That’s literally my whole point. And it came up particularly with the Aziz case where people questioned it. The issue is why a lot of men do not recognise that pushiness IS assault. And I thought that aspect is something that Amy articulated. It’s an overwhelming amount of men. At some point this isn’t just anecdotal…

I’ve actually been criticised on here for being too hardline when it comes to what is considered sexual assault. I know exactly what I’ve been through. I know I’ve been sexually assaulted, and he was the perpetrator. You calling people an idiot and being so fucking patronising for having a differing opinion about WHAT…

I don’t think this is really the same. Amy isn’t wrong- what Aziz did isn’t illegal. But, like Amy said, what he did still isn’t acceptable and can do a lot of damage to the woman on the receiving end.

Unpopular Opinion: You cannot shame or criticize victims, but I think there is room to just believe people you care about. I don’t think it’s okay for Keaton to go after Dylan Farrow, but I do think it’s okay that she believes Allen and is wrong. I also think it’s okay that Nikki Minaj never spoke out against her…

Thats ridiculous, just because some right wing jerk happens to agree with a particular argument doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with SNL.

I’ll play devil’s advocate here..what would be the correct move for him in this situation? Besides not being an alleged sexual predator and general fucking creep to start, of course.

Why does she need to say anything? Why do we immediately turn to the closest woman and burden her with the responsibility of answering for some shitty man’s actions? Why does it always bounce back on women?

I’d bet there are issues that are super important to other people that you aren’t fighting for, which, if you were in their shoes, you’d suddenly understand if you experienced it.

That’s not at all what she said. What she said was she understood the issue more after she had kids, which is fair. I am all for designated rooms for breastfeeding, but as someone who doesn’t have an infant hanging on my tits half the time I generally don’t notice if a building has one, because I am not actively…

Uhhh...she’s a double-amputee from her service in Iraq. Pretty sure popping out kids is easy-peasy for her. If you’re saying she didn’t care about mommy problems before she became one, does anyone?

King Johnson, your journal entry is spot-on. Good job.

The woman says Klages told Nassar, but not her parents—or anyone else.

This year can we not alienate the shit out of WOC? It was a shit show with BLM and Native American women. I’m looking at you, fellow white women.

Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

This is how you make young white women look like infants. She was 23 years old. She had graduated from college, could legally vote, legally get married, join the military, drink alcohol, marry someone 50 years older than her. She is an adult. This reminds of me when media refers to Don Jr., Kushner and Ivanka as…

Just here for the comments:

This is a case of a bunch of rich white people trying to take advantage of a black artist who is troubled,” a “frustrated industry veteran” told the LA Times.

I do think it’s something of an age thing. Older women endured so much of this shit, and now some of them resent younger women who expect better. I experienced a twinge of this recently—I had my kids 10+ years ago and get very little maternity leave. It sucked, and I was very much in support of more generous laws and…

She stole them? You mean she broke into Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston’s homes and bare-knuckle boxed them until she won. Then she tied up Billy Bob and Brad Pitt and ran off with them?
