"Anita was an exotic, ambitious, sexy, decadent, dangerous woman," observed Mankowitz. "In a word, she was trouble."

so i was a Sandman (I cannot separate the artist from art when it comes to sa, sorry) fan, and let me tell you

I wasn't going to say anything because I'm not all that active in the fandom or familiar with most of his work, but a lot of people are doubting the women's claims because they'd gone to a right-wing news source apparently?

I've read many posts arguing whether the new site (or podcast??? Kinda confused) is right-wing or not, but the thing is, these two women, who are victims of a dude who has a cult following in a lot of leftist spaces, obviously went to a news source that believed them. And honestly, they were right to, because the amount of posts I've seen defending the rapist is frankly disgusting.

Believe all women, not just ones coming from your trusted leftie news sources. Who on earth would set themselves up against a beloved rich figure who is regarded as a good person unless they are confident that they're telling the truth, huh? And I'm saying this as a socialist, queer person.

If you're yapping out there saying 'these women could be lying for political gain' or 'this is a shmear campaign', just listen to yourselves.

The man guilted them by basically threatening suicide and then called the allegations 'false memories!' That's obvious manipulative behavior. I'd go as far as to say textbook even. Because guess what, I've known of actual assaulters who use that excuse.

Because if you can believe that two women could be lying about the same man, then you better have the capacity to think that maybe, just maybe, the man could be lying about his own actions too, especially when they are as heinous as they say.

Singer Alma Cogan was born in Whitechapel on May 19 1932. She was dubbed the "Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice" and was the highest paid British female entertainer of the 1950s. But the UK musical revolution of the sixties symbolised by the rise of the Beatles, suddenly made Cogan unfashionable and her highest chart ranking in the UK during that time was no. 26 with "We Got Love". John Lennon once recalled that when he was a teenager, he used to mimic her savagely during his time at the Liverpool College of Art but after he actually met Cogan on the TV pop show Ready Steady Go! in 1964, they became close friends.

Cogan's sister Sandra later said that the pair had a serious romance that had to be kept secret because of Alma's family's strict Jewish faith. Cogan embarked on a series of club dates in the North of England in early 1966, but collapsed after two performances and had to be treated for stomach cancer. She died of ovarian cancer at London's Middlesex Hospital on 26th October of that year. She was only 34. She is seen here in Kensington High Street near the lavishly decorated ground-floor flat at 44 Stafford Court where she lived with her widowed mother and where she frequently entertained other celebrities. Regular visitors included Princess Margaret, Noël Coward, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Caine, Frankie Vaughan, Bruce Forsyth and Roger Moore. A blue plaque commemorating her was installed by the entrance on 4th November 2001💐💐💐

Also just so you know according to his own friends Dick Winters "had a way with women and children" to the point where apparently even later in life some crazy ass bitches from the Daughters of the American Revolution were trying to sit in his lap, and a little girl asked her that if her brothers and father died, he could walk her down the aisle, and I think about this daily because apparently his wife Ethel was literally like -rolls eyes- and all I could think was Dick being like :) with women and children and then men come along and Dick just being like -sigh-
