If we’re talking about recent Disney releases, Moana is the far superior movie.

High five! I kept trying to be as knocked out by Frozen as everybody else was, but it was mostly kind of all right? And Olaf was the fucking worst part of it.

HOnestly Olaf ruined the whole thing for me. My wife and I were thinking we somehow were in the wrong theater.

Oh, jeez—that’s pretty fucking bad. Of course, these are also the people that gave us Song of the South, so it’s disappointing without necessarily being surprising. Fuck.

Also, in what twisted world is the violent rape of an unconscious woman mitigated by being carried out in a “three sided trash enclosure” instead of “behind a dumpster”?

Did they give us an update on whether or not he is able to enjoy steak again? I’ve been so worried about that.

Yeah that has to be it. His awful family has built his confidence back up to where he feels he deserves a future again. It’s funny how none of this sounds like remorse yet...

I’m interested in the question of sentencing, too. The thing where Oscar Pistorius’ sentence was increased after a review in South Africa brought up so many questions for me: Won’t he automatically get a new judge if he’s granted an appeal? Isn’t the new judge much less likely to give him a lenient sentence? Can…

A 172-page brief? After the time had been served? Well. Shelling out $200k (an educated guess) to clear a criminal record suggests at the very least that his sentencing statement of remorse wasn’t exactly heart-felt.

This is nice news. White, male, privilege really never ceases to amaze. Dumpster vs. 3 sided trash receptacle, or whatever. Wouldn’t anyone just think, holy crap I should just thank my lucky stars I’m already out of jail?

A local news outlet republished the statements made by his father and his female friend this morning, and I felt the fury of a thousand suns all over again.

My guess is that Brock is trying to get off the sex offender registry. Daddy’s friends will always give him a job, but the sex offender registry is its own nasty beast that he can’t buy his way out of.

Agree, but also take away that if this was well known, she is right that the agents are complicit if they send those girls in alone.

I absolutely see the logic in your reasoning and think you’re spot on about what’s going on in her head. But shit, when do we start demanding that people who lack imagination live outside of their own experiences? You’ve done about a thousand times more mental work than Pam has just in this comment, but she’s given a…

This needs to be at the top of the comments but I only have one star to give!

Sure, perhaps they should have known better. Perhaps it was naive for any of these women to go into Weinstein’s hotel room expecting to be treated professionally and respectfully there. But then what? Just give up, leave their careers, and go home? Part of the problem is what Weinstein did to those women in his hotel…

Expect to be coddled. Yep, screw off with that bullshit.

There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of…

This.

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.
