Well, let’s be blunt. The reason Anita Hill wasn’t “taken seriously” by the all-male Senate Judiciary Committee was because members of both parties have sexually harassed people. They couldn’t bring themselves to condemn Thomas for things they knew their colleagues (and in some cases, they themselves) had done.

Here’s the thing: the British rag and the editor at the American equivalent who decided to amplify this weren’t trying to shame actors or working people.  This was an attempt to pile on to the racist stereotype of the rich black man who blows all his money.  Everyone who’s been an actor or in an equally uncertain…

That cover gives like Christmas.

They were not portrayed as anything.

I normally don’t ungray trolls but I’m going to make an example out of your dumb ass. You really think “SJWs” are stupid enough to buy your false equivalency between a serial rapist who used Mossad to stalk his victims and a guy who made a gross video (where no one was harmed) for a TV network that specializes in…

Look at you being a good and decent citizen.  Let’s all fill out the form.  I feel like filling out some forms today.

Because no one (i.e. no white feminists) want to face the fact that, like it or not, they make a statement about who THEY are with the person they choose to marry. On the one hand - yes white men are mostly clueless and so we frustratingly have to take on the task of educating them if we choose them as partners and…

I’m sitting here trying to figure out why your comment has no stars. I feel like that’s a much more productive line of thought & inquiry than the one centered around why FlowBee - a self-admitted man of color - is so often busted hanging around slavering & crawling after white women for answers to questions he ought…

To add onto what Chief Queef said - and I am speaking as a white woman, who has seen this happen - there is a very strong push to achieve “marriage, house, babies” as a life script. And what happens is that you meet someone in your mid or late 20s and you fall in love and so it just makes sense to get married right?…

I can say with utter certainty that my wife and I saw Mystery Men at 12:30am the morning of August 11, 1999. She had to be at the hospital at 5:00am for a scheduled C-section and there was no way we were going to sleep that night, so we went to a post-midnight showing. The theater was rather empty but we had a great…

There’s painting of a young William H Macy in an attic somewhere.

“Until you learn to master your rage—”
“Your rage will become your master? [Long pause] That’s what you were going to say, right?”
“Not necessarily.”

Wes Studi is a national treasure.

This is NOT a good movie. But Kang still quotes Geoffrey Rush’s Casanova Frankenstein every time I mix a cocktail:

I heard a woman once talking about the abusive relationship she had been in and she said, “I didn’t think of myself as an abused woman. I thought of myself as a very strong woman who was deeply in love with a very damaged man, but a man who could be made whole if I just loved him enough.” It was enlightening and…

I try to be encouraged that the GAO will recommend this cueball for prosecution once we get a Congress who’s willing to pursue it at the same time that I fervently hope he won’t be in the job that long. Dude has been a criminal-level grifter since long before he was even Oklahoma A.G., let alone his apparent ambitions…

Or like she was recruited when she was vulnerable and mentally/physically abused into compliance. This happens a lot in cases like this, where the abuser turns his first victim into his “accomplice” to lure in other victims. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is what comes out when he goes to trial.

I don’t know. I left the UK because of all the racism. And yeah, they’re a little more polite but the sense of entitlement and frustration (and therefore anger) is still there. It’s a slow societal decline, with kids putting razor-blades on swings or throwing acid at each other. The UK doesn’t have the same kind of…
