That show has devolved into torture porn focused on WOC over the last two seasons. It’s gross.

That weird feeling when you appreciate Tarantino for being astonishingly frank about his culpability with Weinstein, but at the same time you still have to be mad at him cause, dude, what the fuck, stop working with a serial rapist that used his power to create a hospitable environment for sexual assault.

I’m not surprised. I’ve had male friends and exes who just kinda shrugged when I spoke about sexual assault and harassment I’ve experienced. They file it away, under “things I can’t do anything about,” or “this makes me uncomfortable.”

He said that he wrote it off as Harry being a stereotypical womanizer. I think the term he used was he saw the behavior as more of “the boss chasing the secretary around the desk,” than assault, and he now realizes how sick that was. But I am not interested in raking him over the coals on this. I think this is a…

I have some respect for people who admit they screwed up. It doesn’t change what they did - but I appreciate it a lot more than when people try to justify their prior bad acts.

How could I know a casting couch and this shit existed and Meryl Streep didn’t. Please, Meryl. I love ya, but please.

“I chalked it up to a ’50s-’60s era image of a boss chasing a secretary around the desk,” he said. “As if that’s O.K. That’s the egg on my face right now.”

Yeeeahhhhh. John Kelly and I were born the same year. We’re both 67. I don’t ever remember women being “sacred.” I do, however, remember being catcalled, harassed, fondled, called names, threatened, and paid less than the men I worked with. He and I are obviously remembering things differently. Gee, wonder why?

It feels horribly high school cliche to compare things to 1984 but. man, it does feel very ‘ministry of truth’ at every press conference.

“Sacred” is code for not fully human. The same kind of arguments the Victorians made about women which kept us from voting, working outside the home in professional careers (other than poor women who could work for a pittance of what men made), or even having any control over our own bodies. Women were too “precious”…

And not for nothing, but an era where women lacked reproductive, social, and economic agency due solely to the actions of men was in no way holding women “sacred”. It was owning them.

I’m grayed b/c I’ve only recently started commenting, so you won’t see my comment....but JFC. The infantilization is getting old.

Either that was an underhanded dig at Trump’s war with the Khan family after the DNC, or Kelly has a dangerous lack of self-awareness.

I don’t want to be sacred. I want men to keep their hands, and their laws, off my pussy. You think you’re helping, Kelly, but you’re not.

John Kelly would have been “a kid growing up” in the 50s and 60s. I know the old folks all tend to be a little selective in recalling the good ol’ days, but holy fucking mother of fuck, people. If a man of his supposed intelligence really believes the 19fucking50s were the glory days for women being “looked upon with…

Kelly also had the audacity to say that respect for Gold Star families went out the window at the conventions last summer. I’m hoping he’s referring to having Patricia Smith speak at the convention and call Hillary Clinton a murderer.

I distinctly remember somebody saying shit about a Gold Star family, but who?

Gold Star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer.

David Cross needs to stop. He’s actually a brilliant comedian, but also a complete asshole. How hard would it have been to say, ”Charlene, I don’t remember saying racist things to you, but I know it’s possible. Often, I am an asshole. I appreciate your letting me know how remarks I think of as off-hand can really…

What in the world is Lindsay trying to say? We all make our own choices? Let us not blame anyone? What? That sounds pretty victim-blame-y to me. Is her point that no one stood up for her so she’s not going to stand up for anyone? Did she delete that part because she herself couldn’t figure out what it meant?
