Can we not forget that when women cape for rapists or apologists, that not only makes it worse for victims but sends a message that those victims shouldn’t be listened to since this woman is saying those guys are “alright”?

This is an argument I can get with. It would be very costly to make different samples to fit everyone. It’s not realistic.

This is my exact take on the situation. Why does it matter? Because she has cultivated an image of herself as a feminist comedian. When she employs someone like him, she gives a platform and power to his views. Maybe she’s not promoting him directly, but if he is a named writer on her show or even in her employ, she…

1) He’s a writer on her show and she recites things he says, so his personal philosophy on rape is 100% connected to Schumer herself.

I think maybe she feels genuine disappointment in her friend.

Most responsible employers, feminists or not, would fire an employee for something like this (and almost certainly knowing this is part of a pattern given his previous harrassment of Lindy West and Sady Doyle.

He did this crap before, and when called out on it, she not only defended him, but subsequently gave him a raise. Which he promptly gloated about to the women he was harassing. They’re not just individually shitty people, but even more shitty together.

She employs him. He, and she, have a long history of being racist shitty misogynistic assholes. Black women have been pissed at them for years. Black women run Twitter. Gawker and Reductress, like much of the media, steal a lot of content from the Black women of Twitter. And Black women have been shouting about these…

Seriously. Fire him, Amy.

Or his actions in 2013 with LIndy West, or his dozen other online flare-ups and flame-outs. Well that Bud lite won’t sell itself.

At least she didn’t respond by giving him a raise, like she did to reward him for violently harassing feminists online. Baby steps, I guess.

You say that as a joke, but now I actually kind of want it. But only on the condition that Freelee is only allowed to eat bananas the who damned time.

Dear Amber and Johnny,

Watching Stranger Things has reminded me how much I miss Winona. She needs to be in more stuff.

at least adam levine isn’t an abusive spouse (that we know of). i’ll let him have his shitty tattoos and awful falsetto so long as he continues to dote on behati.

Adding an annotation (rather than just erasing it like it was never there) seems like the right way to handle it.

Oh my god, you are right. Hahah Adam also thinks he’s hella subversive with his bad ink job. Hooo boy. I used to think he was hot, too. Ugh.

She didn’t even try. Not even in the slightest did she try to see these people as people. She went in looking at them as alien beings. Non human, because they weren’t like her.

These people are never actually sorry. She disavows the statement, but does not acknowledge that it was racist and really never apologized. That says a lot.
