If I wanted to talk about her weight gain, I would talk about her weight gain. There is absolutely nothing in my comment that would even remotely imply a discussion about her weight. How you managed to get that I was calling a “thin” female “fat” because she is not “emaciated” is a mystery to me.

Where is the double standard here?

Are you 15? That’s your sick burn?

Adam Sandler is just too ridiculous for words and I think that his view of women’s roles in films is juvenile. I feel bad for any actress who feels that she needs to work with him to further her career.

Maybe she is relatively known for not always reading scripts completely? Maybe they wanted to make sure that she understood that the she might not be comfortable doing the scene and wanted to make her aware of it?

I think she looks uncomfortable because of her ill-fitting dress.

I mean, I get the point. I just don’t think it’s at all “creepy” or particularly bothersome. If the script is about a lawyer who is fighting for civil rights, then this is pretty awful. But if the role is for a “sexy” woman who wears tight clothes, then it’s fine. Clearly they are more interested in the woman’s looks…

But they knew each other for quite a few years before ever dating, so it’s likely the reality of who he was had set in long before this point. It is entirely possible that in the past 28 years Penn has been able to deal with his very serious issues.

But she would have known that before dating him, so the first “sign” was already there before the first date. And apparently they kew each other for a few years before getting romantic.

But I would imagine that even a not-so-clever lawyer would be able to make a convincing case that a person who publicly publishes a story about themselves in an interaction with another person no longer has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

No, the phrase itself is not problematic. However, I’d say that 99.99% of the time when used by a white person to describe a black person, it’s because the white person just assumed that any black person would not be well-spoken because on television, we’ve generally been portrayed as ignorant thugs, hood rats and…

Jail is most certainly the threat in this case. They don't want this woman to have more children, so they threatened her with jail time in order to get her to undergo a procedure that would not allow her to have children. Again, she did make a choice, but the choice was made under duress.

An extended prison sentence is most definitely a threat.

For me it just depends on how it's said.

I was thinking the same. I mean, look at the runways of Paris, Milan, etc. They are using actual 15 year olds and kitting them out in see-through clothing which totally sells them as sexual objects.

I don't know, I don't really have a problem with the branding.

Probably people who routinely eat the same things themselves. I think it's more "I like it, it's tasty and I want my dog to have the same yummy stuff that I love" more than abuse.

I don't know about that. Sure, your average person isn't a serial killer because they got spanked, but I know plenty of people who are stunningly lacking in emotional maturity because their parents turned to physical violence (and that's what spanking is, my friend) to regulate their children's behavior when they…

I love hashing! I've done it in 20 countries and it's always a great time. But I generally count that as a rest day/active rest day even when I do actually do the run instead of walking.
