I think you replied to the wrong person.

“They had no relationship until she went to college.” Now you are even contradicting Woody. Odd. Wonder what you have at stake here?

They are not good. They are bad in a different way. Most movies are “idiot bad.” Woody’s movies are “middle brow bad,” they are basically Downton Abby with different actors each episode.

Many children also hate them.

No. Please see my reply to “Dinosaurs and Nachos, girlfriend!” above.

No. No one ever “deserves” to be raped. “”Deserve” speaks about the way things should be not the way they are. If you effectively promote ant-feminism you will encourage assholes.

No one ever “deserves” to be sexually harassed. “Deserve” is a moral judgement that speaks about the way things should be, not the way they are. In a perfect world no one would ever be harassed. In the actual world promoting an anti-feminist agenda (as Ms. Tantaros did) encourages powerful assholes like Bill O’Reilly…

By promoting an anti-feminist agenda she was indeed sowing sexual harassment. This is not right or fair, but it is the way things are.

You are correct that no one “deserves” to be harrassed, but that is because “deserves” is a moral judgement about the way things should be. In the real world, where things are NOT as they should be, promoting an anti-feminist agenda encourages assholes like Bill O’Rielly to think of women as his property.

You are certainly correct when you state that, “our lives are [not] simply the sum total of our choices.” But it is equally true that we are not “simply” the result of factors beyond our control. We cannot allow conservatives to own the obvious empirical fact that actions have consequences. Certainly you would not…

Not at all. I am the sort of person who thinks Ms. Tantaros is good at her job. She is a brilliant anti-feminist propagandist who helped to perpetuate the culture that harmed her and billions of others.

It is very possible to hold and promote progressive values and be financially successful. Rachel Maddow is at the top of her profession. Bernie Sanders just bought his third home. Again, why are you determined to believe she is insincere? It seems wildly improbable to me that the woman who accuses feminist of choosing…

Her sword was being a successful anti-feminist. She thus perpetuated and promoted the culture that hurt her and billions of others.

I am not sure what your point is here. She is an enormously talented propagandist who has demonstrated her talents in a wide variety of media, proving her willingness and ability to work hard. If her intellectual commitments had been progressive rather than reactionary she could have become wealthy and famous by…

No I did not say, “she aligned herself with her employer simply by being employed.” Please reread. If you go on to write a NYT bestseller (without your employer’s permission) denying the reality of global warming you will have helped to create a world where your grandchildren will have a lower quality of life than you…

What relevance does this have to Tantaros?

Really this is not about me. It is about Tantaros who is certainly too rich through the fault of her own talent and hard work. She’s not some struggling welfare mother. She’s not even Anne Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada. She is at the top of her profession and the author of a NYT bestseller…

I have not. More importantly, Tantaros values did align with Fox New’s and she actively promoted those values on air and with her book which she published without her employers’ permission. She successfully promoted an anti-feminist culture through her own talents and hard work. And then this culture harmed her as it…

It’s not really a question of whether or not she “deserved”this environment. The fact is: you live by the sword, you die by the sword. If you successfully promote evil; you will eventually be affected by the evil you helped to create. Is this reality “deserved” or “fair”? I just do not think it matters how you, me or…

I am blaming her. You live by the sword. You die by the sword.
