Yeah, I simply didn’t believe the allegations for the longest time either. You had child psychologists and police investigators all saying Mia was lying. You had a verbal record of Mia threatening to ruin Woody’s life. You had that crazy-ass valentine she sent him with the swords stuck through it. You had evidence of…

I have done a considerable amount of research on Pick Up Artists and the techniques they use. Everything about this story ticked the boxes of a Pick Up Artist “Escalation”.

Why do groupies deserve to get treated a particular way?

No. This is a dangerous statement.

Do you know who does stuff like this? Who ignores communication from their partner, going ahead with whatever they want to do sexually, while always making sure to stay on the legal side of things? PREDATORS. It is not the men who care deeply about making sure their partners want to be there and are comfortable but…

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…

All props to Dylan Farrow and her courageousness, determination and steadfastness for getting this started with her LA Times op-ed in December and in her statement last week asking for the people supporting MeToo and Time’sUp to take personal accountability of their choices to work with Allen (neither of which were …

That was my point when I posted my comments to the AVClub article and you would think suggesting that “affirmative consent” be embraced as a solution to prevent such a situation. Not to mention to prevent being accused of coercing sex. In other words, it protects everyone. But not to those commenters who spent the…

“Yes, I hate that apparently we’re meant to fall silent if the situation described isn’t a clear rape.”

Yeah, I’m waiting for a post on it from Jez. Also I just read an Atlantic article called “The Humiliation of Aziz Ansari and its...its a real doozy. Hoping to hear from Jez about it.

Well it hit over the weekend for one thing, and for another avclub covered the basics pretty well. So they’re probably either digging deeper or coming up with a thinkpiece on how it fits into broader issues.

Nothing about Aziz all day?

You know, on one hand, I’m thrilled that there is some punishment for these slimy little fucks. But I can’t help but also be enraged that this happens all the time to us little normal people and no one seems to give a fuck.

You were lucky to have a room. In Yorkshire we just had a hole in the floor we had to have sex in which was also the toilet, kitchen, and bedroom!

Older women are (generally speaking) the enforcers of the status quo as opposed to the agents of change. So much of my childhood was dealing with older women who thought I wasn’t “girly enough” and then old hippie women who thought I wasn’t “feminist enough.” The phrase “Can I live?” was invented for them.

$40K is more than 2X what you make?

It’s kinda sad, you sorta can tell, she wanted the rock, and validation, and opportunity to throw herself the perfect hipster wedding. I guess he was just done fucking her for access to cooler shit than he was able to finagle alone.


then again, she’s got a short window, but if she says on twitter she broke up with him…

Characters don’t have to be relateable.

Well, the thing that I see about that is — I’m not here to save people.

So it’s not just me who feels terribly rude when I give someone their 70'th star.
