I agree the problem of misogyny extends across all men. My comment was purely limited to the way the narrative of “forgiveness” seems to hijack specific religious themes to get perps off the hook.

“As for me, I’ve started asking, “How come you want these victims to ‘get over it,’ yet if anyone suggested the same about 9/11, you’d blow a gasket?” I’ve never gotten a response.”

It’s literally our job in this society and without it said society would fall apart, and everybody knows it. It’s like we’re on a giant, ancient ship, leaking from every seam, and women are the ones who have to spend our entire lives running around patching, patching, patching. Because if we don’t it’s our fault we’ll…

There are people I will never forgive and they’re dead. I’m good with that.

I like America Ferrara’s take on #metoo.

Good for you. I find the insistence that victims of every kind of crime forgive “for themselves,” and usually asap, such bullshit. It is one more burden to put on people who don’t need any more. This idea that the only options are forgiveness or being eaten up inside thinking about the person who wronged you for the…

Another element of himpathy is the push for forgiveness and healing — sometimes literal days after the action. But when people say “forgiveness,” what they really mean it moving on, being over the transgression, and never mentioning the incident again. We’ve become so focused on that, that we don’t realize that…

Respectfully, I wonder if you understate the importance of the original. My parents watched it and I do think it sort of eased my coming-out process— at a time where I felt uncertain about how, for example, my dad might feel about me, I knew he liked these five gay men on his TV once a week. They were like a gay…

You are doing the next level “there are starving children in Africa” dick move right now. You aren’t more interesting or a better person because you can derail a conversation and show concern about a more serious topic. It just means you can’t read the room.

You’re right in that society as a whole should be better about putting less emphasis on the importance of looks.

You don’t understand how it’s different when the privileged group gives themselves an “us only” thing than when the oppressed group does it? The inequality is what makes it not the same.

Possibly to probably however, all things are not equal. Women have faced a very long history of exclusion, minimization and invisibility in the public sphere and creating a ‘men only’ space (especially around a movie and character that is very female facing) is adding to an already burdensome pile of bullshit. Men,…

Certainly that’s where they are coming from, for the most part. But...

If humans don’t evolve past human nature, none of anything good will happen. Sadly we are regressing.

I think that’s reasonable. Just like the current incarnation of our species is not currently in the process of dismantling almost every protective regulation on the environment in the name of partisan idealogy.

Me, defiantly:

I disagree respectfully.

Aw, Dickless, so you can't get fucked cuz bitches can smell the hatred coming out your pores? Got a newsflash for you, Precious: getting laid is NOT a Constitutional right.

Well done on giving 4chan attention, Jezebel, that definitely isn't what they want.
