I can't even muster sympathy for a Republican woman who spouts the usual bullshit talking points. If they don't care about other people, why should I care about them?

Oh, I absolutely believe her too. I just don't give a flying fuck about her, Gretchen Carlson, or Megyn Kelly. It's kind of how I feel about the Jews who helped Nazis.

Ha ha...before I read your comment, I said these women are like Jews who helped Nazis. I truly do not give a rat's ass about these women. Fox News is like Playboy or Hooters. If I decided to become a Playboy bunny (fat chance!), I'd expect Hugh Hefner to try to get his paws on me. It's the culture, and if you choose to participate in it, that's on you.

That's why I don't give a shit about these women. They were willing to be sexually harassed, as long as the money was good. Once they got canned, it was suddenly a problem. They were willing to go along with ALL the shit that Fox does, as long as THEIR money didn't get fucked with. Screw Gretchen Carlson, and screw Andrea Tantoros. I'd be happy to see them both living on the street begging for quarters.

Well, they did bitch about it - but only to Faux News insiders, and only to the extent that it didn't put the paycheck at risk (or so they thought.) They were told to shut up, and they did.Much stroking of beards and scratching of heads over Megyn Kelly's continued silence.

Not everyone is as smart as you. Or has as wide a range of awesome job offers as you.

As a female, we're surround by sexism and misogyny from birth to the point that if we don't suppress/ignore it as much as possible, it will bury us and suck us into madness. And that is not an exaggeration.

I was fired from a job for not sleeping with my boss. Of course he invented an incident that never happened to fire me, and when told HR basically told me my version of events didn't matter because it was with one of the largest employers on the planet, and they have an army of attorneys to the point no one will take the case for someone fired from a $30k job, since there's nothing to go after.

- There is still a large portion of the population that resents the fact we have the right to vote.- There is still a large portion of the population that resents they cannot legally own us and treat us like property, even though they still try, and many succeed.- There is still a large portion of the population that blames the female for anything bad that happens to her.... like your post.- There is still a large portion of the population who don't think women are capable of critical thought to the point they should have a man around to supervise their life, and every decision, especially about their health care.- There is still a large portion of the population that don't trust unmarried, independent women enough to allow them to do anything unsupervised.- There is still a large portion of the population that think feminism is bad.- There is still a large portion of the population that sees nothing wrong with, "Run like a girl" or that women still do not get equal pay.

I refuse to condemn these women who finally feel not only safe (not getting fired) in coming out and openly accusing their harassers, but that they also won't be laughed at and ignored into oblivion for mentioning that someone is abusing/bullying/sexually harassing them.

Because no one deserves to be sexually harassed.

Megyn Kelly is making a HUGE amount of money, so she keeps her lip buttoned, just like I would expect a good little Foxbot to do. It's the same reason Shep Smith keeps his gay lovers hidden, they don't want to stop all that sweet, sweet, homophobic, misogynist money from rolling in. They have no conscience, which is why I have no fucks to give about any of them.

She smell the blood - go for the kill. Payday. I hope she nails these mofos but there was some sorta quid pro quo for snatch for cash and/or a gig and every communications major knows what I'm yammering about.

I know, right? It's like when a woman is in a dark alley and she's wearing a short dress. Why should I feel bad if she gets raped?!?! What a fucking stupid cunt! What does she expect?!?!?!?11!

Is it hard to breathe for you right now? Because I expect that having your head that far up your own ass makes it hard to breathe.

You didn't read my whole post. Go read ALL of what I wrote, stop being a rube who only reads the 1st line of anything.

I DID read your whole post. It's just that none of the rest of it mattered. No one deserves to be violated. No one. It's a human obligation to feel empathy for everyone when bad things happen to them, even those who we think are terrible people. That's what separates the Donald Trumps of the world from everyone else.

The guy was officially charged with homosexuality before being outed. He was at risk already.

Irena Briganti: She seems nice.

Just sayin' that Batboy was from Weekly World News... they of the 2-headed baby stories as well... They made Nat'l Enq. look like the New York Times by comparison.

They were fun to read on those... errrm... 'special' evenings, though...

I agree, Irena Briganti is a great feminist!
