Exactly. It diminishes women in that role—like when they do that job, it’s not as hard as a regular ceo. ETA: And god forbid a woman lead a company that sells women-centric products! DEFINITELY don’t take her seriously then! -blech-

Besides the obvious problems with her, which are eye-rolling and cringe-inducing, the phrase SHE-E-O makes me want to stab someone. Its this kind of bullshit, pat cutesy women on their head for having a ‘lifestyle brand’, that serves to keep women out of industry. Why be the CEO of a VC company when you can have a…
That dinner was specifically for the other nominees in his category, i.e. lead male actor in a musical or comedy. He says he took the idea directly from when Whoopi Goldberg did the same by taking out to dinner all of the nominees in her category, lead female actress, when she was nominated (this was a good while…
That August, sitting on a beach in Connecticut with her parents, she made up her mind. “ ‘Guys, I think I’m going to start a blog,’ ” she told them. “ ‘It’s going to be about women and putting them and their narrative and their story at the forefront and giving them a voice and a platform and just really encouraging…
Personally, I see Texas split a few ways. East Texas is most definitely the south, but central and west Texas are more southwest. The DFW area, although it is urban, sways towards to the south as well, and the tiny towns around the metroplex certainly act southern in mentality.
part of me is amazed how many “normals” have stories about james franco cuz the closest i’ve ever been to a famous person is sitting next to mallory from the real world on a plane.
East Texas along the LA border - definitely the south.
I know a lot of liberal men like this. They talk a good game, but they do not walk it. So many guys claiming to be “feminists” who are womanizers and who have done horrible things to women in their personal lives. The cognitive dissonance is unreal with these guys.
Is now the time for me to dig up those old emails I was forwarded where James Franco was very grossly hitting on a girl from my college after he visited for a student event?
I mean, Dallas and Austin maybe aren’t as “Texas” as Lubbock or Amarillo, but Texas is absolutely “the south.”
good on colbert for bringing it up. truly. it makes me so happy when i see men holding other men accountable.
I’m not surprised that Franco, both Afflecks, Damon, and any other guy who claims to be an ally but has done shitty things to women in the past are hypocrites. They take what they think is extreme behavior like Weinstein and think it’s the norm so therefore “lesser” actions like a butt grab or forcing oral sex on…

I grew up on his movies, and they have informed me as an artist, and I cannot change that fact now, but I can make different decisions moving forward.
Rogen is also happily married and made a very moving speech about Alzheimers disease to the congress. His wife’s mother has early onset Alzheimers. He just seems to be more of a mench than Franco and Apatow, he seems to have grown up, whereas they haven’t
I overall disagree on Rogen. He was pretty young when he started out in Apatow movies, and over the years I thought he seemed to be more and more interested in getting complex female characters on screen. It seems silly to discuss the feminist aspects of Neighbors 1 & 2, but I think I remember him talking about how he…
Even in the absence of these allegations, I genuinely loathe him along with his pals Seth Rogen, Jonah and Apatow. Their movies (especially when they collaborate) have always been unfunny misogynist trash. I can’t believe the sheer number of women who told me Knocked Up was feminist & Franco was an intellectual. Hoo…
No matter what she earns do you think she could fight a multimillion dollar lawsuit without needing to sell off some assets? I know if I was being sued, I’d sooner sell my home (you can always rent and buy again) than liquidate my retirement fund, for example.
