You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

Your point is an interesting, though uncomfortable one — sorry you’re getting piled on. I usually find myself rolling my eyes at the “Wow that sucks, so here’s a picture of MY PET BUNNY WABBIT!” posts on news about deeply tragic shit. I never respond because I know I’ll get piled on.

I get what you’re saying and also find it odd but it happens a lot here so I think this will fall on deaf ears. I try to imagine a real life conversation about the murder and then someone chiming in with “that’s horrifying, so anyway, let me tell you about this cake I just baked bc it makes me feel better”. In real…

Leslie Jones herself had some really good things to say about her character’s role on the team: the importance of having someone who really knew the city, and the value of MTA workers overall, and how the black character shouldn’t have to be a scientist in order for her contributions to be equally worthwhile. I’m…

False. Hollywood reboots movies that absolutely do not need them all the time (and most of the time the trailers for those projects look like shit too). I can’t think of a single reboot that has attracted anywhere NEAR the level of vitriol as the Ghostbusters reboot. There’s almost nothing different from Ghostbusters…

I don’t think that either the first wife’s experience or Paradis’ experience should matter. Relationships are different with different people. And in the case of the first wife, that marriage ended before Amber was born.

Bill Cosby got the benefit of the doubt for a very long time, after many, many accusations. He’s not really the best example.

Paul Bettanny is defending Johnny. This needs to be a separate post. I’ve been raging non-stop about thia because I’m tired of the mental gymnastics people would rather do before accepting that their beloved celebrity hit his wife. This is the problem with celebrity worship. We put these people on pedestals and it’s…

I love it when guys defend other guys by talking about *their* own friendship as evidence for why the guy must not have beaten his female partner. It’s like white guys saying “my white friend has always been great to me, there’s no way he’s racist!!”

If my husband smacked me in the face, having some lady time with my close friends the next day is EXACTLY what I’d be doing. This pic is proving practically the opposite of what Johnny thinks it proves.

You’re painting with a pretty broad brush there. There are certainly a small subset of entitled, evil people out there, but I do not believe there is a huge push from they pedophile community for decriminalization of child molestation. I’ve read multiple articles from journalists and in the mental health community…

Yeah I’m uncomfortable with the implication that she only released these pics because he’s fighting the spousal support. Even if that is what she’s doing, which is gross, it doesn’t negate the grosser, more horrible fact that she is a victim of domestic violence. They’re both assholes but being an asshole doesn’t mean…

I’m so confused by the entire situation. Assuming that this is all true and he really did want to ruin Gawker media...Gawker still posted Hulk’s sex tape w/o consent right?

Yes, just ‘some moron in a rock band.’ There’s nothing more to it than that. They could have literally interviewed anyone in any rock band about this issue. Nothing unique about what this guy went through. Not when you’re in a rock band.

I can sort of understand why someone might believe reports that an attack happened and then the next day some people in a Muslim nation celebrated in the streets.

“...claiming that he saw Muslims ‘celebrating in the [streets] during the attack.’”

Karla Homolka* ruined it for every woman who was truly a victim.

No my point is not that at all. My point is he has played many heritages other than his own like Lou Diamond Philips in the original comment. Egyptian, Ashkenazi Jewish, Persian, Indian, Hispanic. Probably more.

The bill would have prevented people with restraining orders taken out against them from procuring firearms. In order to get a restraining order taken out against someone, the person angling for the order has to provide the judge with enough reasonable proof that the person would harm them if in close enough…
