For me, and I was really heated about this last night and am a bit more in perspective this morning, isn’t the initial quip. Honestly, I can see myself saying something like that if it was the first thing that came to mind. It’s not great, it’s something I’m working on, but that’s being human.

I haven’t seen those interviews, and if he is doing that, great.
I was kinda drunk the first time I tried to watch it. I need to try again sober b/c I was totally, WTF and didn’t quite finish it.
Somebody needs a better PR agent.
What’s stupid is there was a way to save the interview even after Renner made his quip. All one of them had to say was, “I’m sorry. That was inappropriate. Her character can date whomever she wants.” It was the continued riffing that pissed me off. Because they have no concept it was inappropriate to go on like they…
Just so grateful I don’t teach anymore. My students were always pretty chill, but I wouldn’t want to catch THE one on a bad day.
They went with banning a common form of abortion instead. But I’m sure evolution will get back on the list soon.
Kansas allows guns on campus now. The schools appear to be exempt at the moment but the legislators thought students were safer allowing students to carry on campus. My state is stupid.
One more thing, and then I’m done. For now anyway. I think the amount of alcohol consumed on this press junket must have reached extraordinary levels, b/c I have no doubt that both of the guys were drunk for this. Evans has been obviously wasted on the entire junket. It is not a good look.
So many other answers. And I think what bothers me more is that the default for both of them was, “slut.” That says a lot about THEM as people — women who sleep with more than one man are sluts — that is what they believe as humans. And they’re not getting that THAT is why women are upset. It’s disappointing that yet…
What I love too, is both of those guys are all about their families. “My daughter is the most important thing in the world” and “I’m so close to my mom and my sisters are the best.” Well. Then. Stop using language that is so fucking demeaning to women. Full stop.
And of course after we have this conversation this morning Jeremy Renner decides to be not funny and not adorable and just a jerk instead. Ugh. Insert Angry Tyra Banks gif here.
My cats would ask, “Where’s the food?” “Why can’t I chew on your work papers/ tax documents/ etc.?” and “What did we do to deserve an owner like YOU?”
Or it is an Academy Award-worthy troll performance.
Just saw that. !!!
Someone else posted a link. Apparently she was arrested and her child taken into custody after she was found with two large guns 10 miles from the prison where her boyfriend / child’s father was being held after being convicted of a crime. Conversations found between the two made it appear to law enforcement that they…
I go for the undersell instead of the overstatement. :-)
