This. Very, very much this.

She says multiple times, emotional and sexual, multiple lies and blamed the actresses for being in awe of his status and aggressively sexual, basically casting himself as the victim of his subordinates.

She’s saying that he was so emotionally abusive that she has PTSD. Emotionally abusing one woman in order to facilitate having sex with other women who you employ and have significant power over... that’s not some one who actually believes in feminism.

I might be wrong but it sounds like Joss has cheated with some of the cast/crew. It’s also not that he just cheated one time, but he has cheated multiple times and then gaslighted his wife about it.

Also, he fired Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant after years of working for him.

That “thought process” is just fans angry that their idol isn’t what they built him up to be and the fact she had the gal to reveal the truth (Joss not fighting back confirms it for me).

I thin it depends on who you ask...there are a lot of people - a lot of women and feminists - who have argued for a while now that he isn’t as feminist as he likes to pretend to be, or as we may want him to be. But there are still those who will point to Buffy as if it set the standard for feminist TV shows. It didn’t.

Can I just ask was anyone really surprised that Whedon wasn’t the feminist hero he was turned into?

One of the gossip blogs I frequent is overwhelmingly against her because by speaking out she’s apparently abusing ‘the children’. That by speaking out about her abuse, she is at fault because she is airing their dirty laundry and that is abusive to the kids.

As someone who knows the absolute devastation and trauma being cheated on (by the last person you would think) I absolutely understand why Kai did what she did.

I see what you’re saying, but I stand by my point that people exhibited a huge overreaction about a movie remake, claiming that the new version would somehow taint the original(s), and thus have a childhood ruining effect. The Dirty Dancing remake has been in the works for a couple of years, and we didn’t see any of…

She’s got great curves, but my thought during the whole movie was who did she pissed off, because those costumes made her look so frumpy. The only thing that worked was the wrap dress at the end.

The reaction to this whole debacle just reinforces to me how misogynistic the backlash was against the Ghostbusters remake.

My mother loves the original movie so much that she would make me watch the final scene with her over and over with her as a kid, which gave me the eye-opening realization that my mom had the hots for someone other than dad, and that person was Patrick Swayze.

Those clips are excruciating. She’s can’t act this role, and he can’t act, period.

I can’t believe no comment on the ending. Johnny is a choreographer on Broadway. Baby is married to some other dude. I didn’t watch bit people on Facebook were upset. It does seem like a bananas choice.

The ending, that damn ending! and the freeze. I wanted to punch someone after that.

That dude was out acted by the log he danced on.

Just to put this in perspective, 7 year olds in Japan are expected to walk to school or the shops by themselves and even take the subway in Tokyo. This is extreme, but parenting norms are totally different from the U.S. and Europe or Canada.
