Picnic At Hanging Rock EXTREME!!! sponsored by Red Bull.

Me hearing they are remaking this already perfect movie:

Yeah, just white men though.

“I was so busy maintaining the status quo that I forgot to remember that women matter.”

Yup.

It’s super condescending and offensive. Like she is simply overreacting. And almost implying she’s the unprofessional one.

Their lack of respect for her both as a colleague and a professional was appalling. Obviously, abusing anyone is wrong, but her career could more than rival Tambor’s. The idea that she couldn’t tell the difference between a minor spat and behavior on set that is beyond the norm is absurd.

I think most women have lived this interview many many times in their lives and I know personally I just want to go up to Jessica and offer her a stiff drink and an ear to bitch about the bloody men she is trying to remain friends with to be professional but damn are they dude-bro morons

Ugh. Fuck all of them seriously. And it bothers me knowing they think they’re some of the good ones.

Exactly. To me it read like gaslighting.

I am SO glad they included the audio in the NYT article. People need to HEAR how the men in the room COMPLETELY disregarded everything she had to say about it

I think this interview will feel very familiar to any women that wants people to know what happened to them was not okay, but also feel pressured to go along to get along.

Jessica Walter is a gift and she shouldn’t have to deal with this. How is it that she’s stating that she has NEVER been yelled at like that throughout her career, and everyone is blowing past it??

No, Jessica, you don’t have to be friends with him! God I could cry.

EVERYONE WAS IGNORING THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE CONVERSATION. *fume*

This part was rough to read too:

Reading the way these guys dismiss the incident in front of their co-worker who clearly DOESN’T THINK IT WAS NOTHING is very discomfiting. I get loyalty, even misplaced loyalty, but they don’t seem to have any toward Walter.

I really want to hear more about Alia Shawkat on this. She’s in the Transparent cast. She’s in the Arrested Development cast. She’s a queer woman. She has a unique POV on the situation. I wish the interviewer had called that out and asked. I hope we do get to hear from her about it at some point.

There was something tangential on Jez about three months ago that ties all of this together. In the wake of the Parkland shootings in Florida several NRA “partners” pulled out of the program and stopped offering discounts to NRA members, include FIVE car rental agencies.

It used to be that crashes and deaths caused by driving while drunk was just considered a part of the inherent risk of driving. People drive; people drink; sometimes bad things happen. Such is life. It took a concerted effort of pissed of moms of dead kids to say that conceptualization was fucked up and it’s not only…
