I would hope not, but I have no faith in humanity at the moment.

“Hey pedophile, you think you gonna work with that other pedophile in the future?”

Um, yeah – the parental figures separated because Woody Allen thought it was fun and chill to throw his boners into paternal relationships. There sure was a lot of pain and hurt feelings, especially after he assaulted his 7-year-old daughter! Funny how that works. Geez, why do these childhood sexual abuse situations…

I didn’t find her statement offensive at all.

PSA: Union saying this does not diminish anyone’s experience. She is stating a fact about how things are. Kind of like how AIDS wasn’t taken seriously until a little white boy was dying of it -Ryan White (and when a white male celebrity got it - Rock Hudson). There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging reality (in fact…

Minnesota has one of the best Democratic benches right now, including many women and POC. I’m not even a little concerned that they’ll find a suitable replacement.

When did insisting that women not be sexually hunted as a condition of their employment become an ‘idealogical purity test’?

That’s the thing—Franken staying in power does not help prop up More, whether Franken leaves or stays has literally zero impact on Moore, to think otherwise is to not appreciate the differences in the types of games Republicans and Democrats are playing. That’s my point.

What I can’t stand is that women and girls are always asked to sacrifice themselves to the altar of a “higher goal”, which is usually to keep some man who abuses them in power. FUCK THAT. The “something at stake” here are women and girls, and our future daughters.

reminds me of this

I loved him in Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The author has a PhD from UT. The piece is quite harsh towards Hammer, but it’s not really about him as much as the entertainment industry’s continuing insistence on and methods for trying to create a fresh generation of straight white male Movie Stars despite the audience’s stubborn disinterest in such creatures. I…

It bugs me that the first two letters (to Alanis and Dave) don’t actually have a direct request in them. I see one in the letter to Justin, and, sure, I think the overall intent is pretty clear in all of them, but I spent those first two letters going, “but what exactly are you ASKING FOR? Are you going to ask at some…

I suspect that in 17 years (if not sooner), you might look at her more kindly.

Lord knows that when I look back on all the women I’ve loved, I primarily think about the men they worked for.

So do you not get how some kids don’t have good parents who do this? I mean, you’re basically saying that your kids won’t be assholes because you are a good parent... and you are using this as an argument for accountability.... but some people don’t have good parents. They are going to fuck up. If I was black or poor…

Protip to AV Club commenters; if you’re sitting down to type a reply to this article that features the phrase “witch hunt”, go make yourself a sandwich instead.

The person who responded to you who works on harrassment cases for HR said they have literally never had a case where the accused politely asked the accuser out once, she said no, and that was it. So this assertion that there is a fine, confusing line that men have such a hard time understanding just isn’t a realistic…

Generally, on professional sets, when sexual content is involved, everyone endeavors to make the actors involved as comfortable as possible. This is why such sets are often closed. Now, a kiss scene is not a sex scene, but to a young actor who hasn’t had their first kiss yet, there’s obviously a lot of nerves…

I can totally understand why people love that scene, but I guess I just found the whole Snow Ball in general to be a bit. . . cheesy? I wanted to like it, but something about that whole segment was just off to me. I’ve never seen a middle school dance where every kid pairs up for a slow dance and stares longingly at…
