Yup.

That’s terrible. I’m so sorry. I hope that this media coverage of Wight’s crimes helps to fulfill part of the purpose that the sex offender registry should have.

Natalie Greenfield here. I’ll weigh in to set the record straight. The case never went to trail, it went to mediation at the urging of the church leaders. They wanted it quiet and quick. They said it was to “protect Natalie”. Anyhow, no trial, a plea agreement was made during mediation, it was agreeable to both sides…

Or even when they are put on it, they’re taken off it after a few years.

I mean...yes. I change my pants every day and I do laundry every week. If my pants or skirts are dry clean only I might wear them twice if they stay clean but dear God. I don’t see why anyone is wearing pants for a week before they wash them. Are they homeless?

What the hell? I simply said that I find it questionable that she has managed to go through ALL of these things like it was a total breeze. No one said anything about women being weak and sickly, but we’re not super humans either. I don’t think selling herself like that to other women is necessarily helpful, but you…

Just a realist. Suckers often confuse the two. The likelyhood that she went through all of those things with total ease and barely missing a beat is just totally unrealistic. This would make her superhuman, which ironically, is part of her entire brand.

“So it wasn’t a big step for him to say “so if boobs anda vagina don’t make you a woman, why should healthcare pay for trans people to get surgery?” What should I have said back”

You misread. I have seen men do that rudely. That doesn’t mean that it’s inherently rude (although it’s certainly not particularly polite in most circumstances), just that it can be done in a rude manner.

Yeah, totally. And I think there’s a social pressure difference as well as a size difference. I know men who are fast eaters themselves and don’t comment on other men’s eating speed but if they happen to see a woman eat quickly they’ll rudely comment on it like “wow, you ate that really fast!”. I think some women who…

McGowan isn’t “a working actress”. She’s transitioned to directing and quit acting entirely and made multiple public statements to that effect. No, it isn’t reasonable to decide that getting a buzzcut wasn’t “in her best interest” or to suggest that she’s not okay based on it.

A woman made unkind comments? How lucky there was a paedophile man around to save the day!

Other times of extreme stress, since you ask.

Oh nonsense. They can do wonders with wigs and extensions these days. I think it’s silly to start by questioning her mental health, based on a haircut.

Why would you think that? I got a lot of the same concern when I shaved my head, and I didn’t understand where it was coming from. Is this a thing? When women cut off their hair they go insane, or vice versa?

Yeah, I can’t really judge the moms in the comments here who made uncool comments about their daughter’s weights, considering that they were living in a world where being heavier was a socially accepted reason for controlling “head of the household” husbands to abuse them.

Yeah, TV shows and movies do cover up men’s poor behaviour towards women, demonize women, and act as if body pressures are a “girl-on-girl hate” issue. And all that is totally false. Good point!

Why are moms seen as horrible but not fathers? Confirmation bias combined with misogyny.
