A judge dismissed alleged groper David Mueller's case against Taylor Swift, but he will allow the jury to consider claims against her mom. America, 2017: where you can sue the mom of the woman you (allegedly) groped because she didn't let you get away with it.

Earlier today, Taylor Swift testified against David "Jackson" Mueller, a radio DJ from KYGO in Denver, whom she's in the process of counter-suing (for $1) after he sued her (for $3 Million) for defamation and wrongful accusation, blaming her for getting him fired. What was the accusation? That he grabbed her ass during a meet-and-greet photo op. By the way, there's an actual photo of it happening.

While watching a favorite film on a return flight from my recent vacation, a thought occurred to me: In film, men are never allowed to not want sex. Even when their characters actively don't want to be having sex in any given moment, films portray it as something they should want. No matter the circumstances.

Kesha's former producer Dr. Luke, whom she accused of rape and abuse, is suing her for defamation and subpoenaing Lady Gaga.

Every time we think Betsy Devos can't be worse for the American education system, she goes ahead and proves us wrong.

Yeoh's story–which is one of dozens that have come out over the last few weeks, which stand in for hundreds more still untold–should make it clear: men with as much power as Dave McClure must start putting their female colleagues' safety and comfort above their own sexual desires when the power imbalance is this great.

That doesn't sound like this juror had "reasonable doubt." That sounds like he believes Bill Cosby is guilty, but didn't want to declare him guilty, because then Cosby would be punished, and this juror thinks he's been through enough. It also sounds like he doesn't understand the difference between a civil case (in 2005) and a criminal case (now).

The jury in Bill Crosby's trial for aggravated indecent assault has deadlocked, resulting in a mistrial. However, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele issued a statement that he will seek a new trial.

A French tennis player spent an interview trying to kiss and grope a female reporter. He's been banned from the French Open, but that doesn't change the culture of entitlement that lets these things happen.

The New York Times just launched a campaign touting their dedication to truth and integrity. But Bret Stephens doesn't seem to have any interest in either of those things.
