What’s your dipshit male boss horror story?

*trigger warning - sexual violence* It’s only Monday, but this week’s Douchebro of the Week goes unequivocally to conservative columnist George Will, who out-douchebagged himself by writing a column in the Washington Post saying that since victims of sexual assault are so “entitled and privileged,” other women are coveting that victimhood status!  As “evidence” of this phenomenon, Will points out the a report made by a Swarthmore student of something he deems is clearly not rape:  "I just kind of laid there and didn’t do anything — I had already said no. I was just tired and wanted to go to bed. I let him finish. I pulled my panties back on and went to sleep," the woman wrote about the encounter. Will’s point is that since the described incident is obviously not rape, clearly this woman was just coveting that super-chic victimhood status! As a counterpoint, I would argue that you know what it is when a woman says no and then you sleep with her anyway? YEP. IT’S SEXUAL ASSAULT. Surviving sexual assault is a singularly devastating and harrowing experience — it can take years to recover. You know whose opinions I’m not interested in on this topic? Anyone who’s never been sexually assaulted. Period. The end.  If you want to read more about this trash, you can do so in this article — I’m not linking the original column because fuck giving that guy even one more click. If you want to get involved in the fight to get college victims of sexual assault the justice they deserve, click here to sign a petition by a badass survivor calling on the new White House task force to take meaningful action to hold colleges accountable who don’t adequately protect victims or punish perpetrators. You can also let your money do the talking by donating to the good people at the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, who run a 24/7 free hotline to help survivors in need. Click here to donate.
