I don’t think I’d fit in. I think diesels are shit and the automatic transmission has its place in the automotive world.

Yeah, let’s blame it on those pesky millenials! Let’s not blame it on a range of motorcycles where the lightest weighs as much as the Death Star, the cheapest is still fucking expensive, the most powerful couldn’t pull the dick off a chocolate mouse, the most sporty has the dynamic prowess of a bag of shot badgers and

“My statements were taken out of context...”

the actors will be fed their lines through a freaking earpiece and will be expected to deliver their dialogue that way, line by excruciating line.

I like your description of “foggy brain”. While following this story, and reading all the brave and passionate internet discussions, I’ve also felt a low-level foggy panic. This topic brings up a weird mixture of emotions and survivalist adrenaline. Thank you for being gentle on this thread-I will try to be gentle

That’s an unfair personal attack. Don’t be a jerk to the other commenters, please.

Men speaking out is a positive things because it reflects the reality of sexual assault. Many men are sexually assaulted, either as children or when they are adults. They should be supported because they are victims, and every time victims are supported and believed then I feel safer. Every time victims are silenced,

If there’s only one group who should be spared the suggestion of “me too-ism”, it’s people who have been molested or raped by those in positions of power.

They are speaking up to say “This is a huge problem, and it’s clear why the victims don’t come forward; because their lives would be ruined if they did.” There’s nothing wrong with that - especially when you consider how many are being criticized for not saying anything. It’s nothing like the Holtz story you

it almost a little feels like that other story that came across my feed about Lou Holtz saying he has also been unfairly stopped by police, so he doesn’t get why black guys are pissed

I don’t think it is fair to say that male actors would not have faced systemic oppression if they came forward. It would not be the same systemic oppression women face, but it would be bad for their careers because of homophobia in Hollywood.

 For me, men coming out with their stories of abuse is a positive and necessary thing because it clearly shows that these incidents are about a person in power abusing that authority. This isn’t about men being men and women putting themselves in harm’s way which is how most people would see it if only women were

Uh, she said they come after McGowan, whom she called a superhero. Don’t be a douche.

It doesn’t strike me as “me too-ism” at all, especially when you consider the words these men have used. They’re coming out in support of the women and also showing that this is a pervasive issue that doesn’t just affect women. Heck, in the comment thread on The Root piece about this, several men shared their stories

I’m okay with, “Me, too, and this is really a problem we need to fix.” Crews, Eminem, etc.

I get what you’re saying, because it feels a bit like “me too-ism,” but I actually think it’s really important. Hollywood obviously had a HUGE problem with people in power sexually abusing those not in power. The “casting couch” has existed for decades. Bryan Singer has been abusing minors basically in the open for

who I absolutely understand have a whole host of societal pressures keeping them quiet, but ultimately if they had come forward would not have faced the same systemic oppression from the system that women face

To me it almost a little feels like that other story that came across my feed about Lou Holtz saying he has also been unfairly stopped by police, so he doesn’t get why black guys are pissed.

I appreciate it, actually.

I feel kinda the same way, even with Terry Crews, who is as supportive of women and women’s rights as Patrick Stewart. ie they are truly nice guys.
