Ghomeshi's lawyer has a memoir coming out so prepare yourself for a deluge of "But it was super feminist of her!" commentary.
The only person whose commentary on her I want to read is Anne Kingston and she is no longer with us, so I guess that's it for the rest of you.

I'll never forgive @TheSocialCTV for having her on the show after the Ghomeshi trial to talk about misogyny and why it's unfair that people judge women by how they dress.
.... considering this is the same woman who used a photo of a victim in a bikini to bury her credibility.

If you have not yet watched #Unbelievable on @netflix, you should. NOW. It is riveting and harrowing- its ESSENTIAL tv.
We say #Ibelievesurvivors for a reason. #Unbelievable convincingly explains why, in agonizing detail. 1/4

@netflix As the Atlantic put it: "It’s impossible to watch Unbelievable and not think about recent cases in which women speaking out about their own sexual assaults have been failed by systems that were supposed to offer them the bare minimum of due diligence." 2/4

@netflix I work with many survivors. Some choose to share their stories publicly and others wish to remain quiet. Regardless they should be believed. #Unbelievable has done something incredible: shown us what can happen when women are believed and what happens when they aren’t. 3/4
You know how we got here to begin with makes me sick.

He lied about knowing #DeborahRamirez & we undoubtedly know he lied about raping #ChristineBlaseyFord!
I came out with my story of #WhyIDidntReport after keeping it in since I was 16 all because of the bravery of #ChristineBlaseyFord.

Lawd do we have a lot of unpacking to do, to cover all the lies @BradSherman told tonight.
#BradShermanLies #1 he told everyone that the accusations @MarkReed1776 brought up were absolute lies and all made up. Mark calmly told everyone all they had to do was Google. OOOF.
EIGHT of @BradSherman’s aides came forward about how toxic the environment was working for him after his longtime aide was accused of forcing a woman into a bathroom and masturbating. WTF? #METOO #Ibelievesurvivors

“I am also intimidated by the Defendant (@SherrodBrown)and am in fear for the safety and well-being of myself and our children due to the Defendant’s physical violence and abusive nature” #MeToo #OHSen #Ibelievesurvivors
Sherrod Brown pinned his ex-wife against a wall, cornered her friend and was screaming in front of their children. He now claims @JimRenacci should be “ashamed” for bringing this up, really? @SenSherrodBrown is the only one who should be ashamed right now #MeToo
The argument against bringing up these charges is that it was a long time ago but it’s years earlier than Kavanaugh allegations and there are police reports to prove it. Sherrod Brown is a nasty man #OHSen
Look who it is!? Hillary and DNC lawyer, executive producer of Steele Dossier the one and only Perkins Coie Mark Elias, and he’s representing @SherrodBrown threatening @JimRenacci to NOT talk about #MeToo isn’t that amazing #OHSen #ibelievesurvivors
Why does the Democrat Fixer not want women to be heard? #SherrodBrown has been credibly accused for sexual harassment and unwanted advances where are you @womensmarch @TheDemocrats
Amazing @SherrodBrown runs to Mark Elias to tell @JimRenacci to stop telling the truth meanwhile Sherrod is being sued for running a completely false campaign ad. These people are insane, if you're proven not-guilty they lie about it #VoteRed #OHSenDebate #OHSEN
Um have people read the @FBI files on @SenatorMenendez because if we’re to believe all women then Menendez slept with a 16 year old girl in the Dominican Republic! This is insane the Democrats are demented. Come on New Jersey VOTE @BobHugin #Ibelievesurvivors #VoteDemsOut2018
This entire story got buried because it involved more than Menendez, many people were involved including retired officers and the FBI🙄
Who has almost $5 million dollars to pay lawyers? The one and only @SenatorMenendez was funded by big pharma to get his mistrial, with this kind of money are we really to believe a juror or two wasn’t paid off? New Jersey remains run by mobsters. Vote this fool out.
This about sums it up. Grassley, Hatch, Cornyn and COLLINS need to be retired by us. Just vote, my sisters, and bring all of your people with you on 11/6. #SaturdayMorning #IBelieveSurvivors

2/"Well, sure, I am going to vote yes on Kavanaugh, sweetie. Don’t become hysterical. But I just feel so awful it had to happen like this. It’s such a shame, I think.
I just think, dollface, if there is one thing that came out of all this, sugar, that was good, it is, pumpkin,

3/"that you got to have your say. Baby, you got to stand up in front of all these people and bear witness to what you felt like you had experienced, like a big girl! It was so important, and I absolutely believed you, sweetheart! Chickadee, baby doll, your voice was so important
#MeToo 1) In my early 20's, a female cousin & I went 2 a small New Years Eve party @ a friends house. I had a drink & took a pill I was offered. (Stupid, I know.) I only weighed about 98 lbs & I became VERY inebriated. A mutual acquaintance showed up & tried 2 get me 2 have sex.
#MeToo 2) I never liked the guy & I let him know I was not interested. He dragged me 2 a bedroom & started undressing me. I kept protesting & saying, "No!" I managed 2 get up, button my shirt & return 2 the party. He followed, picked me up & carried me back 2 the bedroom.
#WhyIDidntReport I don't rememer every detail, but I know I did NOT want to have sex with him. I know I protested & told him "No!" repeatedly. He put my hand in his shorts, on his penis, which was quite large. I remember thinking, "Oh, God. I'm in trouble." Then I passed out.
