I hate that “male feminist is a wolf in sheep’s clothing” has become such a stereotype, because how do we get male allies if we can’t trust men who try to be allies. But man...it was so hard during #MeToo to see these “confessions” from male feminists who I know to be abusive who were like, “When I was younger I…

100% the advice I give any guy who asks me how they can be an ally. Your fellow bros are the ones who need talking to, not women. Be an ally where we are unable to go; don’t perform allyship in front of other women.

That’s such a good point—by focusing on the most egregious examples, they deny responsibility for the more common everyday rapes, then go over salacious details again and again. I’m a researcher and have a colleague who just can’t get enough of the details of sex trafficking cases—to the point where I’ve organized the…

Yep. I’ve worked with NGOs and now am a journalist, and it never ceases to amaze me the lengths men will go to to deny rape exists outside of war or trafficking situations or that yours was not “that bad.” It’s why men always want all the details of a rape - so they can see how much of it may have been your fault…

What is that quote? “We don’t need men in feminist spaces, we need men to take male spaces and make them feminist.”

And, if my anecdata from college can be trusted, approach every self-proclaimed male feminist with a healthy dose of skepticism, as they have a nasty habit of mansplaining feminism to you and/or using it as a buzzword to try to wheedle you into casual sex with them. (Because if you were a good feminist, you’d be…

men can be feminists, but don’t trust a single fucking one who makes a living off feminism.

He really gives us Daniels a bad name...especially since my name is literally Daniel Masterson! seriously fuck that Scientologist asshole. 

Apparently he’s actually incredibly smart, like MENSA level. He’s made his fortune not through movies (I mean, he’s made a lot of money that way, but not the bulk), but through savvy investments in tech start ups and has given a bunch of young entrepreneurs their starts. I always thought he was a doofus, but…

Honestly, I feel it’s more like ‘weird atheist bros who worship rationality, laud Dawkins and are total dicks’. I personally call it the Cult of Rationality, whose main creed seems to be ‘Emotions are stupid, Logic is smart and I’m logical and not emotional, so I’m awesome!’

Even the smartest people can have real blind spots and dumb streaks. The whole ‘absent minded professor’ trope evolved from it, and when it comes to sexual assault I can see him truly wanting to “make a difference” while compartmentalizing what happens out in the world to those poor trafficked women and what his close…

I’ve never heard an accusation of criminal nature against him. I find his bro-pack and testosterone poisoned behavior gross, but he’s never done anything actionable that I know of.

Seems like he’s sort of an ass, but a consensual one. There was that Gawker story a bit ago about how Fred Armison  was a jerk, love ‘em and leave em, bad boyfriend, maybe suggested an abortion to a person (it was 1 anon on amessage board.) Anyhow, despite Fred being apparently a grand ass, and fucking admitting it…

“Although I’m sure he has noble intentions, Ashton strikes me as the type of person who thinks sexual predators all hang out in dark alleys wearing trenchcoats and ski masks.”

I don’t know. He seems like a pretty smart guy that wouldn’t believe something that dumb. I think he’s just blinded by a close friendship. Sometimes it’s hard to see someone you’re close to for what they are. Masterson’s crimes aren’t Kutcher’s fault. It’s kinda shitty to blame him. He seems like a good dude.

I think Mila Kunis is quite smart and probably refuses to let Masterson in the house.

Although I’m sure he has noble intentions, Ashton strikes me as the type of person who thinks sexual predators all hang out in dark alleys wearing trenchcoats and ski masks. He probably doesn’t know that a majority of sexual predators hide in plain sight and are almost always known to the victim.

And I am side eyeing Ashton Kutcher so hard right now. His entire philanthropy is stopping sex trafficking and he is still friends with dude in a cult with child slaves and rapists.

This Danny Masterson story has been around the interwebz for a while. I am very happy it’s finally getting the attention it deserves, interesting how he chose other Scientologists.... also FUCK YOU DANNY MASTERSON

I was waiting for the call for story submissions this year, and I totally missed it! By the time I posted my story, it was way waaaay in the grays after about 2000 other posts. Anyway, here it is again - creepy camping story! Loved the one from this year that got picked with the footprints in the snow. Eek!!:
