It is interesting to me that no one is looking at Charlie Sheen’s dad, Martin. Epitome of a family man. Age is right, Charlie was on the set of Lucas where Haim was reportedly first raped. Martin has a history of being a raging alcoholic. 4 kids, married to his first wife and been married over 50 years. It isn’t…

What about the revered PARENT of a peer who might have had access to the set where his son was working? A sexually abusive parent would go a long way to explain a train wreck of a child, who might eventually act out in similar ways.

My cousin’s death certificate says he died of a heart attack. But it was a heart attack caused by a drug overdose. Similarly, aspiration-pneumonia = essentially choking on your own vomit due to a drug overdose. I mean, we can pretend Jim Morrison also died of a random heart attack, and Jimi Hendrix died of…

But Charlie Sheen has never, ever, in his entire career, been referred to or thought of as a “family man”. Not even close. And they use that exact phrase as an identifier again and again. There is just no reason at all they would do that with Charlie Sheen. (Not to mention, I think it’s a stretch to say he was or is…

The person you’re looking for is most likely about 65-85 now and probably had about 10-20 years in the industry when Cory-x2 came onto the scene.

I’ve heard that too. I think Sheen is mostly straight but with the drugs he does, he’s probably done horrible things all over the place. But who would describe Sheen as “A-list” and especially as “a family man”?

Hmm. Everything I’ve read about Travolta (also gossip, mind you) makes mention of muscle-y-handsome, Greek God-type men. I always imagine that Travolta is deeply attracted to himself in “Staying Alive.”

Kim...actually seems nice. Her mother is clearly a fame where spawn of the devil, but Kim seems to put work into her endeavours, be a mom, and look goddamn fierce. If you personally have more requirements for an incredibly famous woman, please file them at 1-800-doinfine

Why does it have to be a competition? Why can’t you accept that people get upset about things and not other things? Why does it matter why someone finds something offensive?

I guess part of the problem is that sexual assault is an incredibly common problem for women, but the version of it that horror puts forth is the least likely one — and the one that most men will agree to being “wrong”: namely that you’ll be assaulted by a stranger who is clearly evil.

Look like the men who are running things are doing it in a way that we both find distasteful. If all the violence against men in movies, as well as jokes about prison rape bother you, maybe you can take steps to express to the men who make those movies and most of those jokes why it’s a problem. Stop paying money to…

Hell, plain ol’ male nudity hikes the ratings, no matter what context it’s in. I remember years and years ago when the film Angels and Insects came out (it’s a terrific movie) and one of male characters was shown frontal starkers. Every single review both mentioned the nudity and how brave the actor was for going bare…

Which is why I think it’s used in this particular way (the rapist is the monster/stranger) so often in movies. It’s a distancing thing. The guys who make the movies don’t have to feel like they’re complicit in rape culture since they make the act “othered,” and vengeance is often sought and achieved.

We are not talking about every possible act of violence against a male character that could be shown in a movie, while expecting female characters to never encounter any violence. Note that there is no complaint about any other kind of violence the woman in the movie experiences. This article is about this particular…

I love horror/thriller movies. They are my favorite genre. But, like many women, I’ve been sexually assaulted. It’s hard to find a good horror movie that does not involve the sexual assault of a woman. I’m not sure why; it’s such a lazy ass trope that is used entirely too often.

My thought exactly. It’s rare a woman hasn’t been groped by some asshole in her lifetime. It’s pretty messed up that in that regard, men are considered so terribly neutral on this issue.

Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…

The problem I have with that is that the type of people who watch Fox News also believe that our lives are simply the sum total of our choices. They believe that anything that happens is due to a choice that we made at some point in the past. There are no outside influences, unforeseen circumstances, or just plain bad…

I don’t think long-term sexual harassment was her “sword”

Fox News as an organization is just disgusting. I don’t care what you think about the female newscasters that work there, they’re human beings with human dignity and don’t deserve to be treated like chattel.
