how is this Jez article an extreme overreaction...?
I didn’t notice it at all either. My housemate all of a sudden went “Oh wow that’s a dick.” And I was like “Wait where when?”
Well wait a minute, how is this Jez article an extreme overreaction if the mass consumed magazines show a complete inability to have a dialogue with their readers (some of whom may in the future be victims of sexual assault) about sexual assault? That seems pretty problematic to me!
Me too! This whole article I’ve been like, “How did I miss the big fake dick?!?!”
No, not only does it not gloss over it, but there are several scenes wherein the victim goes to a therapist and her doctor not only tells her to get out before her husband kills her and make a safe place for her to go for herself and her kids, but also finally cuts thru the victim’s self denial by talking in her…
If the show presented it in a way that made no attempt to play down that this was an attempted rape and the magazines still called it a “seduction”, I don’t see how this article is an overreaction. Calling rape “seduction” is, even under the best possible light, totally bizarre.

Add The Doors. He was a very Jim Morrison-y Jim Morrison.
I told a relative that it costs $30 million a month to keep Melania in Manhattan and she was all, “Well Obama vacationed in Hawaii.”
I’m sorry, but your mom is a total fucking nutjob.
They do the same thing with “He tells it like it is” to “That’s not what he REALLY meant”
I was hesitant to call 45's voters stupid because I had thought that it’s rude and not necessarily true.
It’s charming how quickly his backers can switch from “Donald is an alpha male silverback gorilla who will not shit from anyone” to “Donald is a precious little baby who is not accustomed to Washington, D.C., and must be sheltered from those nasty politicians”. Supporting Donald is a tremendously corrupting enterprise.
Top Secret is severely underappreciated
