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.
I bet shes’s still under contract with the cola company and can’t say anything to badmouth them but a thinker could work around that and still show some concern or remorse.
I disagree respectfully.
I live in New York and guys like him are a dime a dozen, and completely obnoxious and delusional. They have no substance, they all just went straight from their clueless overpriced private school bubbles to their clueless overpriced hedgfund management/day trader/real estate exec bubbles, and they don’t even get that…
I’m a feminist. But I still watch and enjoy Woody Allen movies. You can enjoy the art that shitty people make. Infact most people who make great things are usually pretty shitty people. I get if people can’t always disconnect though.
The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.
No to play Captain Obvious here, but that person who said you deserved getting your breast twisted for talking to the guy? That person is not your friend.
Anthony Weiner not being dead in a ditch or renditioned to a black site in Yemen is proof that Hillary ain’t killed nobody.
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.
