Olivia Wilde told Variety that the people who are criticizing the movie are the real sexists

This is a really valid point, and I hope more people see it. The whole “carry a weapon” thing is, IMO, just another way to foist all the responsibility on the victim, and none on the perpetrator.

Which is why my go-to response now when men respond to these issues with “So now I can’t compliment a woman?” is “No, no you can’t; in fact you probably shouldn’t even speak to women if this is your takeaway. Clearly you’re not ready.”

And to all the #notallmen hijacking these threads, when you’re done with your…

Happy to to give you my thoughts on this issue

For legal purposes he can’t be referred to as a rapist murderer until he pleads guilty or is convicted. Moreover referring to him as a catcalling asshole highlights the connection between catcalling and other forms of sexual violence that many people want to deny. The headline already makes it clear that he is a…

Exactly. And also, if she had been carrying a weapon, and defended herself, the headlines would have been “Prissy Honors Student Viciously Murders Man Who Just Told Her She Is Pretty.”  

As well as all the people shrieking about how women need to arm themselves with guns/pepper spray/knives/tasers/etc. without even the thought of whether these weapons can snatched and turned against an already frightened and usually much smaller and physically weaker person. 

He would have assaulted her no matter what she said or didn’t say.

Oh wow.

They should include a classic Herzog voiceover to all future Kardashian episodes, as well as past ones as well. 

“Self-partnered” stinks of Trying Too Hard. I don’t see anything wrong with “single” as a descriptor. The question is always a variation of “Are you coupled?” so the answer will necessarily be couple-centric. Single is simple and accurate, and I haven’t seen a variation that isn’t twice as much effort to say the exact…

Normally, I am loath to kink shame...but fuck this willfully ignorant motherfucker and his gigacreepy urges. He should be jailed for this massive HIPAA abuse.

Yeah but they’re proud of their sexual ignorance because if they don’t know the mechanics of reproduction, then they’re pure and perfect in the eyes of the Lord...

Any lawyerly folks want to address this? It smells a bit like Mr. Williams stepped over the line from “unethical” to “criminal HIPAA violation.”

Georgulas took Luna to see a therapist, who diagnosed the child with gender dysphoria — a mismatch between the gender assigned at birth and the one they identified with. From there, the therapist laid out steps on how to make the child feel affirmed, like letting Luna paint their nails and putting them in a dress,…

This sounds like something Margaret Atwood scrapped from Testaments because it was too ridiculous

I work with a guy from Belgium. Motherfucker better look out!

every morning I get up and eat a plate of delicious men’s brains

And America’s obsession with watching traumatized black people take the higher road is borne of a culture that wants to abandon trauma, that seeks for a neat ending to the structural clusterfuck that forces black people to experience so much of it.

One woman, who testified in front of Congress about #MeToo in the federal judiciary, told Woodward during the Q&A that it was frustrating that he kept interrupting Kantor and Twohey. She’s awesome.
