Different lens= white straight male. The whole world is through that lens. What a bullshit response.

I’m not sure how to interpret the whole “lens” thing other than “uhhhhhh ... we wanted to.”

theres not as vas a deferens as they are implying, methinks.

Nah, the Disney version doesn’t have the same backstory, she’s a WOC in the Disney film and should be played by a WOC actress in the musical.

Everyone else “I learned so much volunteering at the garden club my junior summer!”

I actually was able to figure this out.

It’s not an argument. It’s negging.

Right? this here is the trickle down effect of people making change for good.

If there’s anything to be gotten from this it’s that

Two thoughts on this:

I’ve been one of those asking for greater clarity on the goals and modus operandi of #MeToo, as a way to promote unity of purpose, focus the xonvetsation and discourage attention-seekers from misusing the hashtag. So look forward to reading her book and very supportive of her ideas about what Me Too is about. It’s…

I’ve not much to say, except Bravo, she is the hero of her story & that she deserves even more recognition. Me Too may not have had the reach it did without celeb stories, but comes back to her and many other unsung women.

I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

Not only did she explicitly say she didn’t want it in her deposition testimony, not only was she drugged, but having sex with a 13 year old is also a crime in France, where Polanski fled, and in Poland, where he was born, (and it was for both of them in the 70s too.)

Dude Bro Sharia Law specifically states that the claims of numerous women are not to be given as much weight as the same weight as the claims of one single Dude Bro. Even if the number is 18 or more (e.g. Donald J. Trump).

It’s not even a “saga”, but a bunch of self-entitled “fans” who whenever something horrible happens involving the singer they supposedly adore their first action is to complain they’ll have to get a refund and wait till the next tour in a couple years time to see them sing live rather than any sign of sympathy.

I work for the government, specially in an area that targets underserved populations.

So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?

My ex-husband’s childhood memories came flooding out around around 38-39. He blew the world up around him, including me. It was horrific and brutal. We don’t speak anymore but as we parted, he was entering some intensive therapy so perhaps he’s finally getting to deal with all his demons. I’m still trying to forgive…

Take all the guns.

How does the fact that he was blind mean he wouldn’t need to serve time? Surely if he was able enough to work as a cook and tie up and rape a 13 yo, they would be able to accommodate his needs in prison as well?
