Quote From: letitus As a woman I am so embarrassed by Tasha's behavior and the website she has created. Women in this country have fought for years to be taken seriously and hold power, and we are still fighting today.
Let's face it folks, who still really holds the power in our society?(White upper class Christian men). When I say power I am referring to the individuals upholding our founding institutions (government, education etc). Men (generally) believing we cannot play their game because we are too emotional.
Tasha has reinforced this societal norm and is profiting from it. Smart on her part I suppose, but damaging for the rest of us. She has gone on national television and has come across as an immature child scorned by an ex lover and wants to see all men suffer regardless of their guilt. She claims she makes no assumptions as to the guilt of the either party, yet she automatically assumes the defendants Todd defended were guilty which speaks to her character.
Who has not been hurt in a relationship? Who has not be wronged by an ex (probably why they are your ex)? These questions apply to all genders. Why should men be slammed while the women remain anonymous, and in the words of r. Phil "gutless cowards" ? It is one thing to complain to a friend, but when you make derogatory comments about someone on a global website that is damaging to ones character this is unacceptable. Todd hit it on the head when he said this will affect him for the rest of his life, employers 'googling' people and so forth. I have been told by several professors they will check websites such as "myspace" and "facebook" to investigate the students in their classes (and the pictures of me at the last weekends kegger came down.... haha j/k), so it is not out of this world to believe future employers are doing the same thing.
In conclusion .... Todd go get her!

OMG!! I too was embarrassed for Tasha! She needs to move on and stop encouraging women to wallow in self-pity and revenge. What she is doing is wrong! This gives real meaning to the phrase "misery loves company". I'd rather learn from my experiences being dogged by a man than join on that self-pitying band wagon of miserable women. Don't back down Todd. There's a lot of women out there who feel your pain.
