They need their families for plausible deniability so yeah, often the wife and kids get a show of largesse and happiness when they’re around—that’s also one reason why guys like this travel a LOT. They can’t keep up the pretense for too long.

Money. Also, you’d be amazed how often the LGB part of the community is ok with a little fudging when it comes to the T part of the community.

Exactly. 9/11 and the rise of Fox News changed everything. Back when the show first aired, blue-collar union workers like Roseanne were solid, reliable, progressive Democratic voters. Post 9/11, with the rise of Fox News and the utter destruction of the union movement, those same people elected Trump. These are the…

That’s a really good point-The fact she says she thought it was a very happy marriage could point to Somme gaslighting/psychological hold going on in their relationship. Also who knows what their prenup said? She could have ended up with him stealing her company and money while she and her children were cast aside…

Ok, has anyone here seen Broadchurch? You should, it’s great.

Women don’t have to support other women when there’s a good reason not to. I don’t work in Hollywood and come from the Midwest yet even I knew about his reputation. She’s not responsible for his behavior, but she is complicit. There are women serving jail time because their boyfriends were involved in criminal…

I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew exactly what he was capable of, and that’s why she didn’t leave him until he was completely powerless and couldn’t touch her. Can you imagine how he would have utterly destroyed her if she divorced him anytime before the scandal broke?

When WW emerges from that bunker to take on the onslaught of bullets alone, my SO got teary and, in turn, I got teary watching her get teary. It drove home to me how impactful that movie was to women and people in general.

I was just happy that a DC movie FINALLY let its hero be the positive archetype that can still kick ass that they’re supposed to be. When my girlfriend and I were walking out of the theater, she looked at me with this giddy grin and said, “I feel like I’m 10 years old again.”

I also love that Wonder Woman has now…

No way. The poorest white has it way worse than Sasha or Malia. I work in a diverse school (large city school district, students about 40% white, 40% Latino, 15% black, 5% Asian). I was working with two students today, one white and one black. They were both asking about each others family, about who they’re…

Same thing happened to me, both in that scene and in the scene where the Amazons charge onto the beach to fight the Germans. (Although I AM into action movies.)

I finally watched Wonder Woman a couple of weeks ago and the battle/training scenes made me tear up which really caught me off guard. I’m not into action movies in general but there was something about seeing badass women doing the stuff men usually do onscreen was really powerful for me.

That’s patently false and diminishes us. Trailer park Becky has it better than Beyonce? In what world?

He’s not wrong. Most people aren’t “all good” or “all bad.” But we shouldn’t feel bad about Schneiderman resigning. He has no one to blame for his behavior but himself. And if he was a great AG, it’s an even greater shame that he can also attribute to himself.

LOL.

That was actually pretty calm and reasonable for Alec Baldwin. Low bar, I know. But still not very different from what a lot of commenters here were saying here when the story broke.

That is patently false. Whites can smell the poor whiteness a mile away and will always prefer to round out their circle with an exceptional black than someone who will reflect poorly on the brand.

This is very disturbing. Last night when the news broke, I couldn’t help but think that somehow 45/Cohen are behind the exposure of this story. Not saying that it’s okay to do what he allegedly did to these women, but the timing is too ripe with suspicion.

Seriously? I think it squares perfectly with a powerful abuser. This is what they do, they build a facade of respectability. Look at Cosby with his “America’s dad” persona. And Sandusky with his “charity” for poor children.

Misogyny, abusive behavior, and male entitlement know no political affiliation, and they never will.
