Okay, so I’m going to use my “Asshole?” card for the week here.

I think part of the issue is that BC pills are overprescribed to people who might be better off exploring other options. I remember back in the 90s doctors pushing hormonal BC for everything from dysmenorrhea to weight loss(!), even when the harsh side effects clearly outweighed the benefits. I stayed on BC pills in…

The author is saying it was TERF-y not to discuss trans men and nonbinary people who can give birth. But...they did? And it sounds like they focused on cis women because those are 1) the documentary subjects they had access to, and 2) the vast majority of people impacted by BC access. I guess they could’ve gone…

Dude, it’s about transmen...As in bio-women who could still menstruate....People who show up at the OB/GYN with a full beard. People who can and are denied gyno care.

Why is this a video?

As I said, he wasn’t the bad guy for the initial theft. He was the bad guy for publicizing a video that had 2 people in it, including one innocent party who wasn’t at fault for not paying him.

Lee stiffing the contractor and then threatening him with a gun was a big part of the first episode. I don’t know if it’s accurate to what happened in this case, but it’s plausible and those situations do happen. If you didn’t know where the story was going, the carpenter would be sympathetic in the first episode. The…

I won’t be watching this so I don’t actually know what the angle on this show is, but I did look further into the contractor situation. If anything we should be talking about how Lee didn’t pay the guy, then pointed a shotgun at him when he came back to get his tools. And then Lee had sent Hells Angels after him.

The people responsible for the makeup and styling on this should get a MacArthur genius grant.

If this is like basically every other digital scare, people's bad behavior in the digital world doesn't translate to behavior in the real world. Violent games don't cause school shootings, GTA doesn't cause bad driving, etc.

New rule, how about we stop using the word “abuse” in terms of people interacting with software programs? At best, it’s idiotic, and creepy misplaced anthropomorphism, at worst, it’s actively offensive to actual humans who’ve been actually abused by other actual humans. You can’t abuse, or sexually harass, a chatbot…

Soooo….what’s your plan? Have White House interns hand deliver tests to people? Get the Army Corps employees to start manufacturing tests in-house? Arrest and force vaccinate the people who refuse to get the shot or forcibly remove them to remote locations?

There is a Certain Type of Man who preys on young women, and it’s not really about intellect, it’s about power dynamics. Women that age can be extremely smart but are often still unsure of themselves and more likely to be influenced by older men who make them feel special. Especially men who have power or influence…

My man, if it was Eliza, at the time Buffy started, he was in his mid-30s and the boss of a network show and she wasn’t even 18 yet. I promise you, you can blame him! 

It’s really telling that it seems like a lot, if not all, of his post divorce relationships were with women in their early twenties.  I don’t mean this is some kind of pedo way. Just, if you’re in your 50s and all of your relationships are with 23 year olds, you’re definitely not looking for an intellectual equal.

When the discussion is about misogynist power dynamics and your contribution is essentially “Eliza is hot,” maybe best to just not contribute.

spoken like a man who’s never had one ounce of sex.

we should also ask ourselves, “If I were in the same position, would I be able to say no to her?”

The more time passes the more I resent the corrosive impact of Whedon’s “strong female characters,” who were often drowned in layers of misogynist writing but copied over and over by other shows or films because they had sassy one-liners and butt-kicking montages. The sickness of his quote about how he felt he had no…

I understand why people are tired of this story, but I have to admit I can’t help being curious.
