This is the exact explanation of being 15.

EVERY 15 year old thinks they are grown up, their parents are holding them back and they need to move out. One good thing about being lower middle class, my parents could just reply “How are you planning to pay for that?” 

And some of us are even Jewish!

Totally agree. A lot of shit went down with those two, but I don’t believe Monica was sexuually harrassed like the women in #metoo.

I think a lot of it has to do with how the characters are built. In so many of these movies the characters are entirely one-dimensional (either good or bad) and every action is so obvious and pre-determined that they might as well be consulting the script for their next move.

Yea, the problem with most of these movies (especially of the fundie bent) is that they are torn between two goals, one of which is impossible and one of which makes for boring cinema. The goal that a lot of them say they want to accomplish is to convert people. But literally no one who is not already 100% sold on…

This.

IIf they really wanted a smart beautiful movie The Passion of Joan of Arc by Carl Th Dreyer. It’s black and white and silent so no one will watch it, but it’s really great and holds up still and I’m not religious at all.

You lost me at “flyover states.” I’m fucking sick of that shit. Stick your coastal snobbery right up your ass. The middle of the country has plenty of modern, bright people, too. We are not all ignorant fucksticks.

“By and large, it’s made by people who for the most part are only interested in saying things they already know, for people who basically want to hear what they already believe.”

This. I’m not saying the power dynamics weren’t skewed or that some of Clinton’s other past behaviors weren’t allegedly skeevy and/or criminal but applying a #metoo lens to the Lewinsky thing really seems to rob her of agency in a way that’s frankly patronizing if not infantilizing. People hear “intern” and assume she…

This coverage infantilizes Lewinsky who was an adult at the time, but in 2018 is being portrayed like and innocent teenager. The concept of adult is being pushed closer and closer to 30.

I won’t dignify the rest of this with a response, but Hillary didn’t ride on Bill’s coattails; he tethered his coattails to her and she carried him to (and through) the presidency. I’m not saying he was nothing more than a front for her, but he had her to thank for everything he ever achieved.

Agree. With everything happening on the daily, why why why why are we rehashing this shit now?

I get that he was older and should have known better, but, what does that have to do with the panty removal before he walked by?

If we want to be mad at anyone be salty with the GOP and Linda Tripp. Newt Gingrich was leading the charge against POTUS. A man who cheated on all his wives and was on wife number 3. This had nothing to do with justice. I don’t care what our politicians are doing in their private lives unless they are breaking…

Exactly, she needs to grow the fuck up. She is being called a cunt because of her actions, I personally not a fan of the word use at all but I think it was a strategic risk Bee took in a good faith effort to bring attention to what Bee saw at state sponsored child abuse during the furor they knew that it would cause.

While that’s obviously the last thing any of us want happening, it will at least make a FUCKING OBVIOUS POINT when women start dying from back-alley abortions. Again. I really can’t believe they think ending legal abortion means all abortions will stop - it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
