Someone on Facebook is arguing with me about whether gender oppression is real.
Joy to the world.

Not really politics at all, but all the "Me too" posts in my feed yesterday made me want to cry. I saw at least fifty.

I'm being told that Trump isn't an actual sexual predator bc in the Access Hollywood video he said, "They let you do it."

The post said something along the lines of if every person who has ever dealt with sexual harassment or assault posted "Me too," it might just show the scope of the problem. I didn't because of the Wave of Light last night, but my feed is full of "Me toos."

Not really politics at all, but all the "Me too" posts in my feed yesterday made me want to cry. I saw at least fifty. And I would say that doesn't even represent the majority. I didn't post it since it's not something I talk about. And I keep it real light on social media. I'm sure others are like me too. A friend quoted another friend about it saying, "As a woman to talks to other women, I feel like this almost goes without saying." Which is the sad truth in my opinion too.

earlybird Agreed. I didn't post and neither did my sister or either of my sisters-in-law. ETA: I think I'm going to this morning, though. ETA: Harassment in my case, not assault.

Diary of a Mom The Bloggess had a good post about this. She thanked those that were brave enough to come forward AND those that had to stay in their safe space and couldnt come forward. ETA Diary of a Mom also has her story posted. Its heartbreaking and triggery though.

It could be difficult for him to "prove" because they can take in character into account. Which you know they are such an upstanding organization. They were saying this morning however the NFL can not take his political leanings as reasons.

@blanche Good job at getting the phone interview! I think I read a profile on the Koxh family a while back that mentioned there is some family discord among them. Two of them are the ones that we all know and I believe there is another who disagrees with their actions. Maybe that's the one you found.

I ended up posted "me too" this morning after thinking about it last night. I don't talk about it much and posting about it on fb makes me feel incredibly vulnerable, but a few of my closest friends posted about their experiences and I felt like letting them know "me too" was a way to stand with them. It's amazing how posting two simple words brought up so many emotions. I suspect that will be lost on the haters out there.
I also don't want anyone who doesn't want to post about being harassed or assaulted to feel compelled to put it out there. I did it for me and my friends, no one else.
Anyway, me too.

Not really politics at all, but all the "Me too" posts in my feed yesterday made me want to cry. I saw at least fifty. I've seen so many. It's infuriating and heartbreaking. Unfortunately I saw them all after I posted our pregnancy announcement. I also realized after the fact that it was pregnancy/infant loss awareness day. Not great with the timing. In my defense it was my husband's birthday and I wasn't spending a lot of time scrolling FB but I feel pretty shitty about it. #readtheroom

Bowe Bergdahl has pled guilty to two charges.
Which good. This story is pretty local so it was in the news almost every day he was in captivity.
The good is because he put so many people in danger, from his unit to the men who had to rescue him. It was a selfish act on his part.

It's "character counts" week guys. Won't lie. I thought this was a twitter reference. /ded It would be way more in line with this administration than the other interpretation.

WaPo has a front and center headline this morning titled: Inside the Adult Daycare Center. This, ladies and gents, refers to the WH and our president. Great times we live in.
