There’s still quite a bit of internalised misogyny there though. For example Anne Hathaway came out earlier in the year saying she used to be more sceptical of female directors. And I would generally think she’s on the more progressive side of gender politics.

Yes. For other people intrusive thoughts are an absolute anomaly. They represent an alien view of the world; entirely perception-shifting.

This show is criminally underrated. It gets lumped in with a lot of the “shouting heads” shows, but it’s always incisive and it’s clear that Reali has a blast doing it.

You got to love the people in here trying to downplay blatant sexism by saying that her first movie was a flop. Guy Richie directed two huge flops in a row, Mam From Uncle and King Arthur and gets to direct Aladdin. Her film being a flop is not the issue.

I really like Tony Reali, and I hope it gets easier for him. Around the Horn was always my favorite show on ESPN, though my work schedule has kept me from watching it for a few years. It helps to put a face to an issue, particularly one you like. Honestly didn’t know this was a thing with guys. I’m basically just…

Look at our President!

All you have to do is look at Rian Johnson to see the disparity. He directs/writes a tiny breakout film that makes almost no money (Brick), then a total flop (Brothers Bloom), then a film that is a total mess but makes some decent returns in the international market (LooperI) and BOOM he is the director/writer of…

When I first saw Dirty Dancing, I was too young to even know what abortion was, so when Gerry (or Jerry?) Orbach said you cut up your girlfriend! I assumed Patrick Swayze had murdered and literally chopped up his girlfriend. I was a very literal minded child.

“Are you really willing just to go down a tier to a man who’s just kind of mediocre but can still do the job instead of reaching across and getting the talented woman?”

Which one?

Discipline + Compassion. I like it.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I’m speechless. I really thought this was only me. I read this whole article and now I know I’m not alone. I still haven’t told my wife about my bout with this. I’m passed it now and my son is almost 2 with another on the way.

I really hope he gets a more prominent roll on ESPN. He comes across as smart and a bit swarmy without being a total asshole.

I’ve been friends with this guy for about 2 years (it was one of those“our wives are friends so we are friends” type deals) and he asked me about my recent weight loss. I started to give him bullshit but then I just blurted out that I was on Zoloft for depression and anxiety and it killed my appetite. We ended up…

This is a terrific piece. I was slightly terrified for longer than I want to admit when I first became a dad. I am thankful to grow up in a generation that does not shy away from these issues - ignoring them only makes them worse.

Just want to say Tony’s one of my favourite people on television and I’m glad he’s doing well.

Thank you! Men are usually unwilling to admit it, but it happens. Especially the ‘invasive’ thoughts. I used to think it was just me who imagined the worst, but it’s not. There’s assurance I’m not crazy (at least not about this)

As a dad who faced a similar challenge with depression (was a full-time professional, grad student, housekeeper, and a complete hands-on dad that had a partner that could not/would fulfill her obligations), overcoming machismo was a large part of the work that had to be done.

Once I mentioned I was leaving my son’s…
