Why do we need to keep old time views on courtship anyway? Old time courtship IS part of patriarchal culture. So why are we, and women in particular, so determined to keep it?

This is such an important comment.

There’s definitely a generational divide among women on this story.

Right.

Huh? She gave both obvious verbal and non-verbal cues.

Umm No. Men should learn/listen to non-verbal cues.

My takeaway? Old time views on courtship and pursuit cannot co-exist with modern feminism. Do away with “non-verbal cues.” Millennial women cannot harp on affirmative consent and then say “But I gave you non-verbal cues.” Can’t have it both ways.

I would say Ben Affleck scared them more than Damon. He made an innocuous “Assault and harassment are bad and we must band together to stop them” statement and people went through and dredged up an old interview of his where he had the female interviewer sit on his lap and she had to come out and say “Wait, this was…

I loved Three Billboards but it’s such a polarizing movie. It will be real interesting to see the reactions if it does as well at the Oscars.

Yeah, people seem to think I posted this in criticism of her. It was actually in criticism of the tweet pointing her out.

So, it didn’t take long for this hashtag activism stunt to devolve into this, did it?

I actually think Whitney Cummings is the showrunner behind it.

I loved the OG Roseanne but I can’t in good conscience support anything she does anymore.

Uh, you must not have been keeping up with either of them lately if you think Tom Arnold was the bad person in the couple.

It’s the progressive way. Do fuck all to get Democrats into office so they can actually affect change but still whine and complain and expect Democrats to save you with little to no power.
