I made a comment about that before seeing yours. If I remember correctly, he was sad because he wasn’t “hot” in his drag get-up, and therefor men were mean to him.

Yep. Fuck him and that argument. I have no respect for Dustin Hoffman anymore.

What John Oliver did was, literally, heroic. There are plenty of people who relish being the skunk at the garden party, and he’s not one of them. When I’ve seen him do things like this in the past, he looks really uncomfortable with it; even a bit scared. A hero isn’t someone who’s fearless; a hero is someone who is…

Yeah and he could just own up to it too.

“Have you seen Tootsie?” he asked Oliver at one point. When Oliver insisted that he had and that he enjoyed Hoffman’s performance in it, Hoffman told a detailed story about staying in makeup and costume as Dorothy, the film’s title character, after shooting had ended one night and experiencing misogyny first-hand.…

To this, Hoffman turned to Wag the Dog director Barry Levinson and dismissively asked, “Am I the powerful man?”

He even has a third option. There’s a legal remedy when you feel people’s false speech about you has harmed your reputation. It’s suing someone for defamation. I notice that Hoffman has chosen not to seek that remedy.

“You have indicted me. … That’s not innocent until proven guilty.”

Jesus- the most telling part is when the A-list actor for 6 decades asks the A-list exec if he’s the powerful man in the scenario.

I saw an article on BuzzFeed with reactions from the people who were there, and many were like “what a bummer, why did Oliver have to change the subject/make everyone uncomfortable/forget he was there to discuss the film?” or “this is not the time or the place to put Hoffmann in that situation!” Those are probably the…

I received an email from tech support regarding logging in from my iPhone. They recommended I clear my cache. This worked, but apparently with whatever new Kinja hell we’re in...I have to do this almost daily. Fucken annoying.

I’m pretty sure the women he harassed felt blindsided, too. Deal with being uncomfortable in every situation now, Hoffman. Welcome to Hell!

Since I’m not getting back any response from the Jezebel techies, I’ll just ask it here: am I the only one who’s having trouble signing in? I can’t get into my account on my phone (ongoing problem for the past months) or my computer (since Friday). I’m using the latest updates of everything on Mac devices. And the…

Am I the powerful man?

I’m glad John Oliver didn’t let it go.

Also: Netflix booted Danny Masterson off ‘The Ranch’. took them long enough...

“Am I the powerful man” is about as tone-deaf as it gets.

This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.

A white “feminist” hypocritically turning their back on their “principles” in the face of some average white guy they’re fond of? Shocking. They never do that.

Also I mean colour me entirely NOT shocked that Drumpf kept copies of Hitler’s speeches but surely that’s worth more than a line in Dirt Bag? White supremacy guys. In 2017. And it’s not even shocking that it’s gaining momentum anymore, just a year into his dictatorship.
