I've heard from men as well who suffered, trust me, and survived, but disproportionately female. And he basically said, you know, If you don't leave after the first time, like it's this cut and dry, then it's all on you. It's all on you. And by the way, I know a lot of you ladies out there, you just, you know, like you'll take it if you can get some fame and money out of it.

Such overwhelming feedback, this powerful, this moving, this personal, upsetting and inspiring. And 100% of it all, we are all on the same page. We are all on the same page that Bill Maher is awful for saying what he said.
