Let me tell you something about Donald Trump: He can do tailspins around all of you.
Nothing relaxes me more than wondering if the person between me and the door will suddenly lunge in my direction! It’s so soothing, I’m thinking of starting a spa called WHAT’S THAT BEHIND YOU, which features enormous, grumpy tigers and pumas and lots of sudden, sharp noises, with staff on hand to out of nowhere start…
This. Even if he (and I suspect he didn’t really) felt the same need to put men at ease, it almost certainly wasn’t with sexual comments about their appearance.
I would really love to hear what Freeman has said to men that’s “complimentary.” Did he also long to watch them have sex? Did he ask them about getting women pregnant?
Is Splinter not covering the Poor People’s Campaign as an editorial choice or is no one on staff aware it exists? (Noisily clears throat in HamNo’s direction)
I guess I want there to be room in this conversation for a man who’s dedicated to women’s rights and equality to also be able to say, “I don’t think Bateman is the devil.” But maybe there’s not.
I honestly feel like the bar for some people is, “If you’re a man, and you make a mistake, you’re excommunicated.”
Yo, if anyone knows that dealing with men means dealing with imperfect men, it’s women.
I was so eager to let Jeffrey know that he was supported in his attempt to learn, grow and apologize that I completely underestimated the feelings of the victim, another person I deeply love.
I don’t know about y’all, but I am so over the “This is a learning moment for me!” lightbulb moment when men get called out on their bullshit.
So to recap:
Like here is a list of appropriate responses from Bateman/Hale/Cross/Arnett:
Jeffrey Tambor is 73 FUCKING YEARS OLD! How much more damn time does he need in order to learn/grow into a person who behaves in a respectful and professional manner?
No, Jessica, you don’t have to be friends with him! God I could cry.
This part was rough to read too:
Reading the way these guys dismiss the incident in front of their co-worker who clearly DOESN’T THINK IT WAS NOTHING is very discomfiting. I get loyalty, even misplaced loyalty, but they don’t seem to have any toward Walter.
