You hit another very important point that many men ignore, in this entire culture where sexism is very much NOT solved, namely men giving more credence to men they have never met than to the women they claim to love, etc. After my divorce, my ex persisted in badgering me for sex. When I declined, he said it wasn’t…

as per usual, they would rather let us die, then do something logical

Just as a friendly, safety-oriented aside, the Heimlich maneuver is now recommended for near-drowning victims because artificial respiration is ineffective unless the water has been evacuated from the respiratory tract. Weird but true! :

You wouldn’t have to be careful if you weren’t up to no good, men becoming Ned Flanders-like in their fluster, bewailing the Dawn of the Woman Unencumbered by Fear of Making a Scene, typing through self-righteous tears on their twit-twatter about “witch hunts” [sic] and “lynch mobs” [sic]. They see no contradiction in…

I thought it would be inherently implied that I meant the Heimlich maneuver being used in the case of a choking victim. Perhaps I was mistaken in assuming it was commonly well known among the general population of which is to be used in what situation.

Seriously? You’re not sure if you are “allowed” to flirt with women at the office party, so you cancel the party entirely? Why not have the party anyway, and just don’t flirt? You know, treat it like a work event where you can mingle and be social but still be professional and treat your colleagues respectfully? Save…

My least favorite has got to be this study about how men don’t give women life-saving CPR because they’re afraid to touch their chests?? Seems unlikely, but it was in The Guardian.

Why the hell Dan Schneider isn’t in prison for life is beyond me.

So, yeah, it’s probably true. Not cool, George.

I did a short internship at BBC Children once. Child protection laws in the UK say that each kid working on set must have a chaperon (can be up to 3 kids per chaperon I think), which legally can be their parent or a state-approved third party. The chaperon is in charge of making sure kids the right amount of breaks,…

This headline sucks, you guys.

This would be really fumny if it weren’t so goddamn sad.

Interesting thought. Well, there was Metrobius, actor and longtime lover of Sulla the Dictator in Republican Rome. But he seemed to escape bad press from writers of the time and since. Justinian’s wife Theodora on the other hand was vilified for being a child circus performer for centuries. She apparantly didn’t care…

Still looks like a Target ad.

He really is a fabulous singer. I go back and forth on him - is humor can be annoying and offensive, yet he comes across as charming in interviews - but the singing is great. And yes, “My Way” from “Sing” was outstanding.

Bless Britney Spears for remaining a delightful light of joy in these dark times.

My SO works in the industry, I asked him who, on set, would someone experiencing any form of harassment speak to in regards of documenting a complaint. He said probably the PA. Probably, screams to me that this isn’t communicated to them because the industry probably doesn’t want to hear complaints. I was surprised…

And Paquin was probably afraid of being outed too.

There is something so viscerally offensive about the phrase “flappy pussy”. Although, as it turns out, almost everything about men in Hollywood is proving to be viscerally offensive.
