I love this excuse because of how wimpy it makes all the movie performers seem. Actual broadway casts have performed this musical in furry suits, actually dancing for prolonged periods, without the magic of editing to cover their rest breaks or climate controlled multimillion dollar movie studios.

What about Little Shop of Horrors?

I’m guessing that former press secretary has a lifetime supply of smelling salts and pearls.

Ultimately, though, perhaps the reason that Victoria and Elizabeth II are so thoroughly imagined as a couple of grandmothers to the nation

The former press secretary that the Sunday Times quoted clearly did not see the episode of The Crown. The scene where she and Porchey were at dinner Elizabeth was musing about getting to spend a life raising horses away from the burdensome duty of being Queen - a burden she emphasized (and has been emphasized many…

Me pulling a knife on someone harassing me and getting him to run away is about as far from “catering to men” as I can imagine, but okay.

I made it very clear that this might not be the best response in some situations. I never said it was “simple” I said I have survived abduction, robbery and rape attempts. Thanks for shaming my survival, though! I’ll try to do it your way next time and get back to you.

Actually the statistic is that if you are a person with mental Illness and/or a physical disability you are more likely to be a victim than a perpetrator.

But that doesn’t necessarily translate to this situation where most likely this woman would have been attacked and raped and murdered regardless. When you are facing a killer, I doubt that being aggressive makes a difference. I’ve heard all sorts of advice. Including more than one true story about the one woman who…

The object is not to win, it’s not to die or get raped. If they think you’re crazy, they leave you alone.

Bull. I am saying I had better results when I was aggressive in response to unwanted male approach. I also said I was assaulted by a neighbor, which happened twice when I was nine. Having been a victim myself, the last thing I’m going to do is blame someone for being attacked! Are you out of your mind?
I was stalked…

I’m glad that you’ve had success in your approach. Your comments, however, read as very victim blaming. That somehow women’s assaults are because they didn’t respond appropriately.

I’ve done the same, and the men usually respond with something like, “I was just saying hello, you crazy bitch”. There’s no way to win with these men. 

As a female person, I had a lifetime of catcalls, attempted rape, attempted kidnapping, stalking and all the rest to contend with. (As a child I was molested by a neighbor.) One thing I found is that when I was aggressive in return, these men were less likely to mess with me. (Of course there’s always the chance this…

The US is full of weirdos that falsely believe that Socialism is bad yet these same idiots watch FuxNews where Tucker Carlson tells them that he has no problem with Russia invading the Ukraine and would be ok with Putin bringing back the Soviet Union.

This. Tulsa in particular is recent in my mind thanks to Watchmen, though it is merely one example. The story of post emancipation America is not simply one of Jim Crow, it is one of repeated generational theft and transfer of wealth from black families to white. And unlike Jim Crow, much of it has continued onward…

Apparently, it’s not the fact that the unemployment rate for black college graduates is twice as high as the unemployment rate for white grads. Black college graduates are paid 80 cents for every dollar a white person with the same education earns. White people leave college with lower debt and higher earnings.

“It proves men like him are more willing to perpetuate the fantastic narrative of negro neighborhoods needing more role models and briefcase-carriers”

And, BTW, I don’t think the first part of his sentence is actually inherently incorrect; I wouldn’t even necessarily call it a lie, because he might actually believe it. Everyone can more easily make a goal become real if there is some kind of visual representation of the complete project.

Dgs: you're not getting out of the greys on my account, but you could measure success thusly: Mr. Harriot is a professional writer who is paid to tell compelling stories. You're a sad bag of shit who's reduced to creating burner accounts so you can spend the evening hours trolling folks on this website. Congrats. It…
