This may be the first and last time I will ever say this, but DAMN I AM PROUD TO BE AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN RIGHT NOW. When the outcome was announced this morning I actually cried. Proper tears, like.

I don’t think I have ever met a man who acts the same around men as he does around women. Not necessarily in a sexually inappropriate way, either. I mean, I’m a woman, so I don’t get to witness them with JUST men, but in mixed company, every man I’ve ever known acts differently than they do with me one on one or in a…

Yeah, if you read the personal experiences of women working for him he tended to be standoffish with them and not include them in all the boy’s club stuff. A woman came up to a group game of catch, said “I’m open!” And got cold, bewildered stares. She was told she “already had the job” by him. She was tossed after a…

He goes in the dumpster fire with the rest of them. Sorry :(

Anthony Bourdain said it best. Men, you need to ask yourself where you screwed up and you need to admit it. Jon Stewart came close here, I just wish he were still on so I could see him talk about it in depth / take some action.

IKR?? I get so sick of these jaded dudes who state a thing as if it were forever infinite, eternal, & unchangeable. Dude. Get off your butt and help fix it. HIRE WOMEN, for starters. This stuff isn’t rocket science.

Jon gave Louis a pass. We give John a pass. And the cycle continues.

To the dude who I just dismissed who gave a version of But it was just seeing a penis. What’s so bad about that? Women are sexual beings. You can’t have it both ways um, yes we can. It is NEVER appropriate to whip your dick out at a colleague unless she has explicitly asked you to AND holds the same amount of…

“Comedy on its best day is not a great environment for women.” Really? Well whose fault is that? How about you fix it, dumbass.

Except that you know at least some of the time, there are signs—locker room talk, being derisive about women (particularly those in power), for example—that they just ignore because they’re so used to it and it doesn’t even register for them.

Right? They just can’t imagine that a man might act differently around other men than he does with women? If you don’t personally see it, it didn’t happen?

See, I think this is where it gets confusing for men.

I am remembering how Jon Stewart responded to Jezebel’s and Liz Winstead’s comments about him not hiring women writers. He literally trotted out every woman, from the accounting office to receptionists to assistants, to demonstrate that he hired women. But that wasn’t the point. The point was about women writers (and…

“We took somebody’s word for it, and maybe that’s an error on our part,”

My first response was: what? And then, joke joke, and as he kept going I was like, ‘Look, I know this is very serious, but I know Louie. He’s always been a gentleman—to me.

I would believe it. I don’t care if you’re my bestest friend, if someone tells me you’re a predator, I will ghost your ass so fast you’d think my name was Casper.

Pedophile-apologists on the right would like to have a word with you.

“We took somebody’s word for it, and maybe that’s an error on our part,” he says.

I expected more, Jon. But there ya go and here we are.

Liberal, progressive men are the fucking worst.
