Rich men do not generally hire hookers to do things that women are willing to do for free, especially rich men who could have large numbers of women who would be willing and ready to go.

Yea, definitely. I think I see where you’re coming from, although I’m not sure I agree. I mean, I’m not planning on boycotting the movie, because I wasn’t planning on watching it (not a fan of white-targeting slavery porn movies), but at the end of the day, it’s pretty safe to assume that someone in a decision-making…

So, if someone says “I want to see this movie but I don’t want the director to get money” do you still have a problem with that? I’m just wondering where you draw the line? You said you’re gonna see the movie, does that mean you don’t believe the accusations? What’s your reasoning for that? Genuine questions, in case…

Do you not see how someone could argue that this specific movie, about an underrepresented and underexamined part of American history, could have value despite its maker?

So, you’re arguing that in our capitalist world, transfer of capital is meaningless compared to intake of knowledge? Ok.

Clearly, she should stop attacking Hillary, and none of this is Hillary’s fault. She sounds like a crazy woman. I have no sympathy for the people using her right now.

re point 3: this is an old fucking lady who was clearly traumatized by something that happened, she seems fucking dumb, why does it matter to you whether she considers this rape or if she lied under oath or whatever she fucking did

Dude, it’s insane to even imagine. I have family members that were alive in Puerto Rico when they didn’t get US citizenship, and to think about these people who are essentially you, or who created you, and knowing that they had no rights or recourse under the law—obviously, very different from slavery, but many of us…

A-fucking-MEN. I live in NYC, where, if I see someone with a gun, I know to be on guard and contact the authorities. I went to visit relatives in an open carry state, and I was constantly double checking and on guard trying to figure out if that dude walking in with a rifle on his back is coming into the restaurant to…

Am I a giant pussy because like...if I saw a shit ton of people running and yelling at the airport, I wouldn’t wait around to independently verify the presence of a real threat, I would gtfo.

Man, I’m not interested in being the sjw you rant at, please keep your comments contained to things I actually spoke about. Do you not believe that anyone ever states under oath something that isn’t true? Do you not see how rape victims could be unwilling to testify under oath? Do you not see how we can give some…

No? Now, if I said “you probably think 14 year old girls deserve to be raped!!!” then that would be a strawman, but I’m genuinely interested—I want to hear your reasoning, and find out where your line is—if 14 year olds aren’t responsible for where they live, I want to know when people start to be responsible in that…

I 100% agree with that, I just get worried when people start talking about slaves as if they were not adult humans with needs and desires just like ours (even if they were cruelly and inhumanely denied freedom

Maybe other people draw different distinctions than you do? Possibility?

Why are you assuming the victim is a white woman? Why do you think not holding rapists accountable will help innocent black men?

Is there a way to acknowledge all that while also allowing slaves, in our cultural narrative, the sexual drive and agency of all adults?

I mean...I’ve never been accused of rape. People never had to wonder if I intimidated a witness into not testifying because I never did that. Where does the final word “court” lie—how do you feel about men who were proved to be innocent by DNA evidence, but whose appeals were blocked? Hope this doesn’t come off…

How so? I’m being honest, please explain how it’s a strawman.

Is there a reason you won’t answer the question? I’m not “trying to be clever” (I wouldn’t be in the comment section on jezebel dot fucking com if I wanted to talk to smart people, lol), I’m genuinely curious

So a 14 year old who has to live in a bad scary neighborhood is responsible if she gets raped on the way to school?
