Power differential is the issue, and Jack Nicholson has considerably more clout in the industry than JLaw. To abuse that position of power to skeeve on a young actress considerably younger and with less power than him is creepy, and his male privilege prevents him from seeing it.

It was just as creepy when Leonardo…

Okay, I admit I laughed at that. ;)

Once you tell anyone you like them as more than just friends, things change.

You tried to change the nature of the friendship. It failed, and you have to face the consequences. That's the case no matter who you are, regardless of sex, gender, orientation. If you can't handle that, then you shouldn't take that risk. …

Heh, I like your name too. :)

Plausible deniability:

"Whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally," Zimmerman said to a commenter on the auction site.

... and hopefully when he shows up at their door, the owner of the residence will deem him to be acting suspiciously, with a suspicious package, and you know,…

Just realized that was a double entendre: I meant 'sacked' in the football sense, not any sexual connotation.

Whoever wrote that tweet should have been, ahem, 'sacked'. :P

Yeah, I had to stop following at least one woman's boards because she was all Tea Party crazy, which I didn't realize when I followed her (probably because she followed me first and I felt obliged). But most of her pins were guns, religion and anti-Obama stuff (often all together).

This part doesn't sound that bad: "and to remind her to only date boys who will treat her like a Queen".

Kind of cheesy, definitely heteronormative, but it could be seen as sweet if what he's saying is he wants his daughter to remember that she deserves to be with someone who will treat her right, and that she…

I had to Google what 'NS Black Metal' was. Ah. Ugh.

Honestly, there are few former neo-Nazi skinheads (and I've had enough run-ins with them as a former SHARP/ARA member to know what they're like) who I might trust as actually having reformed and changed for the better, than some pretentious self-proclaimed liberal…

Oh wait, is this video the same one that Terry Richardson did? *shivers uncomfortably*

That dude just totally skeeves me out. (http://girliegirlarmy.com/lifestyle/2013…)

Hmm, two sexual predators ('alleged' for legal purposes) in a video with Lady Gaga. That's not good. In fact, that's really disappointing considering…

As a cis-male who is 5'4", I feel like I should take offense with the wisecrack about Freeman's height... ;P

... but I don't because really, I have so many privileges of my own that being short is really not that huge and terrible thing that people make it out to be. Kind of a pain at the grocery store trying to reach…

Who said there was? You're the one who brought 'greed' up by calling porn actresses greedy, not me. I don't even disagree with your assessment (re: exploitation), but I would further add that just as there is no such thing as 'greed' per se, neither is there any such thing as objective morality: there is only what…

Apparently you have an inability to think in terms of hypothetical situations...?

And it's only judgmental people like _you_ who make a conscious choice to stigmatize sex for pay and characterize it as a behaviour that is lacking in 'self-respect'. Meanwhile the really odious behaviour within the capitalist system…

Well, it depends on the situation: if a moviegoer's reaction to something some actor, or director said in an interview was so visceral and violent that they can no longer separate the art from the artist, I can totally understand them not being able to watch a certain movie anymore, or listen to their music, or…

Hmm, you have a point there...

Or in Shia LaBeouf's case, not even that. :P

"I'm not defending rape jokes. I'm defending the ability to talk, discuss, and even make jokes about any number of ideas or subjects that could inspire or trigger a small minority of us to do stupid, illegal, or even fatal things."

As an ACLU (and CCLA, the Canadian version) supporter, I'm not against the freedom of…

Yes, I am almost 39 and I was sad to hear about the passing of Dana 'Kimberly' Plato (she was definitely one of my first TV crushes) because _Diff'rent Strokes_ (I think I still have the theme song on cassette that I taped off the TV) was a part of my childhood, and while in retrospect there is this 'white saviour'…
