both genders manipulate people. it’s not the same thing as fucking assault, though. c’mon, let’s stop diluting this to the point that actual victims are disrespected.

Have you ever seen the Wanking Tourette Situation play live? Man, they kill it!

Just putting the issues surrounding this story aside for a moment, the juxtaposition with the “Recommended Stories” is something else.

I suspect you’re one of the better guys, and I hope I am too, but if you were telling inappropriate jokes about women into your thirties, you’re arguably part of the problem too

That’s kind of incredible — it reads like you feel guilty for basic attempts at courtship.

For those of you who watch the good place, remember when (Fake) Eleanor spoke about how she was messed up since her parents got divorced when she was young; meanwhile that other girl she was talking to brought up maybe the most traumatic and horrifying story of her shitty childhood, yet she ended up an amazing human…

Don’t be so hard on yourself. As long as you are respectful there is nothing wrong with hoping to get laid after dinner.

It wasn’t the gesture that was the problem. It was my intent. I was not offering dinner to someone I liked as a gesture of kindness. I was offering it as a pretense to initiate a physical act. I felt/feel that my motives were dishonest, and THAT is what bothers me.

What a fucking prick. Either you’re a rapist or you aren’t. Shrugging it off as a product of how we’re all the problem doesn’t excuse shit. No, the problem isn’t all of us. The problem is rapists, harassers, and people who cover up for them.

Morgan Spurlock: I am a rapist.

Did Woody Allen confess to something when I wasn’t looking?

I didn’t know being “unpleasant” was a crime.

I’m surprised no one else is calling him out for his subtle little “my assistant blackmailed me into confessing” bullshit. That addendum right there eliminates any good will I may have granted him for this.

C’mon dude. They’re talking to you (I assume) one man to another. Unless you’re saying that your sexual conduct, good or bad, is inextricably tied to your race, they’re not telling you to shut up *as a black man*, just as a man. They’re not even telling you to shut up; they’re just pointing out that the #notallmen…

I think behavior is part of a continuum. It’s a scale from innocent to egregious. Yes you, and I, and many men might not be, say, 5 or 6 on the scale, but I think just about all of us could be 1s or 2s, having toed that line.

This letter is the most goddamn infuriating thing I’ve read in awhile.

No, he doesn’t, but the only way things are going to change is if men start being honest with themselves. Any man who says he has never committed a wrong is a liar or deluded.

He probably got wind of an impending story and now is probably going to make another documentary about his road to redemption from an admitted rapist to and admitted rapist with a documentary in theaters. So basically Woody Allen.

Maybe she didn’t say ‘no’, but didn’t say ‘yes’ either. Perhaps Spurlock didn’t make any active effort to ensure her consent.

Seeing a lot of people replying to his tweet calling him “brave” and “courageous”, and, nope. I’m glad he realizes what he did was wrong, and hopefully he’s sincere about his desire to change, but he doesn’t deserve to be rewarded with praise for this.
