gaslighting can make someone doubt their own sanity (been there!)

He forced actresses in his movies to wear Marchesa in order to put Marchesa on the map. She was all too happy to turn a blind eye, because she personally benefited. She didn’t care about his crimes until she realized her brand was in trouble.

Weinstein was forcing actresses to wear Georgina’s gowns on the red carpet... That fact alone demonstrates she is up to her eyeballs in her husband’s ugliness.

seriously. Comey, McCabe, Preet Bhara, etc. etc.. Is he really this dumb? I think he is just so used to being able to intimidate people with litigation that he cannot adjust his strategy.

Remember the Bill Clinton impeachment? Remember what that special counsel was for? Hint: nothing to do with boning interns in the White House. It was the Whitewater controversy, which ended up being a wash from a legal standpoint. Regardless, Clinton still faced impeachment for obstruction of justice because he lied…

Bullshit

As a lesbian, I would consider a cisgendered woman, who was previously “out” as a lesbian, and dating/marrying a man to be bisexual and no longer a lesbian/homosexual. It’s annoying as a lesbian/homosexual when these women use incorrect terminology because it validates straight men being sexually aggressive with…

If he wanted to warn someone about a bomb, he should have called theaters where The Emoji Movie was playing.

This dude is messy.

Um, how is he a hero when he drugged and raped young black women?! Because what you’re doing is prioritising the unearned reputation of a black man over the lives of black women.

So, I still come here because it’s helped me develop confidence and a voice in my feminism and to kill the “cool girl” I occasionally wanted to be. But a lot has changed in the last year or two.

Maher empathized after his own advertising boycott and firing from his ABC News show Politically Incorrect in 2002. The argument:

Yeah people need to stop pretending he’s anything but a hypocritical contrarian.

Oh I see. You’re a “reverse racism” person. Cool, cool, cool. No thanks. Bye now.

And male aggression

I had a Duckie in high school. This kid would show up every weekend to whatever I was doing. One night I asked my BFF why she kept inviting him, and she said she thought I wasn’t the one who told him where we were going. I still don’t know how he found out.

He rode his bike past Andie’s house several times a day, every day. If she wasn’t home, he sat with her dad til she got there. He hung out at the record store where she worked whenever she had a shift. He got mad and picked a fight with her when she went out with someone else, then picked a fight with Blane later that…

There are SO many problems with Pretty in Pink. Never mind the ending where she completely caves to the most overt gaslighting ever and apologizes to the guy who fucked and dumped her because his friends didn’t approve for judging him.

No one has ever said “cultural appropriation” and meant it in a neutral manner.

No, the term “cultural appropriation” is not neutral. It was never a “thing” until it came to white people “stealing” someones culture.
