There’s so much judgment in these comments about her and other women not “just knowing” the right thing to do, right away. We don’t know what their lived experiences are, why it took so long to get there. For some women, it unfortunately never happens.

Agreed.  Look at all of the famous actors that have worked with Polanski after his rape charges.  Why isn’t anybody hounding Harrison Ford for working with him on Frantic?  Or Hugh Grant on Bitter Moon?  Everybody’s memory is apparently five minutes old and it’s always on women to explain why they made decisions that

If #metoo taught us anything, it’s that even high profile actors can be harassed, intimidated and shamed, and that abusers enable and protect other abusers. There’s no way to know everything that went into her decisions to do those movies, or why she felt they were still highly respected enough to work with, but we do

Finally someone says they were wrong, but it’s never soon enough. Maybe we should give people the room to admit fault or else we will have even more people afraid to do so. 

For the record, I wasn’t a GoT fan and don’t give a shit about Weiss and Benioff. But I hate the terrible logic in articles like these. I’ll focus on two issues:

Oh please, Game of Thrones was so ‘bad’ that Jezebel ran a detailed report of each new episode to discuss how ‘bad’ it was. And these guys were so terrible that everyone thought Game of Thrones sucked right from the beginning. Which is why they made like 8 seasons of it. Which everyone hated.

Hey so the main writer on this series, Alexander Woo, is Chinese American.  That should be acknowledged somewhere in this article.  The question should be why can’t Woo do this alone w/out these white guys.

She’s an idiot, for sure. But this seems to have happened so quickly, my guess is OnlyFans had something like this in mind already. She was just an easy excuse to move forward with it. They’re not exactly a benevolent force. 

It may be my working class roots showing but the wedding announcements section in the New York Times is always full of shady characters hiding behind Ivy League degrees and fancy job titles.  

I too am often surprised by issues I was unaware of, like marriages I was in until very recently.

you allude to another good point--Trump expects loyalty but never, NEVER, returns it.  Kellyanne has been a faithful lapdog for him for 3+ years but the second it becomes politically expedient to cut her loose, of course he’d do it.

So, no genuine person is going to believe that the campaign of a guy who literally got into the race because of the shit we all saw go down in Charlottesville is appealing to the Richard fuckin’ Spencers of the country. lol

“[T]he liberals are clearly more competent people.”

Comrade Claudia out here being more effective than any elected Democrat.

I’m all for snark but come on, every single article I’ve seen on here lately is just shitting on people. The cast of Pitch Perfect (a movie I enjoyed, please don’t come for me) raised $5,000 for singing for a few minutes. They are literally (probably) at home doing nothing and they managed to raise $5,000. If I could

Lynching someone for whistling at a white woman can be considered “consequences for your actions”. So can being executed for dissident writings. We distinguish between such punishments and those products of systems we consider fairer, but “cancelling” is essentially an uncoordinated war of all against all in which

She’s not a victim, and yes, she totally sucks. Do I still enjoy seeing her swatting away Orange Apocalypse when seemingly tries to hold her hand? Yes, because a) I’m just that petty and b) deep down, it probably does wound that puffed up ego of his a tad, and that’s always enjoyable.

The “resistance” needs to stop. The desperation to get Trump out of office is leading to the derangement the deplorables crow about. People are becoming just as psychotic as those who claim to see the virgin Mary in a stick of butter. They’ve whipped themselves into imagining misery for this family when they are just

That last sentence is everything!

their concern about being confronted for not wearing a mask in public has led them to avoid going going out:
