Do you not realize how that is socially expected of women, and not because one gender is inherently something? Also, yes, you are being sexist and gossipy about women here too.

By your logic we shouldnt trust this Jimmy Bennett as anything more than extortion right? Except in both cases the claims were heavily vetted by the media you disparage and Weinstein is actually facing criminal charges because she wasnt the only one to speak up.

On other sites I’ve seen people use this as a means to dismiss #metoo. And I’m going, “uh you just don’t know how abuse works and how would Argento’s alleged actions negate those of Weinstein anyway.”

Conflict Diamond in the rough, this comment is.

I know all about the conspiracy theories out there about the “Hollywood elite” and the political left conjured up by the deranged lunatics on the right.

I remember the first time a celebrity broke my heart by not living up to the idealized image I had of them in my head. It sucks. That's life.

Just a guess, but I wouldn’t be surprised if James Gunn and his representation said he didn’t want the controversy to hurt the movie and told Disney he was good to stay off the project so long as they use his script and he gets something else in the future.

I am 41. My mother founded a local chapter of the la leche league because she was not going to put up with that shit. Apparently it was a real movement, even back then. Shame that it still has to be.

Etched in the crystal section of my memory is a moment forty three fucking years ago* when I was visiting my mother in Palo Alto CA. The purpose of the visit was for her to get to know her first grandchild at age 5 months. We were out at lunch, and Baby wanted to eat as well. I excused myself and rushed to the Ladies…

It’s good that you realize that this is probably something you shouldn’t bring up with your wife. One thing you can tell yourself though is that the noises your baby makes while they eat are definitely less disruptive than the baby crying in the middle of the church because they’re hungry. 

My friend was a young mother in the 80's. We were sitting at the mall (I know) with her new baby and she was trying to breast feed in a corner of the food court behind a pillar. And mind you she was covering herself with a blanket and trying to as discreet as possible. This little old Italian man walks by and tells…

I have this thing I do when I don’t want to see a mother breastfeeding. It’s called “looking somewhere else”. I hope it catches on!

This made my skin crawl. Yeah he was a good person over all, a passionate and down to earth guy. But still. What the fuck, man?

Man. My girlfriend swears by MASH, but I can’t get over my childhood biases that see it as nothing more than “that thing that comes on to tell me my cartoons are over.”

You guys remember that episode of MASH where the bomber pilot shows up to the 4077 with no dog tags and no significant injuries, but serious amnesia and claiming to be Jesus Christ? Col. Flagg shows up to investigate, and the guys bring Sidney Freedman in to therapize him.

Wait, they split?! Huh. Anyway, back to the matter at hand, thank god he saw through it and she had the sense to listen.

Alternately, make a new show

Finally. A white man in power catches a break.

I love your comment. I happen to love the fancy pregnancy wear because it makes me feel more myself when I feel up to feeling more like myself, but so feel you on needing large quantities of time on end to look like absolute shit, and your “walking fart” made me LOL.

When it comes to heroic women, they always recast.
