yeah, some guy who accuses two women of bullying is totally a MRA troll. Nice to know you don’t take male victims of bullying or harassment seriously unless they have excellent credentials. Got it.

So when I first read the name “Kevin Bleyer” I thought “oh good, some white dude is accusing women of bullying. I bet he NEVER is on the MRA subreddit.”

I am so confused by this entire argument. Aren’t social media posts, selfies, and other visibility-increasing things GOOD for a grass-roots movement? Wouldn’t you want protesters to post supportive messages, selfies, and other info about the protest on social media in order to encourage others to join? Or to act as a…

Nah. It’s a waste of time trying to get people to stop being attention whores on social media. They’re not a real problem since the whole point of marches is to get as many people there as possible. I don’t give a shit if most of the people there aren’t true activists “doing the work”.

Look, I don’t do selfies, and I regularly mock selfie takers, and I’ve taken funny pictures of people I don’t know taking selfies in absurd situations, so I get it. I do. But at the same time, I also think getting hung up on women taking selfies at the march is fucking ridiculous. I want the selfie idiots to come to…

Why have a march at all then?

She’s not criticizing Faye Dunaway, for crying out loud! She’s doing the opposite, saying that Dunaway was massively undervalued and that she should have been making huge amounts of money from her critically and commercially successful ventures.

“ Let Pompeo revisit this subject when SHE’s 75.”

Are you trying to miss the point?

I have not always been a fan of Ellen Pompeo’s but I find this article refreshing. I like that she’s being blunt, open and honest about her experiences and I’m glad to see someone actually doing something, anything to move the conversation forward. I like her explaining some of the dynamics on the set and how she…

You need to take a seat. The culture of “classy” is nothing more than a scam to silence women. Good for Ellen Pompeo for talking about income disparities.

I agree with this. And I feel like folks missing the point are trying to stir things up and focus on women fighting other women rather than women empowering and supporting other women.

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

And adding onto that, men are taught to always, always, always push and ignore your boundaries! Also, not only are we not taught how to set boundaries, we’re actually actively socialized to be accommodating and polite, which directly contradicts the ability to do so.

Every time she expressed hesitation or said she wasn’t comfortable with something, he stopped. She doesn’t try to leave until the end and he doesn’t stop her. Instead he calls her an Uber. Also, she’s a grown adult too and doesn’t seem like she was forced into anything. Being inconsiderate is not the same thing as…

The last thing this movement needs is women second guessing a date gone bad and framing it as sexual assault. I’d honestly rather the story be true than open up the possibility of people jumping onto the bandwagon the moment they have regrets about a one night stand. Not saying that’s what she’s doing, but I certainly…

There some parts to the story that show these two people were on two completely different wavelengths and had a lot of misunderstandings. At one point, she sits on the floor in front of him and says she wanted him to play with her hair. She says he thought she wanted to reciprocate oral sex after he already performed…

I agree. I don’t feel like he sexually assaulted her and don’t feel like this should be included in the same realm as “me too.” I think he was very wrong and acted like an asshole, but she was always free to go. He didn’t force anything on her. This reminds me of the type of stuff they tell you in high school (“If a…
