...I spent three weeks in the country, (click here) dodging unwanted advances and hearing stories of frequent, unpunished sexual assaults. It was the most threatening environment for women that I had ever navigated. If somehow you still don’t recognize the sweeping scale of sexual assault, if you think women across the world don’t need to fight for each other with everything we have, try visiting Lesotho, where holding a man accountable for sexual violence is almost impossible.

In my work as a guidebook author, Lesotho certainly isn’t the only place I’ve dealt with sexual aggression. In Bali, men asked me to pose for photos and grabbed me close. In the Dominican Republic, I couldn’t stroll in the capital without being hissed at. In San Jose, Costa Rica, a man approached me in a residential neighborhood, smacked my butt and ran.

I shrugged it all off, preferring to think of these men as worthless outliers. In retrospect — and especially after what I discovered in Lesotho — this was wildly optimistic.

The epidemic of sexual violence against women in this nation of 2.2 million people is arguably the worst in the world, but it is rarely reported. The problem, women’s rights advocates say, begins in childhood. Girls are taught to be compliant, to quietly endure suffering and to serve men....             

This is a new angle. Women just naturally want a baby no matter the father. Zero tolerance.

Just to clarify how ludicrous this is, surrogate mother's recieve sperm in a surgeon's office under sterile conditons.

Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., (click here) announced his resignation Thursday evening as the House Ethics Committee announced it was opening an investigation into potential sexual misconduct.

Franks said in a statement that he had discussed his interest in finding a surrogate mother with two women in his office, making them uncomfortable. His wife has struggled with infertility, he said.

The Ethics Committee said that it was convening a subcommittee to determine if Franks "engaged in conduct that constitutes sexual harassment and/or retaliation for opposing sexual harassment."...

A little too young. Singer should have looked for another at least one more year older.

Bryan Singer, (click here) the director best known for the X-Men series of films, is being sued over an allegation that he raped 17-year-old boy during a party 14 years ago.

Singer has denied the accusation.

In a complaint filed in Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County on Thursday, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman says he met Singer in 2003 at a party aboard a yacht owned by technology investor Lester Waters, who the complaint says "frequently hosted parties for young gay males in the Seattle area."...

Sanchez-Guzman alleges that Singer, while giving him a tour of the yacht, lured him into the master stateroom, shut the door and demanded oral sex...


Body-Cam Video Of Daniel Shaver Shooting | Los Angeles Times. The cop that assassinated Daniel Shaver walked.

GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: Daniel Shaver was fatally shot by Arizona police on Jan. 18, 2016, in the hallway of the hotel where he was staying. Philip Mitchell Brailsford, the officer who killed Shaver, was acquitted of murder charges on Dec. 7, 2017.








The fact Gena Richardson scribbled in her own notebook changes nothing.

Roy Moore is a pedophile. There is no denying it. He molested young girls, including, Gena Richarson. Roy Moore wrote in Gena's yearbook and signed it, end of discussion.

She was a teenager acting like a teenager with her yearbook. She is completely innocent in her handling of the yearbook and Moore is victimizing the victim. This is typical behavior of men when they get caught victimizing young girls. They always and in every way blame the victim as if 'she wanted it.' It is outrageous.

Roy Moore was twice her age. Her emotional maturity shows through in the way she scribbled in her yearbook. SHE WAS ALLOWED TO WRITE/SCRIBBLE/DRAW IN HER OWN YEARBOOK! HER SEXUAL ABUSER HAD NO RIGHT IMPOSING HIS PRESENCE IN A YEARBOOK. 

Gena Richardson is a victim. She doesn't have to be the perfect victim, she simply needs to report her victimization. It doesn't matter if she only is reporting her victimization now. She has carried it around in her heart long enough!

She is still a pretty lady and it is obvious she was damaged emotionally and still has the scar of Roy Moore's sexual abuse. Ms. Richardson is a brave woman. She should not have to be brave, she needs to be believed. She should have been empowered a long time ago to report sexual abuse by Roy Moore. She was intimidated and scared. That is typical of the reaction by teen girls.

Gena Richardson (click here) says she was a high school senior working in the men’s department of Sears at the Gadsden Mall when a man approached her and introduced himself as Roy Moore.

“He said, ‘You can just call me Roy,’ ” says Richardson, who says this first encounter happened in the fall of 1977, just before or after her 18th birthday, as Moore, then a 30-year-old local attorney, was gaining a reputation for pursuing young women at the mall in Gadsden, Ala. His overtures caused one store manager to tell new hires to “watch out for this guy,” another young woman to complain to her supervisor and Richardson to eventually hide from him when he came in Sears, the women say.

Richardson says Moore — now a candidate for U.S. Senate — asked her where she went to school, and then for her phone number, which she says she declined to give, telling him that her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, would never approve...

A handwriting expert (click here) who formerly worked for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has determined that the signature (of Roy Moore) in the yearbook of one of Roy Moore's accusers is authentic, according to the accuser's lawyer.

Gloria Allred, attorney for Beverly Young Nelson, said the Georgia-based handwriting expert retained by Nelson, Arthur Anthony, studied multiple examples of original and copies of signature samples of Moore's in reaching his conclusion.

Allred made the announcement at press conference in Atlanta....

...Allred also said that she believes Nelson's life is in danger because she had alleged that Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16 in late 1977 or early 1978. Moore has repeatedly denied that allegation as well as all others made by women who have come forward in recent weeks.

Nelson has more evidence against Moore that she is withholding at this time but would be used in an ethics investigation against Moore if he wins Tuesday's election against Democrat Doug Jones.

Moore has said he would welcome an independent analysis of the yearbook signing but Allred has insisted that such an analysis would have to be part of a Senate judicial or ethics hearing, which has not taken place....

Leeann Tweeden should appear on "Morning Joe" to explain her hypocrisy.

The fact Senator Al Franken resigned does not change any facts about Ms. Tweeden. She needs to explain how she separates her political choices over and above a Pedophile President. Why should Trump get a pass and no one else does?

...“I’m concerned about women, who are legitimately sexually harassed in the workplace across America, and where this is taking us,” Brzezinski said, before reading an excerpt from a Washington Post column asking “Was Al Franken’s punishment fair?”

Brzezinski then seemed to call into question the legitimacy of Leeann Tweeden’s allegations (the radio news anchor first accused Franken of forcible kissing and groping her while she slept, which prompted the other women to come out and accuse the senator of misconduct.)

“We’ve never really talked about the woman who first came out against Al Franken,” she said, before questioning the “Playboy model who goes on Hannity, voted for Trump.”

“I see some politics there, but I haven’t brought that up every step of the way because of course, in this ‘Me Too’ environment, you must always believe the women.”...
