I can honestly buy that there isn’t any. He’s the epitome of a liberal guy who pays himself of the back for never raping anyone or burning a cross in anyone’s front yard, and ends his self-examination about his behavior toward his others there.

Milano’s response articulated exactly how I’ve been feeling since this all came out. People tried to report their abusers/harrasers/rapists to the police/Human Resources/executives etc and do everything the right way and NOTHING HAPPENED. Instead the survivors were maligned, blacklisted and ultimately silenced.

Setting aside the vile misogyny, it’s another example of how men don’t know anything. Minnie Driver is gorgeous and she was perfect for the role (in an otherwise pretentious movie).

To which he replied first that he thought it was “great” that women are “feeling empowered.” And then:

Let’s also not forget his whitesplaining to Effie Brown on Project Greenlight.

The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse issued its final report on Friday. The stories of the victims are horrific, but the actual abuse pales next to the systemic silence, coverups, and victim blaming that allowed the abusers to continue virtually unchecked for decades.

“The micro makes the macro” is so on point and succinct.

For sure. Alyssa Milano ftw. I didn’t know she was so badass.

No one is conflating them, dude. It must be hard for such a brave Boston boy to understand, but most people understand nuance and degree. The fact that there are differing degrees of wrong doesn’t stop it from being so. He has a point about Outrage Culture, but this isn’t an example of what he is reaching for.

I mean, he cold hardheartedly broke up with Minnie Driver on Oprah by telling Oprah he was single with Minnie next to him.

Damon is just trying to distance his sexual harasser buddies, Affleck squared, from his rapist buddy Weinstein. (Or Damon’s trying to distance his own behavior that hasn’t come out yet from Weinstein.) Anyway, teh menz is scared. And they should be. The sexual harassers don’t want to get lumped in with the rapists and…

He also broke up with Minnie Driver in the most disrespectful spectacle ever.

I definitely want to keep her response in my back pocket to pull out when trying to explain this to men.

Come on. Damon knows exactly what he’s doing. Nothing “tone deaf” about it.

“Listen, this incident took place over a month ago. It was a different time. It is not indicative of who I am now.”

I don’t think it’s a logic hole at all—they’re fleeing to a top secret base, that most people don’t even know about. With Poe’s demotion, he probably didn’t have clearance to know most of it before they got there.

Yeah, I was actually pretty much with the admiral even before the final reveal and turn with her character (and holy crap does she get maybe the best final act in all of Star Wars). She’s trying to hold things together in the face of annihilation. She doesn’t have to explain herself to Poe, who is her subordinate.…

Why didn’t Holdo just tell him the god damn plan?

But why would she have to explain her plan to a subordinate?
