I love it how every. single. celebrated director who’s made seriously feels-bad-to-watch unpleasant movies in the last 20 years is being outed as a piece of shit who should be tossed overboard. IT’S SO DELIGHTFUL NOT HEARING ABOUT WHAT WONDERFUL AUTEURS THEY ARE. Because they’ve always sucked.

I’m so glad that this guy’s being talked about. I don’t know him, I don’t know his writing, I don’t know his approach — or I didn’t before today. But as a Jewish woman I’m sick to death of this plague of unbelievably shitty, entitled Jewish men taking massive dumps all over everyone, robbing people blind, undermining

“You should be nicer to terrible people” is...stupid, yes, that’s the word, stupid.

Maybe fuck competition altogether?

Makes sense till you consider that ZPG isn’t the same thing as “nobody have kids”.

How about a thank you for not having children, but recognizing that the people who’re taking on the work and expense of having/raising them are doing you a giant solid because someday you’re going to need those kids bad in the form of

Fathers can have their day when they’ve earned it, son.

I’m a single parent who does not get tons of support from the other (definitely not co-) parent. I’d still say hold off on that judgment till you’ve actually done the job.

Literally no man I know or have known can handle what I’ve done as a single mom. Not. one. man. I’m almost 50. I’ve met a lot of men.

You know what? The honest men admit that it’s true.

It’s not strange at all. Men flip out when women take credit for what we’re doing, especially when it reveals that they ain’t doing shit. Because they’re busy taking credit that they haven’t earned and it pisses them off really hard if anyone shakes that situation.

Hello, selfish boy.

It’s allowed to feel both terrible and strong. My kid’s nearly grown, but I’ll be in a rage forever at how this country treats single mothers. You are amazing and it’s a crime you have to go through this. Happy belated father’s day.

No. Not until they deserve it. In 2018? I want documentation. Including number of women the dads have shifted their childrearing responsibilities to because ffs they have to work, don’t they? And amount of money they’ve spent on themselves rather than saving it for the kids’ college like they ought to, rather than

I’m super-dubious about those badass single dads, who always seem to have a mom or ladyfriend around to help out with the kids, meaning actually take care of the kids. Sorry. In 15 years of single-momming, ain’t seen it. What I have seen: many, many single dads willing to throw their kids at relationship with a

My kid is my cleaning person. I pay her $25/hr, she cleans well, and she’s learned that minimum wage is garbage and she shouldn’t settle. She also saves most of the money for college.

Unless you’re the single parent of small children, you need to manage your life and/or kids better.

I ain’t got none of those, but I’ve been a single mom nearly 15 years, and the comments about not knowing a man who could do what I’ve done in that time ring absolutely true. Every man I’ve ever seen with responsibility for a kid promptly finds ways of shifting that responsibility and then lies about it, to himself

Hello, insecure dude.

Are you twelve years old? Like, for real, about twelve? Serious question. Because I’ve been responding to idiots saying things like you just said for at least ten years here, and the only excuse you have for not already knowing why what you’ve said is a shit sandwich is that you’re twelve, and this is all new to you.

So

Oh for god’s sake, fuck you too. I really hope that someday, after having been attacked, you find yourself on the receiving end of similar advice from some idiot pig of a cop.

THIS EXACTLY.

It doesn’t “look like” victim blaming. IT IS VICTIM BLAMING.
