Counterpoint: “look what you made me do” isn’t exactly empowering and indicative of a woman who owns her shit. It’s already been compared to the words an abuser says as they abuse someone, but it’s also akin to things children say when they’re unwilling to take ownership of their own behavior.

So you still just don’t see a problem with the abuse of power. K.

I mean... wow. Just...

Uhhh, WOW, you are kind of nuts.

I sound like a GamerGater because I think a man should face repercussions for abusing his power over the women in his employ, and the wife he gaslit for 15 years? Huh. That’s... interesting.

For YOU, it doesn’t rise beyond that level, because as you’ve pointed out, you’re cynical enough to believe that no one is a decent person. I’m sorry that you’re that dead inside, but... that doesn’t mean that other people’s reactions are outsized and deserving of scorn.

How about the part where he picked his mistresses from the pool of actresses that he was employing? Do you give a fuck about the abuse of power there? How about the part where he lied to his wife for 15 years about his relationships with his employees that were giving her pause, telling her not to trust her gut…

Well, let’s actually add some more detail to your barely fleshed out hypothetical, since you left out the actual problems with what Whedon did. If the gay man you’re using as an example was a man who touted his social justice bona fides as proof of his good character, and he worked with, let’s say, a lot of young…

“perhaps they hoped it would further their career. Does this make them “ bad feminists” as well?”

Wow, that is beyond fucked up. Dude cheats on his wife for 14 years with numerous women, lies to her (and presumably fucks her without protection, thereby exposing her to god knows what kind of health risks from his secret trysts), fucks up his wife’s life and his kid’s lives... and then she stands up for herself in…

So here’s a problem I’m having right now... a Facebook friend is having an argument with some dear friend of hers about this very issue. Her friend is flat-out saying this shit, comparing anti-racist protesters to ISIS (he uses the term Daesh because he’s that kind of guy)... and he’s a black guy. And I desperately…

What a beautiful doggo! If I had the time and patience for a doggo, I’d love a husky... we had a malamute that belonged to my stepdad, she was the sweetest beast I’ve ever met.

I’m honestly not sure this should be categorized as “outing”, as these men voluntarily and proudly went out in public with uncovered faces to a white supremacist rally that they knew would draw many people with cameras that would photograph them. They weren’t hiding in their basements posting to secret internet…

Ooh, yes, let’s enable serial rapists to accumulate even more victims and never see punishment, this is an excellent political tool! But there’s no GOP war on women, no sir, not at all...

To prove that this private business owner is wrong to exclude cops from the premises, perhaps due to the overall LEO population’s propensity for violence, a cop rolls up to... challenge the owner to fisticuffs. Wow.

Delicious word salad!

Oh, honey, bless your heart, please try a little harder to understand: you are using the dimly remembered reactions of a daytime TV audience to a tiny handful of trans individuals willing to go on a trashy TV show, and your own reaction to this dramatically charged and not at all realistic scenario, as a reliable…

Hoooooooooooooooooteppppppppppppppppppp

Honey, bless your heart for not realizing that daytime TV trash isn’t exactly a reliable source for trans information.

<I>I mean, a trans woman is a woman—she’s woman enough for this hypothetical hypersensitive violent male to be attracted to her in the first place.</I>
