News flash: Men turn down sexual advances from repulsive women all the time too, we just don’t feel the need to tell everyone about it at every opportunity.

You did nothing wrong. Nothing.

This is SUCH a difficult business to determine someones worth. Really it is just supply and demand. J-Law has a limited supply of her time to act in movies every year. She is given value by studios because of her acting skill (judged by eye, critical acclaim and awards), her box office draw (but that isn’t the same…

I’ve just read thru this thread, and I gotta say I didn’t take coolcucumbers posts as back handed at all, just misunderstood at best. But you seemed to turn it that way, and for some reason other kooks on here agreed, and attacked him/her. To me, now it seems like you are on here to tell your sad story, even though…

I don’t even know that it’s a guy, do you? You’re not coming across as particularly feminist here; you’re coming across as privileged and mean. God forbid the commenter should find women of color or heavier women or brunettes or even —GASP! —men more attractive. As far as unnecessary comments, you could have kept this…

She might have been the bigger star but more of a supporting role, IMO.

Really? You post a photo of yourself, very thin, labeled as “TOTALLY FUCKABLE” in the comment section of an essay about struggling with the labels folks put on fat women. Then you deny you did it for compliments, but get miffed when a single commenter says s/he finds the photo pretty but not necessarily hot.

methinks this will just lead to more NY production companies..

Yes box office return. Lets say the highest paid actress movies make twice as much as the highest paid male. Should She really be making the same amount as the highest grossing male.

So are you contesting the idea that actors, male or female, are indistinguishable in their prospective probabilities in generating a profitable box office return? I don’t disagree that the ‘status quo’ per se has led to more male stars and thus higher average male compensation benchmarks in Hollywood, but I don’t know…

. So long as “merit” can be a determining factor, you can’t institutionally try to dictate who’s a better actor than who.

Never said it was, never even intimated that. Why are you projecting?

But bankabilty does matter and this idea that the highest paid womem and highest paid man will make the same is insane.

I said she was a pretty girl and that I really liked her dress. If English isn’t your first language or something I can understand (there are posters from all over the world here, after all!) but those are compliments. :)

I was being overly honest, I suppose I could have just included the positives, it would have served you much better, but my purposes were just to comment honestly how I felt, not to just hand out compliments, though I guess I did end up dong that anyways!

I don’t know what to say, I’m sorry my compliments weren’t enough for you? I dunno dude lol you’re a pretty woman, I like the dress. Is that better?

Which makes no sense to me. How is it an accomplishment to have sex with anyone you consider an inferior?

I hate that we are socialized to say “I don’t wish him harm” when coming out with stories of abuse. If you don’t, great, do you. But women shouldn’t be pressured to prove a “pure” motive for sharing their experiences. You're allowed to wish that the person who raped you get hit by a bus.

See girls, we’re ALL beautiful. Taylor just revealed that when she doesn’t have her personal special effects/makeup artist do her daily magic, she’s just like us! Only more plain and unremarkable.

it’s clear as day he say “fuck me! cumsies!”
