Okay troll.

It kind of is, though. It’s keeping back his personal commentary and expressing that it’s good for victims of sexual assault to get justice, which I didn’t realize was up for debate. Expressing support for victims of sexual assault isn’t the same thing as unreserved support for “the movement.” No need for histrionics.…

Then what exactly happened to them that all you guys are crying about?

Do you seriously consider that article to be “shitting on” men for not speaking up? Are you serious? That’s the mildest “criticism” I’ve ever seen come out of Jezebel and you’re complaining? Men are so fucking fragile.

Because no one ever said that touching a knee was the same thing as raping somebody, and pretending that people do actually say that (on a large scale) completely diminishes the fight against sexual assault in all its forms, because now a woman will say she was sexually assaulted and people will just say “oh shit I…

Except everyone already discerns shades of gray and no one is put into “good” piles and “evil” piles, but I’m sure the MRAs certainly believe that we don’t.

Who is “we” and why do we need to do this and what makes you think “we” haven’t already?

“because no matter what you say, it’ll be used against you in the court of public opinion”

How is paying women more punishing men?

Really? Men have been burned at the stake for touching a woman’s knee? Please do tell!

“I think it’s great that women who face assault are getting justice, and this is a topic in which men should give space to those women to speak.”

Why do people keep mentioning this? Who was murdered for not talking at the Golden Globes?

Personally I’d rather get shit for doing the right thing (which would be shutting the fuck up).

To your first question, it’s because questioning every single case that comes up as “undetermined” or “ambiguous” is more effective than outright denying it, which would make you look like an obvious liar. When you call every situation ambiguous (like when a woman says she was assaulted you probably say “WHERE’S THE…

Sexism misogyny wage, or even wahe, gap isn’t outrage.

lol You don’t “have to” do that at all, but you do it because you have a vested interest in minimizing sexism against women as much as possible. Rather than taking into account years of history and studies showing patterns of this exact nature, you “have to” mark this as ambiguous. lol Yeah okay.

I know what she said, and I still stand by my comment.

Or if her agency failed to inform her that she could and should be paid more, or the institutional sexism that causes women to categorically feel less comfortable asking for money/raises than men.

lol Dang.

I remember it being covered as a prime example of sexism (which it was, let’s be clear), but I only read stories about it here no AVClub and Wahlberg didn’t seem to be the angle they were covering here.
