This is not a case where appealing to double standards makes sense. The reason we’d be happy for the older woman/younger man combo is that it fights the prevailing (and shitty) cultural assumption that women dry out at a certain point and should be traded in for a younger model. The older man/younger woman combo…

The kind of power being talked about is not held by individuals. It’s systemic, the product of institutionalized practices that disenfranchise entire generations of people based on race.

Everyone ‘gets it’ in the sense that we see where the reasoning came from. But it’s fundamentally bad reasoning based on making an exception of oneself and screwing over everybody else. It is the very definition of immoral, shitty behavior. We can understand how he came to do what he did AND condemn him for it. Doing…

Top notch trolling. Gotta make it seem like you’re unravelling a bit or it’s just not believable.

I know practice counts for a lot, but even with years of experience I’m surprised more women don’t eat it walking into awards shows and premieres.…

My god, I know. I gave up after the third degrading description of rape and murder. But like, it’s not the writer’s fault, he’s just SO HARDBOILED, you know?
