Violence in sports has never increased the likelihood of wars between countries. Quite the opposite. Google ‘panem et circenses’.

Sorry, did the OP article have anything to say about McGowan Allen? No? Then why are you bringing her did the OP bring him up?

We’ve been doing this for a long time. So, I don’t worry about the longevity of the human race as much as you do.

Soon-Yi was never Allen’s daughter, adopted or biological and she was 21 when the affair came to light. Sketchy, but in no way comparable to a sex crime of any sorts.

theroot is jezebel in disguise? Had no idea!

This was a post about Winslet and Weinstein, you made a comment about Winslet and Allen. You changed the topic and now you’re complaining about me following suit? Brushing the Salva/McGowan vs Winslet/Allen comparison off by not even acknowledging it, IS being flippant about sexual abuse against boys. You won’t bring…

Are you a hypocrite?

Anyone being flippant about the rape of a 12 yo boy (as stated by a court of law), yet can’t stop yapping about a decades old accusation by a vengeful family who’s been in a feud with Allen for decades raises the suspicion whether they might have a bias against male victims of sexual abuse.

No, not Allen is off the hook, but apparently McGowan is and I wonder why Winslet is the worst for working with Allen while McGowan would be awarded the Nobel peace prize if jezebel and its commenters had any say in it. Why is it ok and not worth mentioning for her to work with a convicted child molester and publicly…

It has everything to do with your criticism of Winslet. You excoriate her for working with Allen even though the accusations against him are more than dubious, coming from a vengeful ex wife and her then 8 yo daughter, while Salva is a convicted child molester. Every single time McGowan is touted as a role model, you…

You mean Woody Allen is worse than Victor Salva? Guess who had no problem working with this gem of a human being? Does she have to turn in her woman card as well?

How do you accidentally shoplift a shirt? Did you enter Walmart half naked, then put the shirt on and forgot about it?

That ‘consensus rate’ of false accusations is without any scientifc merit. It is basically a long perpetuated myth.

It’s hard to tell when Jax is exaggerating events

Yeah, that’s a classic - feminists and the ‘funny’ side of domestic abuse.

Let me get back to ‘Jackie’ from UVA, or the accuser of the Duke Lacrosse team, Conor Oberst’s accuser, Patrick Kane’s accuser, or the Central Park Five’s accuser just to verify the notion of this ‘good-ass tweet’, that there is no reason for any woman to ever lie about sexual assault.

Isn’t she supposed to testify anyway, when/if his defamation lawsuit makes it into court, since pleading the Fifth would make her look guilty(ish) in a defamation case imo?

I don’t have a cell

A dark and ominous voice:

Judging from the gist of the comments so far: male rape jokes seem to be the only acceptable rape jokes.
