The thing is, even if he was nice to them back then, people change. Very few people are the same as they were in school as they are as adults. My brother was a sexist dick at school and now is a doting husband and father, mortified by his behavior back then. One of the nicest boys in school grew up to be arrested for c…

Yeah I’m super confused by that. Where did all these women come from? Have their identities been fact-checked?

He went to an all boys school which means the women who signed the letter wouldn’t have had close daily contact with him.

I had to read some of John Hockenberry’s work years ago when I was in college. While reading his book, I was struck by how deeply unpleasant Hockenberry often seemed, as well as his tendency to judge others while decrying that he himself was also judged unfairly. A couple of the other women in the class, as well as…

I made myself finish John Hockenberry’s disgusting article. I am stupefied by his breathtaking cruelty toward his accusers, his galactic self-absorption, his disingenuous reading of #MeToo⁠ ⁠, and his terrible writing (if he was paid for this piece, that's highway robbery). Harper’s should hide with embarrassment, and…

From the terrific essay “Why I Stopped Watching Woody Allen Movies,” by Olivia Colette (bolding mine) :

Fuck you, you fucking fuck and the fucking horse you rode in on.

Jian Ghomeshi is a fucking creep and he should have been actually punished and never allowed to speak again let alone have “redemption”.

Yeah, the whole “awkward courtship. excuse,” is ridiculous if you're over the age of 20. These men are over 30 so they know what acceptable behavior is, they just blatantly chose to ignore it

Jian Ghomeshi punched a woman he was on first date with a closed fist in the head, over and over again.

I feel like all these dudes are running around yelling “My penis! My penis! But what about my penis???”

“One of my female friends quips that I should get some kind of public recognition as a #MeToo pioneer. There are lots of guys more hated than me now. But I was the guy everyone hated first.”

I also really dislike their “well she didn’t say NOT to print her name” as a reason for outing her. I know they are not legally obligated to get her permission but an ounce of common sense dictates you would cover your ass and at the very least say “we are going to print your confirmation with your name” and leave the…

She can’t even stand up for herself without race and gender being brought up. She has had to deal with this her entire career. The world wants her to be this sweet little mouse (like they want all women to be). But she’s an unapologetic, vocal, tough athlete who won’t take your s**t. I can’t tell you how much I’m…

You are doing god’s work. There is a woman on twitter that compiled a thread of all the times this was not done to men and the amount of white men in her mentions insulting her is astounding. I don’t think a lot of white men are ever going to accept the truth. Their commitment to their misogynoir is to integral to…

The Herald Sun newspaper in Australia. The cartoonist is Mark Knight.

I’ve seen this thrown around a lot in the last couple of days, and it’s really not true. Novak Djokovic at Wimbeldon earlier this year, Rafael Nadal at the French Open last year, and Nick Kyrgios at the French Open in 2016 all had similar or more aggressive reactions to Ramos’ calls and received no penalties. Kyrgios…

You sure crammed a lot of nonsense into one post!

What the fuck are you talking about?  She wasn’t complaining about an in-game call. She was complaining that the official, in a fucking Grand Slam final, made poor judgment after poor judgment that literally led to her losing a point and a crucial game...not because she legitimately lost either but because the shit…

What has been most striking to me about this event are the teeming hordes who gleefully applaud the coaching violation as correct and are blind to the problem of selective enforcement.
