Strange that the sexism is present in women as well, isn’t it? I have discovered this myself in podcasts; I’ve noticed that if I’m annoyed with a voice, its usually coming from a female. But with me, its the vocal fry. I hope its just because I’m going deaf and therefore they’re more exhausting to listen to when the…

Good point. I think the intensity of The Hillary Hate has something to do with with how people bond in social groups. The Hillary Hate was well established before President Obama became famous, so Michelle has experienced some benefit in being a newcomer.

“With any luck, it’ll be staid and adult and with no funny business abroad.”

Me too! And wouldn’t the act of taking the pic count as voyeurism or peeping? Aren’t they illegal? I feel like its a type of assault, but I haven’t seen many people talking about that aspect of this. Body shaming is the least of the very awful things she did here.
I hope society makes an example of her. This can’t…

I see misogyny all over the place. Not sure it seeing it in comments on news article should have any bearing on how we view criminal trials. Sometimes I try to remind people that there are plenty of ways to insult the accused without resorting to misogyny, ageism, fat shaming, ugly shaming, or whatever other insult…

I think her actions should definitely be considered a crime. I can’t say which one. That is for someone with legal experience. But we can’t allow this kind of behavior in society.

Cinemark is shit and a chain, but I know this much in fees would cause a smaller chain to close. They might be small enough. They are competition for my tiny theater so no tears from me if they do fold.

Yeah, I’m as liberal as they come, but I can’t believe some of the weak and whiny idiots on here lately. If they had been around during Roe v. Wade, abortion would still be illegal.

Fuck that whiny shit. Abortion is not some deep dark shit no matter how much Megan McCain wants you to feel that way. I watch the show too and I feel the polar opposite that you do. Why is your viewership of TDS relevant? And if it is, does that make my viewership irrelevant? What, are you hoping Stewart is gonna come…

I think the outrage here is giving this issue more dire gravitas than it deserves. Women have a right to abortions and we have a right to make jokes about it and laugh at jokes about it without being judged and shunned. This reaction was started by a Republican and it plays into their bullshit con about how abortion…

I loved Stewart, but he chose Noah and I think he made a good choice. Everybody has this weird boner for the excitement of condemning and judging. Get over it already.
The young, black, South African comic is not that bad, no matter what your ‘I’m a special connoisseur of comedy’ boner is telling you.

Utter bullshit. My sister was around all sorts of methods like knives for years. It wasn’t until an uncle, unaware of her mental illness, gave her a gun that she successfully committed suicide. That idea of a moment of shocking obliteration draws them. That it completely obliterates them means it will work, unlike…

The character witnesses calling her a devil etc. will not matter in court. And they won’t matter during the course of a police investigation, so don’t worry about that. They don’t listen to jibber jabber. Wasser and the judge will be looking at her arrest record etc.
I know that junk is hard to read, but it really…

Yeah, I’ve seen some of that. Serious MRA overtones coming from some people, however, I couldn’t say who is really his friend, who is a rando commenter, etc. For people that were friends with him, they must have seen some things but I bet they are staying quiet. I really doubt Depp’s one-time tattoo artist is his…

Why do you think I have no empathy?? And what a way to denigrate the real work of protecting DV victims: changing public policy. You want a show: go somewhere else.

No, it would only help her. It sounds like you are conflating public court of opinion and the actual court of law that matters in society. It would help her with both, but only one truly matters. Again, this case is an example of the uphill struggle policy makers and the police have when it comes to helping DV…

Filing the police report would mean entering her evidence into a criminal investigation. Just because they missed the bruising the initial night does not mean she couldn’t go in days later and file. The initial on the scene cops aren’t the only ones making decisions about what investigations to open. The LAPD made it…

That might feel good in the moment for her, but in the long run, its a shallow victory as well as a very poor example to set for other DV victims. And she has said she is and wants to be an example to other DV victims so I don’t have any hopes for her that are unfair. Advocates for victims have spent years crafting…

The refusal to file a police report is what is holding some people back I think. It isn’t a great combination with selling photos to People magazine. Her lawyer also agreed to the continuance so we don’t really know who feels what about anything.

Well, she hasn’t filed a police report and the police didn’t see any evidence that would have legally required them to begin a criminal investigation so there are no criminal proceedings as far as I’m aware. Has something changed? Why isn’t that the story? Bobby Finger sure is weird sometimes.
