Oh girl yes. Between seeing women get blamed for these abusers’ acts and seeing the way homophobes and sex-negative misogynists are exploiting this moment to push their whole ‘See, we told you that sexuality we deem sinful is connected to sexual violence’ agendas, I’m very tired of the ways women are being vilified in

This has always been a problem with major social movements. They become a dick swinging contest on who can do it ‘better’ and vilify those who don’t meet those expectations.

On behalf of villainesses everywhere, thank for your support.

I do think she should’ve worn black because I don’t think that opposing sexual harassment is a political statement, but this is a no-win situation for her. Getting political is a big no-no for royals, so she would’ve been hammered if she’d worn black, but she’s also getting hammered for not wearing black. I think she

I agree, but also think that people considering #Time’sUp “political” are either stupid or making (necessary, but pretty unaware) concessions to evil. There should be nothing more “political” in saying that sexual harassment is pervasive and has to stop than there is something “political” about supporting children

“Can we stop vilifying women who aren’t doing Times Up well enough?”

In her mental health campaigning she has never once mentioned Tory cuts.

For the millionth time, let’s focus on the men, not the women.

This is such bullshit. I’m no fan of the royals, but she puts her money where her mouth is in terms of actually helping causes out, rather than just wearing black once and never doing anything else to help. Surely the James Franco mess has shown that just wearing the right colour / pin to an even means nothing.

Oh, come on.

My guess is that she was hamstrung by protocol, but the dark color and black ribbon show that her philosophy is with the movement.

If there are any white women hand-wringing and just overall frustrated about how to be an ally for minorities, particularly black people, look to Ellen Pompeo’s response to Slave master wife Laura Ingraham.

Millions elected Trump to be their coach,” Ingraham said. “So keep the political commentary to yourself, or, as someone once said, ‘shut up and dribble.’

Meh Arrested Development is far more popular now than it was during its original run in the earl-mid 2000's, where it only had a cult following. Netflix helped it grow a bunch by introducing people to the re-runs, and of of course by reviving it for seasons 4 & 5. I’d say AD is far more popular/relevant than it was

Ehhh RDJ’s shit has been open and aired for a LONG time now. And I thought SJP’s statement was actually pretty great for some people to hear. I’ve known addicts and have known people who loved addicts. The hardest lesson in the world is accepting that you alone cannot fix them. Sometimes you have to just walk away.

I am saddened by the Jennifer/ Justin break up because I know how she will be painted in the tabloids for the next few years (so lonely! so unlucky! so barren!)...however, Justin....hello.

No. I embrace fiction right now, and while TWW has some problems, the first 4 seasons are a delight of fabulous, overly-earnest dialogue and nuanced acting. Our current political climate is not nuanced, fabulous or delightful. And certainly not earnest, aside from its naked greed.

I watch the West Wing repeatedly (at least once or twice a year) to dream of what could (or should) have been.. Okay, I did watch the whole series 3 times last year, for obvious reasons. Pipe dreams and whatnot.

Would. Hard.

Wait, am I the only one watching The West Wing over and over pretending it is real life?
