Did Trent Reznor have a garage sale? Since it sounds like she purchased his Year Zero synths.

None of what you just said addresses at all the seriously problematic nature of making a habit of trolling your employees for sex partners. It would be nearly as wrong if he were single than it is when he’s married. So this “we don’t know their relationship” and “it takes two to cheat” BS are just empty platitudes…

It seems too simplistic to reduce this down to just cheating given that it sounds like a good chunk of his cheating partners were actresses he hired for his projects. I doubt we’d be so quick to shrug this off if we were talking about a CEO who was constantly getting into physical or emotional affairs with his…

Is cheating wrong and douchey? Yes. Does it mean he’s not feminist? Come on, is that even a serious question?

Yikes. It’s not the cheating, it’s how he is BLAMING the women he cheats with for not being able to keep it in his pants. Like own your own choices, Whedon.

Why don’t you believe her? Do you think her story is implausible?

This reminds me of the old adage: “Democrats screw women over personally, Republicans screw women over politically.” Many an overall helpful male turns out to be a cheating bastard at home. If I have to choose, and it seems that the Al Frankens and the Bernie Sanders and the Bruce Springsteens are few and far…

“So you take her word as is? Not even a bit of skepticism?”

I’m kind of surprised that other people are surprised.

You know when you see a person and you just get an uncomfortable feeling about them? Like something is just off but after talking to them or (in this case) reading/watching interviews you can’t put your finger on it? That’s how I’ve always felt about Whedon. Glad to know I wasn’t wrong.

No but dating your employees when you have so much more power and wealth sure as shut means you are not. You can’t say you think women are your equals then turn around and abuse your power to bed them.

Not if you’re having repeated affairs with women you’re in a position of power over and using your wife as a shield against anyone looking too deeply into your fucked up behavior.

Not surprised by his infidelity despite calling himself a feminist.

That picture really looks like a girl and her dad on family vacation.

Thanks for the encouragement. I do it for you!

Well, you’re right that you shouldn’t, because a cult is not a religion. The only reason we call Scientology a religion is because that’s how they manage to not pay taxes on their obscene wealth.

One from the  Jerry-Netherland vaults:

Glad I wasn’t the only one. Had to reread it three times!

“I’ll never understand the sex appeal of a boozy cigarette-withered middle-aged man with a hairpiece fondly nicknamed a rat, not to knock Frank Sinatra.”
