I hope all agents and managers tell their clients The Halle Berry* Rule of Accidental Wronging:

Yeah she couldn’t have looked less turned on. I made it as far as the scene where the heroine gets blamed for a potential mob war because “she dressed like that” and should have expected to get immediately raped. It was even more victim shamey than your standard VC Andrews romance novel crap. At least her heroines…

I started watching it for the same reasons most of viewers probably did (bored, horny) but had to stop after the guy forces a flight attendant to give him a blowjob. The first write up I read implies it’s just a hot power exchange sort of thing, but it’s really, really not. The attendant character does not seem to be…

Unfortunately Netflix won’t do anything. Too many people are watching or partially watching this movie. It shows how normalized violence against women is in entertainment.

the true equivalence is that they’re all garbage people

Mel Gibson *and* Emile Hirsch? I assume they also tried to get Kevin Spacey but he just wasn’t available?

The fetish is for the a white male audience. Data shows us (in dating apps, etc.) that white women are more likely to be discriminatory against black men rather than be wracked by BBC fantasies.

This is an area white women need to be honest with themselves about how much you fetishise black men and the BBC thing. It’s gross and you need to call your sisters on it. 

And folks on that side STILL ain’t talking about the fact that having a compulsory display of “patriotism” before a corporate professional sports exhibition is deeply weird?

I’m going to try to make this clear. Yes, Ariana is white but sings R&B/hip hop influenced (read “black music”) and we won’t even get into the cultural appropriation claims against her.

1) She could have absolutely stated her points without bringing the other artists into the conversation. 2) Is this really the hill she wants to die on?

As evidence, you need look no further than Reade’s own Twitter timeline. Before she became a big-time Sanders supporter, she strongly supported Biden, including praising his work towards halting violence towards women.

Maybe we should also point out, since this is the actual end-game and saying otherwise is disingenuous at best:

This. I default to believing women and I’ve represented victims. But I will not believe when the story lacks all credibility. It drives me nuts when people question victims because their story “changes,” and it is nitpicks like she said the guy was wearing a purple shirt but it was indigo! However, the constant…

I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not, but can we stop pretending polygraph tests are anything but bullshit? They certainly aren’t “lie detectors.” 

Biden was forceful in his denial. Tara Reade is forceful in her story. I doubt they moved the needle for anyone who wasn’t already on their respective sides. Will this blog writers like to help out here? How is someone supposed to defend themselves without a “a shallow MeToo gloss”? Biden himself has been respectful.…

He’s right. I kept scrolling down looking for that scene to be mentioned. It’s a huge fail. Even if these two staffers are right (and they’re not), one could also argue that the scene in which Nomi is attempting to seduce Kyle (I forget his character’s name) via stripping should be on the list. For God’s sakes, she…

Even without the hype, there is piece of that movie that serves as a smoking gun to its earnestness...and really, it’s the ONLY thing I will give this scene, because otherwise it’s a really repulsive moment to watch.

That’s the scene where Nomi’s friend gets raped.

That scene is...REALLY fucking uncomfortable to watch.…

We debated this. Ultimately, there were two staffers, who shall remain nameless, that maintain the Showgirls sex scene is “intentionally and artfully bad” and therefore actually good.

“What’s that old saying about sex being like pizza? Even when it’s bad, it’s still good?”

Only for men. When sex is bad for women, they have a lot of pain (30 percent of women report pain during vaginal sex. Imagine the outcry if 30% of men had pain.). Bad sex for men is like a 7/10, for women it’s 4/10. Same words,…
