That’s not sexism, but ok, thanks for your input, Jon Snow.

Except there’s no actual sexism happening here. He’d like to be praised more for his acting ability and less for his looks - fair enough. But don’t use that fact to minimize how women are disproportionately objectified.

Does this make him Sleeping Bae? Like, at least he has the potential to one day maybe be Woke?

As you say, what he’s describing is objectification, not sexism. Also, he didn’t actually identify any double standards: he’s complaining that he’s being treated like a woman might be and ‘snot fair.

Yep. No one wants to believe that these people could exist in their own backyard so they create these stereotypes about what they should look like (very obviously creepy) and who they should be (the powerful elite) but for every person who thinks someone with good looks, charitable reputation, fame, power and/or money…

i wasn’t saying it’s literally ‘miraculous’ but figuratively out of bewilderment. just saying it’s not everyday you see someone who was kidnapped and abused for a year recover their sense of living, let alone be hugely successful in life.

The traditional stereotype about the kinds of people who commit child sexual exploitation crimes simply doesn’t dovetail with reality. As our investigators can attest, the defendants in child pornography cases come in all ages and from all walks of life.

I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean to, but by claiming that her recovery for the horrors she’s been through is miraculous, you’ve removed the magnitude of her actions.

And it seems like her family was pretty great about making sure that her needs and her health (emotional, physical, psychological, etc.) were the primary focus when she came home.

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

Are you referring to the scintillating piece of mancandy in the photo above? By which I mean... barf?

That “Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man” saying would be your answer...

That was my favourite bit. She called out the silence and fear around her. See also Roman Polanski.

See comments above. A prosecutor who says they have probable cause but isn’t going ahead with charges because the victim/key witness is too fragile, is so far from ‘hearsay and bitterness’ that I wouldn’t know where to begin explaining the difference.

It infuriates me that this is the case, just like there are people who will claim all of Bill Cosby’s victims are money-hungry white women who were paid off. Especially with the internet, even though it’s gotten easier to verify and fact-check, we have paradoxically became even lazier and more prone to running with…

This is completely incorrect. The prosecutor in the case stated that there was probable cause to go ahead with charges, but Dylan was so fragile that he didn’t want to pursue them. Woody spent millions of dollars pursing his allegations that Dylan had been coached and he lost every time. This information is public…

The number of people who have no fucks to give for Allen’s behaviour really amplifies the horror of his behaviour.

The rule cited forbids “partisan political” behavior. Displaying solidarity with and as a minority group is not a violation of partisanship.

What so political about thinking black lives matter?

I feel so bad for this guy but I can't stop laughing.
