Interesting that we’re wondering what’s up with NPH here, but nobody’s bringing up the kabillion very fucked up things Whoopi’s said over the years. I’m Team Neither, in general, but I think it’s fair to say that they’re both pretty flawed.
I think for context though, you have to remember that men are often taught to laugh off these things or that they have to like any type of sexual encounter (e.g., the old “men can’t be raped” belief). She brought up working with him when he was a kid, and that could have immediately triggered him to remember an…
If he was trying to come out with a “MeToo” story about Whoopi, then he should do that and she should answer for that. The way that she elaborated on the story made it seem maybe not so bad—like, if he approached her with questions, and she was like, “Look, come back in 10 years and I’ll tell or show you whatever you…
gonna be honest this is the first “how would you treat this if the genders were reversed” comment I’ve agreed with. They’re normally not argued in good faith but, in this case, the author defo needs to rethink this take
Neil Patrick Harris generally seems kind of like a dick but uh, what a weird thing to take away from his story.
‘Listen, wait 10 years, and I’ll take you through it. In those days, you could actually have some fun like that. You can’t do that now. People get very upset now.”
I just found the whole situation to be fucking bizarre frankly. That joke, if that was said, should’ve been called out and would’ve been inappropriate and Whoopi’s “attempting to make good a bad situation” does seem like trying to excuse that behaviour (which obviously brings up the question of “what else did you joke…
Yeah, I’m not really a fan of either of them, but when you have an adult making a sexual comment to a child there is only one person in the wrong... And sometimes victims of sexual harassment/assault do find “weird” ways of bringing it up, whether it be jokes or something else, because it’s not a topic our culture is…
That is a strange article, like it almost sounds like we’re supposed to feel bad that Whoopi was put in an awkward situation for making a very inappropriate remark to a child? If the genders were reversed, I think we would be treating this differently.
Remember back in August, when Senate Democrats struck a deal with Mitch McConnell to confirm a package of 15 judges…

It’s true, he created a lot of injured, struggling veterans. Very committed. This is more of an industry award for veteran care.

Oh god, we’re going to have to suffer through a Bradley Cooper vanity album, aren’t we?
my take away: time is the biggest currency.
That one teenage-looking girl at the beginning of this clip, weakly clapping with a “What the hell kind of music is this?” look on her face until she realized the camera was on her. ::shakes head:: Sorry this isn’t Ariana or Shawn Mendes, child, but the Queen was gonna get her shine.
