Understood and my apologies if my initial response came off as snappish.

I’m not one for tone policing, but if you really want people to make the effort to understand a frequently misunderstood issue, taking on an aggressive tone when they’re asking reasonable questions and it’s obvious they’re not trying to be offensive or deliberately obtuse isn’t how you get them to listen to you. Your…

I was seriously expecting him to turn to the camera and brag about looking up the skirts of 10-year-old girls on escalators. That’s literally what I thought he would do when he inquired the child about going up on the escalator.

I am so sorry you’ve had to endure that. Just seeing his face in any context makes me literally nauseous, I can’t imagine what it’s like for sexual assault survivors who have to relive their horrors every time we learn more of what a despicable piece of shit he is.

I’m sure it isn’t your intention, but you’re making it seem like the women should’ve done better. Remember Mark Wahlberg saying if he’d been on the hijacked planes for 9/11 he would’ve beat up the hijackers? You’re being like that.

This is offensive to shit stains.

They should experience the same terror they’re laughing at women for going through just to see if they’ll just lay back and enjoy it. After all, they should be willing to take their own advice.

can i run that criminally ignorant fuck over with my car and defend my actions as pursuing my automotive freedom?

Those are the words of a rapist. Not even a rape apologist, a rapist.

 I feel like we’ve reached the point where Democrats feel awkward reiterating known facts of the case just because they might cast doubt on an alleged victim, so none of these things are getting brought up whenever this discussion arises.

Yeah, I saw that. Makes a lot of sense considering we’re standing in solidarity with the victim who was a WHITE WOMAN.

The gist of this tweet seems to be that the backlash against BOAN’s director is manufactured by racist people who want to see a film about slave rebellion fail. I think he’s entirely missing the point and should read up more on the accusations against Parker if that’s what he honestly thinks.

I know, and I agree that it sucks they’ve been forced to choose between publicly condemning their director’s bullshit and not sinking this film (and potentially risk burning their bridges as well) all because of his lying, selfish, secretive ways. I sincerely hope the public knowledge of his past tarnishes any hope of…

I think it’s mostly the latter since the boycott is really about the director, but she’s probably avoiding being too specific for obvious reasons.

Gonna leave this thread here as a testament that calling oneself a feminist does not automatically make you so. Selective misogyny isn’t better than misogyny against all women.

Men are fucking psychotic as a gender. That’s the conclusion I have come to.

Cats kinda freak me out, but I have a special fondness for black cats. There’s a certain mystery to them.

“There is a particular pain that black women feel that I don’t think black men understand and it’s a pain that comes from feeling like we do a lot of labor that we are not emotionally compensated for, or publicly compensated for or appreciated for.”

I haven’t followed the case closely enough to know exactly what the cops said, but if they did indeed say she made herself a target by flaunting expensive jewels, then yes it is victim-blaming. I’m not saying that being mindful of your environment and doing what you can to protect yourself is bad advice, but Kim was…
