What’s more, perhaps the lesser known good ones aren’t more famous because they refused to be complicit with this shit. I say axe all the assholes and see what happens.

My favorite thing (if such a thing exists) about all this awful shit is that I don’t give a fuck if Dustin Hoffman ever works again. Or any of them! If Tom Hanks and Levar Burton are the only men left in the entertainment industry in 18 months, you know, so what? The fate of R. Kelly, Jeremy Piven, et fucking al is…

I’ve had to deal with one of those men in real life (thankfully I wasn’t the one abused, but it would take more than two hands for me to count those he did) and you hit the nail right on the head. It makes you feel lonely, and crazy, and like maybe you are just making a big deal out of nothing.

“My actions are not reflective of who I am.” I wonder what is then?

He doesn’t really know how to word things correctly because the main constituents he’s had for years were all white, and few of us are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because he is just another old guy to us.

That’s nice to say, but when you’re a freshman in college and you picked the wrong guy to walk you home from a party (because it’s not safe to walk home alone!), there is so much shame and guilt that you can’t hear that message.

And if you say this to your daughters while your sons are listening... even if you teach your sons ‘respect women.... don’t rape’ as I’m sure you would ” with the best of intentions .... your sons are still implicitly being taught that women play some part/role in their own victimization... that there are “rules”…

But if they do get assaulted, they will blame themselves. “I shouldn’t have gotten drunk; I shouldn’t have walked home alone.” And they won’t tell you, because you will judge them and they can’t stand to live with your disapproval plus the shame they’ve internalized for doing the “wrong” thing.

Ask me how I know.

Sounds a bit like the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, save perhaps where in one of the multiple universes, everything is antimatter. I’m not versed enough in MWI to know if this is possible.

Sweet Jesus. She never made a movie again, right? Now we know why. I’ve always loved the product Hollywood put out but honestly, I’m enjoying watching them burn down right now.

What if Putin himself supplies the evidence? Think about it. He literally will be getting paid 10m to fuck up our democracy which is all he wanted to do anyway. That’d be a Tyrion + Little Finger + Jaqen H’ghar move all in one. A move like that would need to have a name. Call it the “Putin Play” and be put on tape to…

I think the issue of the agency that banned Love is at the crux of how he was able to continue with his outrageous conduct, no?

Women are NOT surprised that it has taken this long.

Sexual exploitation has become an issue in places you wouldn’t expect. I recall porn star James Deen found his career torpedoed when he was accused of abusing and molesting and exploiting his porn co-stars. You’ve got to be pretty bad if you’re too creepy for porn.

Is it such a revelation that men in a position of power in Hollywood (or anywhere...) are predatory?

This article, man.

However we choose to overturn the white patriarchal apple cart, we are wrong.

This is beautiful, beautifully written, beautifully felt. A difficult relationship with your mom is a difficult relationship and, unless she respects you, unless she sees you as a person worthy of respect, there will always be a pebble in your shoe. And hers. And there is nothing you can do about it. I had a similar…
