I can’t tell whether this is a sarcastic, satirical comment. It seems like a silly thing to thing, but I’ve also seen such wild shit sincerely put forward among the Jez commentariat, that I’m just going to assume it’s for-real and respond accordingly.

Some women do enjoy sex with men quite a bit, while others do not. You can’t make a sweeping judgement on all women based on the very small sampling of things you have read.

Why?

Maybe this is just me, but I would not be eager to make the rounds on national TV demanding that I be allowed to finish 4th instead of 6th. 

It’s a good musical with great music. 

The most impressive part to me is that villager they made looks exactly like Phillipa Soo

Is it still okay to like Hamilton, or is the backlash fully entrenched? I still really like Hamilton. Either way, this is very cool! Seeing things like this makes me want to play Animal Crossing, before I realize I have not a tenth of the talent required to be this cool.

Favorite attention to detail I saw-

while the fastest overhand pitch ever thrown by a woman in real life was actually clocked at 69 mph.

“But come on. Do you know what would happen if we locked up every guy who made love to a sixteen-year-old?”

My read (and honestly why I enjoy it) was always that you know he’s a creep from the jump, but the book is well written enough that, from time to time, you find yourself believing his little hero’s tale before you snap out of it and are like uggggghhh wtf man. But in my opinion it’s sort of peak into a sick psyche, so…

Yeah, it’s not like Woody Allen could make his own movie to defend himself.

Minor (but not so minor) quibble: the character name is not Delores but Dolores, literally Spanish for pains.

We aren’t going to convict him. We aren’t even going to move the needle of public opinion. We’re blog readers, commenting. Your argument is, essentially, meaningless.

He’s been presenting his side of the story, over and over again, for almost 30 years, through his publicists and his friends and supporters in the media. (One example: that cover story in New York Magazine a couple of years ago.) It’s absurd to complain at this point that the documentary is one-sided against him. Even…

There is a lot of evidence that rich famous powerful men like Woody have great ability to manipulate the American legal system and their coverage in the press to their own benefit. He is also a rich intellectual white man accused of sexual misconduct, which is a very relatable sympathetic figure for plenty of wealthy…

He helps justify their fantasies.

This. The guy has SHOWN who he is. Ending up with a child you met when she was twelve is the creepiest goddamn thing in the world, and only a creepy creepy creep would be capable of it. That’s even leaving out the fact that he was supposed to be her goddamned father. If someone shows you who they are, believe it.

I don’t understand how anyone could believe Allen after the business with his stepdaughter.

I have NEVER understood why he is lauded as some genius auteur. I, since I was a child found him repulsive and scary. I couldn’t understand why it was believable that beautiful, very young women would date him in his movies, and why anyone thought that was a story that made sense. In my opinion, the reason why several…
