explicitly not defending, after saying when they were 19 and he asked to wank in front of her sometimes she said "sure" and sometimes she said "no" and they would go and get pizza

she went on Howard and said she let Louis jerk off in front of her sometimes and sometimes told him to fuck off and it was never a big deal because they were on equal footing or something and he couldn't offer her anything. then one of the accusers tweeted at SS that she was also an equal/Louis had nothing to offer her and that doesn't excuse it (not that SS ever said that). then SS apologized. so, nothing

she's known him since they were 19?! huh

they were both standups in their teens, he's a couple of years older
to the other victim's tweet: she had said she knows that as soon as there was a power differential btwn him and the women that it was wrong, but her experience was different and she doesn't want to not consider him the friend of thirty years standing

Why would that imbalance even be a thing?
I get that they were 'friends-plus' so fine.
But if LCK was in the presence of Margaret Thatcher, or some young intern, which one would be more indefensible? "Hey, would you mind if I....?"

who wouldn't wank in front of Thatcher, TBH

also being friendly with people you work with doesn't mean it's automatically cool to jack your tiny dick in front of them

I just can't fathom the mentality that would lead to asking a friend if it was okay to jerk off in front of them (regardless of gender, orientation or power dynamic), I mean just... waht

lena dunham has taken to the pages of the hollywood reporter to talk about her response to the girls writer being accused of rape and folks, it is not good
When someone I knew, someone I had loved as a brother, was accused, I did something inexcusable: I publicly spoke up in his defense. There are few acts I could ever regret more in this life. I didn't have the "insider information" I claimed but rather blind faith in a story that kept slipping and changing and revealed itself to mean nothing at all. I wanted to feel my workplace and my world were safe, untouched by the outside world (a privilege in and of itself, the privilege of ignoring what hasn't hurt you) and I claimed that safety at cost to someone else, someone very special.To Aurora: You have been on my mind and in my heart every day this year. I love you. I will always love you. I will always work to right that wrong. In that way, you have made me a better woman and a better feminist.

yeah. a blinkered narcissist can repeat feminist nostrums ad infinitum, but it would have about as much meaning as if they were singing the alphabet. the moment any of it came into conflict with their convenience, it would be instantly pitched overboard.
