The jobs he has sound like bullshit to me. The title is misleading. He’s not struggling at all.

The reason they made up and gave these jobs to him is because they knew places like Jezebel would write about it. If you don’t want famous people to get paid for made-up jobs, don’t validate the jobs by writing about it.  He’s not a public person anymore-you can just ignore him.

Shazam was actually pretty good and is one of the only recent DCEU movies I’d saw was 100% worth watching.  I’m glad it’s getting a sequel since the box office returns on it weren’t great.  

I never liked Lena Dunham, before her overt racism became obvious her narcissism and privilege turned me off. She’s horrible. I think decent human being should sever ties with her. She throws herself into the middle of social issues, pretending to be an ally, when in fact she does it for attention only. That’s clear

Very true.

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after

JFC I HELD MY BREATH THROUGH THAT ENTIRE CLIP

Phrasing matters, and the way you phrase it minimizes it. You can say “miming a boob honk,” but what he is doing is miming groping a sleeping woman. He has used a sleeping woman as a sexual prop for a photograph, without her consent, for his own amusement.

Um, he got away with it for years. For decades this kind of thing, even with photos was okay. Women getting upset at a “joke” were “humorless bitches”. Why wouldn’t he be okay with getting photographed doing it? Even know lots of people are defending him, saying “It’s just one women” “It was a joke” “It looks like he

So you’re okay with perpetuating a culture where the needs of the abuser are prioritized over the needs of the victim? Because that’s what you’re doing, you can try to disguise it as a need to be practical and think of the greater good, but that’s literally how a lot of terrible people have been able to get away with

To me actually the photo *is* that bad. The idea of a man doing this to me in my sleep with the apparent participation of other people, as a joke? To find it later on a cd presumably many people received? To see his grinning face? It’s horrifying.

You say that it’s not as bad as Weiner or CK but one could argue that neither of those guys touched their victims. Franken shoved his tongue down her throat in what was a very unconsensual manner. That’s an assault too.

By your logic if you are fully clothed and I grab your chest I’m not “technically” touching your breast because you have a shirt and presumably a bra on. My hand never contacted your breast! There is 2 layers of clothing between your breast and my hand. I was just touching your shirt. It was a joke!

Trumpkin? Not even close. My point is, let’s not be hypocrites because “he’s our guy, so it’s different”. Oh and it’s different because she’s a playboy model? Like, she had it coming?

Groping. Is. Sexual. Assualt. Is it as bad as rape? No - the same way getting stabbed in the hand isn’t as bad as being stabbed in the jugular. It is still wrong and we’re fucking done putting up with it.

No, no we cannot. Because that doesn’t fucking matter. If we knew that one of the Moore accusers voted for Clinton and worked at the NYT and had a photo with Obama we sure as shit wouldn’t think that was a good reason to discount what she had to say. Fucking bullshit like this is the real test of whether or not you

Thank you for your counterpoints. I appreciate the discussion.

And in my OP I say, “We want everybody held accountable for what they did, full stop.” The problem is, no one had to say, AL FRANKEN, JUST AS BAD AS ROY MOORE AND LOUIS CK before a load of people popped up to say, “Let’s remember that this is not as bad as what other men have done!” or censure her for using the #metoo

He’s grabbing her breasts while she’s sleeping. That’s more than just childish.
