As we started holding politicians and business leaders and celebrities around the world accountable for their actions, it was easy to sort things into their respective buckets: this is wrong, this is right. Holding people accountable for their actions was not only right, it was just.
Except it’s not always so easy, and living in the gray areas is something we’re trying to figure out in the world of social media. But here’s something social media doesn’t afford us–nuance.
The world is gray. And as uncomfortable as that makes people, gray is where the real change happens. Black and white is easy. Gray is the place women can come together out of the glare of the election and speak our truths, our doubts, our hopes, our convictions and test them against the light and the dark.
Gray is where the conversations which continue to swirl around powerful men get started. And it’s really almost always men, isn’t it? As women, we’ve been gaslit, we’ve been blamed. We’re too shrill or too quiet. We’re weak or we’re insufferable. We’re whores or ice queens. We’re baby killers or welfare queens. Women are not afforded the gray. We are not allowed anything but the binary extremes. And then, we are pressured to turn on one another for making impossible choices. It’s bullshit.
It’s not up to women to admonish or absolve perpetrators, or be regarded as complicit when we don’t denounce them. Nothing makes this clearer than the women who are still supporting Joe Biden even with these accusations.

Alyssa Milano supports sex predators.
Got it.
Will she let him stand behind her ?
f Aylssa Milano
Wasn’t she on some 80’s sitcom or something.
In that picture, an unfortunate rip showed up in her towel.
The #MeToo movement was the biggest bunch of BS scam ever! They dont care about women, women dont even believe all women..they only use the women who come out against Republicans for political gain, thats all it is..when a Dem is accused of rape they just it slide, all about power
Things didn’t seem so gray to her when Kavanaugh was accused with NO evidence.
Tara Reade has lots of contemporaneous corroboration, doesn’t seem nearly as gray.
In short....”The accusations against Joe Biden may be true....but orange man bad”
I wrote this op-ed about the Tara Reade allegations against Joe Biden. Please give it a read👉 https://t.co/MZUozj2LaX— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) April 30, 2020
This is a terrible analysis. It's black and white when it comes to Christine Blasey Ford because she passed a polygraph? But it's gray and murky as to Joe Biden because why exactly? You and other liberal women like him? This is not how the world works.— Rebecca Kavanagh (@DrRJKavanagh) April 30, 2020
People responding below - I'm not even talking about the substantive allegations against Kavanaugh or Biden, but how ridiculous Ms. Milano's tortured rationalizations sound. Nothing in this world is black and white. I mean she cites a damn polygraph like it proves her case.— Rebecca Kavanagh (@DrRJKavanagh) April 30, 2020
From her piece: “It’s okay to look at evidence and come to your own conclusion. It’s okay to vote the way you want.”
I’m soooo glad this actress is giving me permission to do what I already do. I’m willing to bet that she will take back her words for those of us who support Trump.
As a public service, I will summarize Milano‘s article.
If a conservative is accused, believe the woman.
If a liberal is accused, listen to the woman. But you are under no obligation to believe her.
It depends on what the meaning of the word is...is
No one knows if Balsey Ford passed a polygraph. The information on it was never provided.
could not read passed the first few sentences. she’d entitled to her view and choices but i her writing is not worth my time.
Yeah, she was on that one where Tony Danza played an Italian-American guy named Tony.
