Word of advice: making a joke does not mean everyone has to laugh. You're not entitled to laughter.

So what, you don't want any allies in positions of power?

First rule of having privilege. Do not complain about having privilege.

From what I've read it seems like the boys aren't doing worse, historically. They're just doing worse than the girls, currently, because the girls are doing much better, historically.

WHY THE FUCK IS HE HATIN BEYOND THE GRAVE?

Man, Doug, it seemed like it KILLED you to write this. I'm going to go ahead and assume you really don't like King's work, but admired what he says here? Either way, this was the most begrudging admission of respect for something that seemed pretty obviously worthy of it that I've seen in a while.

Btw, to all the…

Halfway through that labyrinth of an opening sentence, I knew it could only be Doug.

With all due respect, I couldn't disagree with you more. King wrote a story about a man self-destructing under the weight of his own demons and his family struggling to cope with it. Kubrick wrote a story about a haunted hotel. King's Jack collapsed under the weight of the Overlook's evil but ultimately redeemed…

I don't think the misogyny he's referring to is that Jack is abusive though. He means that the Wendy he wrote had more agency than the cowering movie-Wendy; Kubrick reduced an interesting woman into a helpless victim type.

What a verbose dipshit. Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a story about someone jerking off could be so masturbatory.

I, for one, am surprised that this very reasonable-sounding woman has a teenage daughter who is acting out against her.

You make some good points. There is definitely some terrible Islamophobia on that thread but on the other hand there's a lot of people who seem to say that people on the outside of a culture can never have an opinion on it. That's ridiculous. By that standard Americans had no business commenting on the Apartheid…

Pretty sure this was her training:

I never thought I'd agree with conservatives on anything until I read some of the batshit insane commentary on this thread. Strict and dogmatic adherence to political correctness really is the Achilles' heel of the entire progressive movement. So much so that we're willing to overlook child rape, sexual slavery, and…

Hmph. She's okay. If you like perfect skin and hair and nails and everything.

I am that tall and pretty much all of my dress shoes, sandals, and boots incorporate 3-4" stacked heels whenever possible. I fuckin' love looming. I like to play a little game with myself: "Am I the tallest person on this elevator? I AM! Am I the tallest person in this room? I AM! Am I the tallest person in…

She will kick your hand into a fist on a collision course with your face.

I'm glad they didn't go with the alternate scene where the wolf won't surrender and Henry had to snap his neck then cry for ten minutes.

No one in the history of ever has suggested even once that what a woman wore made a man lose his precious, delicate mind and made him do things that would be classified as asshole behaviour. You, sir, are a true genius to drill down to this treasure trove of intellectual discourse.
