“It was not sexual in nature. It was about power and putting a woman in her place. I didn’t want to fuck her, I just wanted to destroy her soul a little bit.”

For real. Also, his claim that it “was not sexual in nature”... the fuck else do you think grabbing someone’s ass implies?

‘It happened 16 years ago...’, ah yes, the olden times when it was perfectly fine to grab your boss’s ass! Fuck, these guys just don’t get it.

It reminds me of old SNPP reviews from The Simpsons, where episodes that people now love, like Lemon of Troy and Bart vs Australia, were routinely derided as evidence that the show had gone off a cliff.

I can’t really speak to the quality of the last few seasons as I’ve always just kind of caught a few episodes of the show every couple years at random, but I have enjoyed following discussion of it ever since the Russell Davies era and it feels like the show has always been on the brink of disaster from an idiot…

I have an abiding love for Doctor Who...that doesn’t really manage to blind me to how inconsistent even its best eras are. Characters arcs are rushed and odd. Each new doctor reverts any character development of the previous one and picking an episode at random from any of the last decade and a half of show gives good…

> I did not realize they were cousins

Recently I had seen some of her small roles on The Jenny McCarthy Show, circa 1997. I did not realize they were cousins, mostly because my brain looked past the last names as I just associate Jenny McCarthy with 25 years of garbage. Anyway, it’s not one of those, “You can see the talent even now!!” because she barely…

“King of the Hill” is such a wonderful show, and the more I think about, has a lot in common with it’s co-creator Greg Daniel’s other show “Parks and Recreation”. Those two shows balance a somewhat more progressive quality but without bashing and instead, rather celebrating the quirkiness and weirdness of conservative…

I saw this a few years ago when it was posted on alt.black.helicopters.

Unrelated but worth talking about since you brought up Natalie Wynn’s video, It’s worth mentioning she’s been known to name search herself on Twitter and posts screenshots of their tweets criticizing her even if they already have. her blocked, didn’t @ her at all, and had like only a few hundred followers. In one…

No, JK Rowling’s position is not similar to what you describe above. She doesn’t just want to acknowledge the difference (I don’t think anyone denies that trans women have a different experience to people born female...), she want to deny trans women the right to move through the world as women. She also wants it to…

You’er missing that while, yes, trans women are trans women and cis women are cis women, both trans and cis women are women. TERFs like Rowling deny that trans women are women and want them excluded from spaces like restrooms, excluded from being treated as the women that they are. She does so by repeating dangerous…

Because ultimately their beliefs are couched in the same misogyny, and incels and MRAs benefit when feminists turn away from fighting for women’s rights and instead start fighting against trans rights.

But everything in her posture just screams “not for you! for me only!”.

Yeah, but that’s not really relevant here. In fact, if you hop on Twitter and go look at who’s following and liking posts by Terfs and anti-trans hate groups, you’ll find that they’re very popular among incels and MRA’s. Because ultimately their beliefs are couched in the same misogyny, and incels and MRAs benefit…

The first part wasn’t her saying everyone who menstruates is a woman, it was her saying that women menstruate.

This whole controversy started with a series of tweets wherein Rowling:

If you read the article JK wrote about all of this, it’ll explain her views pretty well. Suffice it to say that while it starts off with some fairly moderate disagreement with certain aspects of the trans - I dunno what to even say here, trans narrative? - it gets worse as it goes on, and by the end has become…
