If you don’t want misogynists near sex workers you will have to abolish sex work all together, as only a misogynist would ever pay for sex.

I 100% believe he said it - but instead of attempting to either give context or talk about his record of supporting women, he decided to fall back on the age old trope of “when in doubt, just call women liars.”

I’m welcome what precisely?

You’re welcome.

Why, it’s almost as though I’m using this account to comment on this specific issue so as to protect my identity!

If you think I’m making this up you’re a damn fool.

Not sure what I’m supposed to have ignored, but perfectly happy to move on if that’s what you’d prefer. 

You are ignoring the fact that the three original writers were kept from even seeing the movie and that the WGA fined the producers as a result. This isn’t an ordinary case of a director being replaced. It’s a case of a writer/director being replaced and then shut out of the premiere and other screenings, along with…

An MRA now, huh? That’s a new one. My complaint is specifically that this person is terrible to other women.

“instead of setting us up to waste time trying to find stories that would substantiate this rumor.”

Fair enough. I don’t hate Olivia (Adam McKay and Jessica Elbaum are the real culprits here) but I do think she has a pattern of being EXTREMELY shitty to other women, and that she uses a manipulative, passive aggressive brand of pop feminism to protect herself from criticism.

As for me, I’m a (mostly?) well adjusted,…

Defensive? Don’t see how. I agree. We’re talking. :)

It would be the most specific, niche delusion I’ve ever heard of, but sure.

Why? Probably because people are seemingly shocked that Olivia would pull a stunt like this Kathy Scruggs nonsense. I definitively am not.

It wasn’t Haskins and Halpern. Susanna Fogel was the director for years. She literally cast Kaitlin Dever and Beanie Feldstein (although Feldstein was originally in a different part) and they were about to start production. That’s how far this got. When McKay and Elbaum were brought on as producers as part of their…

The public story is bullshit, but I understand your skepticism.

Not yet.

Russell’s Teapot refers to unfalsifiable claims, such as the existence of God. This claim is easily falsifiable, but as someone who is telling you these facts anonymously, it’s probably safe to assume I don’t wish to reveal my identity. For this reason, the social media route is out for me. Your position is closer to…

Hey, up to you. But try to find a photo of any writer other than Silberman at the premiere. You won’t.

Yes, Booksmart. Susanna Fogel was the co-writer/director. See further down the thread. And believe me she had plenty of her time wasted. She worked on the movie for years. She’s the reason it is what it is.
