When women are targeted, harassed and attacked as a gender, then it’s important and extremely helpful for them to have a closed-doors session where they can actually open up about what they’ve experienced without fear of men associating their comments with specific people.

So who should do it? How can we systematically discriminate against men, in an industry currently dominated by men, so that they learn what it’s like?
The point of “excluding” men, is to provide women and enbies the opportunity to participate without the harassment or the descrimination. The same opportunity men get at…

Sure, she could have and probably should have left sooner than she did. None of which is relevant to whether what Aziz did is okay. Staying in his apartment is not consent to sex. None of the other things she did are consent to sex, either. That shouldn’t be confusing to men, and I don’t think it actually is. It’s…

Look, I’m not a fan of comic book movies, and I’m a film snob, and hell, just look at my name and avatar, but even I rolled my eyes a bit when Hawke invoked Bergman and Bresson.

The harassment I am experiencing on the campaign trail is astounding to me.

Didn’t Shannon already play Trump, in the Shape of Water?

Banning guns doesn’t stop criminals from getting guns.

My wife and I have an abiding belief that every person on the planet should be made to work at least one year in the service industry, be that retail, food service, customer support, or what have you.

The idea behind this belief is that while having walked a mile in the company shirt won’t stop everyone from shitting…

“[The Tweets]...are unacceptable in the #MeToo era and are not in line with Disney’s family-friendly image.”

You know what, the films had their flaws and shouldn’t have been a trilogy, but I loved the Hobbit films. They were fun, the casting was superb, and they worked more than they did not, and when they worked, they were a blast. I do want to see Grace’s cut out of curiosity, but I don’t see the Hobbit films as…

I’m old enough to remember when this was called stupid.

Pointing a gun at your commanding officer and staging a mutiny is pretty much textbook traitor.

The Shield.

This is what annoys me. Anyone who has a justifiable, reasoned and thought-out criticism of The Last Jedi gets immediately lumped in with the “Durr, no like women! No like black man! GRAHGH!” morons, which is vastly unfair.

But it’s not a moment of weakness he should have had. In ROTJ, he only attacked Vader with such fury because he was being goaded and he started to give into the Dark Side. Here, he just does it because he believes his vision... which is reminiscent of ESB, another time he followed his vision and ruined shit. Johnson…

I feel like the movie gives the wrong impression of Luke. Luke already learned that redemption was possible for even the second worst person in the galaxy.For him to be prepared to kill his nephew, even in a moment of weakness, throws away all the character development he had. It’s well played in the story, but it…

I think a lot of the reason why people can’t accept that Luke would do something like that to Kylo, is that the momemt feels unearned. It feels like there’s a scene or missing. We hear Luke explaining himself, we see Hamill’s wonderful performance...but the moment is missing context.

He went in there with his lightsaber. He didn’t need that if he was just trying to gauge how far Ben had fallen. It’s like he didn’t learn anything from redeeming Vader at all. He knew what he was doing. He knew the potential decision he was making. That’s taking the exact wrong lesson from his confrontation with…

She had to cut off her ears at a young age to hide her elfin nature.

Australian women are great at shutting bullshit down. There is a great National distaste for disingenuous codswallop, and I adore that this was on the ABC, which is the National Broadcaster.
