Deep inside, I’m super happy for them and for our future with them in it. But since right now these people exist purely for my own entertainment, let me criticize them in a way I would consider beneath me to do to real, breathing people. Here goes.

Dan, Dan, Dan, oh, Dan. This has zero to do with swagger and everything to do with sexism.

The difference is that she’s a woman, and one of those frivolous “actress” type women to boot. So she must be blamed.

The security guard at the grocery store hit on me before I even walked into the store. We can’t even buy food because the grocery store pays a guy to harass us at the entrance.

Go tell this guy off.

Exactly. A mass shooting can be carried out in less than five minutes. And by “action” I’m pretty sure he meant “crime.”

Yeah, in high school when we read Brave New World the “somas’ freaked me out. I feel like now we live in that Brave New World. I’m really happy these medications exist, but I feel like there’s something wrong with our society that almost all of us need them.

Right? YOU DESERVE THE STARS!

No one is allowed to overturn our nation’s legal system and suddenly pronounce that a crime isn’t a crime. Where does Damon get off?

He can and did state his opinion. “Shut up and listen” means that his opinion is ignorant and he needs to educate himself before anyone respects it.

I’m asserting that I know more than Damon, not because of my gender but because of my education. A lot of men are speaking out in ways that I admire; Matt Damon isn’t one of them.

I didn’t fucking make that assumption. You did. Matt Damon knows fuck all about sexual harassment, as is evidenced by his own comments on the matter. But he feels entitled to speak for victims, saying “we” can work with LCK’s apology. At another point in that same interview, he falsely claims that what LCK did wasn’t…

Nope. A term that points out sexism isn’t sexist in and of itself. What’s sexist is the actual mansplaining. The term “condescension” doesn’t capture all the elements of mansplaining, which include:

Actually, no. A lot of men have experienced sexual harassment and abuse. Damon has never indicated that he has, and he sure as hell is uneducated about the subject.

First, I’m simply pointing out the hypocrisy of his response to abusers vs his response to someone who makes a false allegation.

No, they’ve said “shut up and listen” which is quite different. Damon doesn’t have the knowledge or experience to comment wisely on sexual harassment. If he wants to educate himself, he needs to starting listening to people who know what they’re talking about.

Well, if actual guilt were involved (as it’s estimated to be in about 98% of all cases), then shouldn’t it be a lose for the accused? And although it’s a lose for the poor victim, its also a bit of win to see justice done.

Oh, it is not. It’s trotted out whenever some guy decides to explain that we need to be more “nuanced” in our opinions of criminal sexual assault and that we should forgive guys who apologize because nobody’s perfect. Whenever I hear some ignorant opinion delivered in a wise, thoughtful-sounding, father-knows-best…

Mansplaining has to do with men pontificating to women on topics they know little or nothing about, or less than the woman they’re explaining to knows.

The ABC interview had even worse moments:
