she to be doing? Finding a way to protest? I am…

If that was a scolding then your parents were very kind, lol.

Because it scares the fuck out of you when a predator does this to you. As soon as she felt powerful enough, she had him removed from the venue.

I’d argue that when your toddler is in the middle of wiping their ass on the furniture is the perfect time to start practicing mindfulness. It’s not like your furniture is going to be appreciably less covered in shit because you’ve taken 10 secs to not throttle them.
