We could pass laws ..... oh, wait, we already did. We could enforce them....Oh wait, the legal system only enforces against those who can't afford to fight and fight dirty (with the occasional exception for creeps so famous that an ambitious prosecutor can't resist or whose enemies are even more powerful). We could prohibit people from becoming so rich that they are immune from societal and legal constraints.....couldn't we? We could teach our children well.....it's just a dream - but worth fighting for.
Well, there is an outside chance SOME of them can be reformed or helped to shift attitudes . . . yeah, I know, dream on. I have actually met one or two who admitted they were idiots in their youth but they wised up, and I try to avoid wasting talent if at all possible. I don't understand why some guys adopt those attitudes. Maybe if I did I would see things differently. Mostly I avoid them. At my age I won't win many physical fights.
I am never surprised when another woman tells me that she was sexually assaulted or abused. I am surprised when they tell me that they never were. I am lucky that I was never raped (only because I had 4 older brothers who taught me to defend myself and who anybody who knew them, didn't want to feel their wrath), but I certainly had guys that tried.There are a lot of guys out there that are just like TACO and his buddy Jeffrey.
I remember reading Katie’s lawsuit back in 2016. I was sickened by the descriptions of what Trump did. I do believe that she was getting death threats just like our Congresspeople and Senators and Judges receive. Nothing would make me happier than for Karma to show up and collect, but not before he pays E. Jean Carroll. Heavy story to write, tough one to read, I keep hoping that every time it is told it gets stronger, and more people hear it. I have never lived through a presidency that I disrespected so much and I wonder why others respect him. I just don’t get it! Signed, Dillusioned!
And now Virginia Giuffre is dead, allegedly suicide. Age 41.
This rapist who checked the teeth of beauty contestants like they were horses and wandered around their dressing rooms is a sick criminal predator. He was sent to military school for a reason. I refuse to look away.
Trump has been equating Ukraine as being the aggressor and Russia of the victim.
This is done by abusive men and their allies in the systemic misogynistic environment around them to abused women calling them, the aggressor and the abusers the victims .
Yesterday he said something in the Oval Office after he correlated the war where Ukraine is defending itself, it’s sovereignty democracy in their freedom, trying to protect citizens to 2 children playing in the schoolyard that do not want to disengage .
They do this to abused women also in domestic violence .
Then he said :
“ it takes two to tango”
This is a common statement that abused women are faced with as it is used to protect an abuser and minimize domestic violence against women and make it a “we” and mutual .
People turn their backs on women that are trying to get out of an abusive situation. Giving equal blame.
All is done to discredit and cause doubt in and for a woman that is talking about being abused and many times that her children are being abused .
President Biden was co-author of the Violence against Women’s Act along with Senator Paul Wellstone from Minnesota making it a federal law of the land. The Republicans have refused to fund this for several years..
Sadly Senator Wellstone and his wife Shelia very staunch advocates for women and educating about domestic violence died in a plane crash together.
They are doing to the federal Violence Against Women Act protecting women and children what they have been doing to the civil rights act and women’s rights - chipping away at it with legislation at the state level.
Backs will always be turned on women ( and children ) with narcissistic abuser, mentalities in charge.
JD Vance, the vice president of the United States is on the record stating in interviews and in his writings that women should not be allowed to leave abusive relationships.
This post is right straight to the point. What rallied Americans around Kamala Harris was first, the scent of freedom by women, and second, alert men recognizing this. What defeated Harris and re-elected 45 was the smudge of skeptic solidarity in the "reasoning" of half-cocked reactionary males and their meddlesome trophy wives.
Actually they cheated in multiple ways in this and other elections. I’ve been following the work of electiontruthalliance.org. It’s right in the aggregate numbers. Statistics ❤️. I used to think voting rights was boring. Now I realize it’s the only way we’re going to solve this “evil people in power “ problem.
I was a therapist who heard the stories of these women. I never looked away. I still don’t. It makes me sick that this creep is POTUS.
I'm not a therapist, and it has always made me sick that he is in the WH -- AGAIN!! And still lying his a$$ off!
He should be in prison, & Ms Carroll should be paid!
Yes
Succinct, raw, irrefutable. We got exactly what we deserved
Virginia Guiffre......rest in peace.....
This is why I will never, ever forgive those who voted for this vile, putrid, subhuman. They should pay for.the rest of their pitiful lives.
My question is: how do we stop it short of killing every guy who adopts this attitude?

Why does it have to be short of?????

This is why I subscribe, not for the humor, not the satire, but the sicking gut punch journalism calling out our failed society.
As a father of two daughters, I’d like to see Trump where he belongs…behind bars.

This makes me so sad and so sick. Those of us who care, care passionately... unfortunately that just isn't enough. 😔

Excellent article

We understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, as a collective, we failed. Semantics are tricky.
I came here to say something similar but I can't get it to post. I refuse to be included in this "we"
