There are no fucking words after that, none. He’s finished, done. I’ve heard some attempted defences of people over the course of the post-Weinstein saga but never anything so extraordinarily disregarding of what actually happened as this with Tarantino wanting to be a pedant about the legal definition of rape all of…

interesting that he asks her husband for forgiveness. Did he ask Thurman or maybe I missed that part?

I had to read this sentence about ten times to figure out what the hell it was saying.

The most upsetting part of the interview for me is not what Weinstein or Tarantino did to Thurman, as disgusting as their respective behaviour was, but what Thurman says about the unnamed 36-year-old male actor who attacked her when she was still a 16-year-old model/aspiring actor.

Also, the reason people can’t imagine their 12 year old plotting a vicious murder with a co-conspirator is because most 12 year olds (virtually all, really) don’t fucking do that.

I watched the clip and it quite honestly brought tears to my eyes. His horror and rage and frustration was so damn raw. I just can’t even imagine how he feels.

I had the same reaction. Reading about it was one thing, seeing that video, you can just see and feel all those emotions.

1.) Is it bad that I was hoping that Dad was going to get some good licks in on Larry before anyone could intervene?

Take all the guns.

The email was before the allegations about Weinstein became public, so my guess is Affleck wanted to stay on Weinstein’s good side so he could continue to profit off of their relationship. Affleck is lying. He just had no idea all of this was about to publicly explode in his face.

Tangentially related to the rose story, but it’s so damaging when men, especially powerful men deem you as crazy and therefore you lose all credibility to a mass subset of people. It’s an incredibly effective way to discredit a victim. Also, who wouldn’t have some trauma from sexual assault.

If China and Bangladesh had stolen my family’s farm and bombed my cousin’s house, yea I’d probably be boycotting them too.

This is so the “why are you uppity feminists angry about locker room talk, where’s your outrage over how women are treated in Riyadh”.

If Israel deems itself a western-style democracy and deserving of our immense support, it has to do better. Can’t have it both ways.

Hmm, what would be the payout for emotional damages suffered by the children who witnessed and survived the most recent Gaza bombings? More or less than $13,000?

YES!!! My abuser was a relative who i had to sit across from at the dinner table every night and my parents to this day don’t believe me, because “you sat at the table w him for years and everything was fine!” To all the survivors reading this, the best thing that ever happened to me was going to group therapy. Wish…

For me it’s not about wanting her to be the perfect rape victim. It’s mkre that she was trying to shame people like Meryl Streep, who she didn’t even know if she knew about Weinstein, when she was openly defending Salva. You can’t rail that everyone is being complicit with regards to your rapist, based on a hunch…

Rose McGowan was on The View today and said one of the most powerful things about rape victims in the most powerful way I’ve heard it voiced “The only perfect rape victim is a dead one and that’s a fact.” One of the reasons no one believed me or gave a shit because I wasn’t “acting” like a rape victim “should” act.…
