LOL this is the hill you wanna die on? Woody Allen?

Yes, absolutely. There’s the scene where she’s talking to Mrs. Doubtfire (very private thoughts about her marriage) and she says “I didn’t like the person I had to be when I was around him.” or something like that. In other words, she had to be his mother. She had to be the killjoy. And the whole time he’s getting…

Sally Field in Mrs Doubtfire.

I could not get into breaking bad because of how White treated his wife. He was a garbage person from the jump, and we’re supposed to see him as this hero who takes on the burden of illness by himself by selling drugs. Fuck off Walter. Sorry you got cancer but you’re not an awesome husband(or even decent) for lying to…

And not even getting into prestige tv “lane bitches”

JERRY MAGUIRE IS A GARBAGE MOVIE KILL IT WITH FIRE

First, they haven’t done anything yet. I’m withholding judgment until I see action, not talk. It’s easy and fashionable now to say this stuff. It’ll be a lot harder when they’ve got to give more lines to a non-white character or take less money on a set so that others can have fair pay.

“Non perfect allies”? I get your overall point, and I’m happy about the inclusion riders too, but neither of these men have ever been allies.

Right? Why are we supposed to give the most praise and credit for the least work. We’re not potty training a toddler.

Acting like someone who has Finally done the right thing is a saint is not an accurate way to go forward. If they are not grown up enough to acknowledge their past mistakes, even in the face of them Finally doing something right, this wouldn’t stick anyway

And you know, this bile

Can he just.... not?

Literally everything about this movie is, “Ugh, THIS asshole again.”

His death was made abundantly clear in the midseason finale like, 8 weeks ago. This isn’t a spoiler.

“Child of mine! You lectured and ridiculed a US senator? Good for you! Let me take you out for ice cream. Wait, do you smoke weed? Let me take you out for weed, and then probably ice cream.”

you shut your goddamn mouth

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…

It is so real — I was immediately talking about the situation, the coercion, consent etc. on a group text with three of my best friends because it struck such a chord. I’m hoping for more follow-up and discussions.

Jezebel, What Are You Doing? Days of silence on the topic, and then what comes forth is not actually the thinkpiece on sexual coercion and the “ways consent can feel blurring”, on how predators purposefully use bullshit excuses about “miscommunication” to get away with it, about how Ansari is more representative of…

Agreed on the good start and trying. I don’t think it was a failure; I think he showed a good example of sacrificing comfort for honesty. And I can hope that D.Hoffman felt some shame as a result of the subsequent attention (since he obviously felt/feels none for his actions).
