It's starting to sound like Shermer slept with quite a few women that were drunk. He probably used the same lines and made them feel special.

Alison's reputation will be tarnished, but not for the reasons that she thinks. It will be a self-fulfilling prophecy for her, especially since she has "supporters" feeding her bullshit.

Why is circumcision A-OK with so many, particularly in a Patriarchy? Because foreskin is gross. ...obviously, because it's a piece of a male.

You can't write a better soap opera than this. I hope Phil complains about Pamela sexually harassing him by grabbing his chest since he is currently the only one that has the proof to make a case.
