Yup.

I think most women have lived this interview many many times in their lives and I know personally I just want to go up to Jessica and offer her a stiff drink and an ear to bitch about the bloody men she is trying to remain friends with to be professional but damn are they dude-bro morons

Right, when she says “no one has ever yelled at me like that”, how the fuck can they just listen to that? And keep rolling along?

I am SO glad they included the audio in the NYT article. People need to HEAR how the men in the room COMPLETELY disregarded everything she had to say about it

I think this interview will feel very familiar to any women that wants people to know what happened to them was not okay, but also feel pressured to go along to get along.

No, Jessica, you don’t have to be friends with him! God I could cry.

The last couple of years have been eye-opening for me to the theme of “virulent ___ is more widespread than I previously realized.” Despite belonging to several categories of “other,” I somehow didn’t know how wide and deep the river of hatred was. I don’t know if I was lucky, privileged to a far higher degree than I…

he’s thin-skinned for no one’s pleasure

He is easily baited/triggered on Twitter. He argued with a bot of Zizek at one point.

This ^. This man should be babbling alone on a street corner somewhere, not being published in the Times. The media needs to quit normalizing and “humanizing” violent misogynists.

“Ohhh noeees....! I was just talking about enforced monogamy as a cultural norm, nothing else....!

“he seems thin-skinned”.

This man is one of the most dangerous pseudo-intellectuals active today. Almost every white man I know from High School who has struggled to find happiness or fulfillment in their lives have turned to his ideology and eventually joined the alt-right. It’s surreal. I miss the days where disillusioned youth dropped acid…

So if singleness is the cause of men’s violence it stands to reason that the rates of domestic abuse among long term and married couples is close to zerooooohhhhhh, oops. Next up, Jordan Peterson’s newest book: The only thing that pacifies men is assaulting Women, and why this is okay.

They’re basically thinking at the level of an adult chimpanzee, but they consider themselves geniuses.

One of the things I find so challenging about men like this is that they think they’ve got it figured out, that they’re operating on a higher plane, but really, their intellectual development is so stunted by their entitlement and misplaced rage that they have the intellectual capacity of a four year old who’s been…

What I find interesting is that this is the only area where he seems to prioritize “collective good” over “individual freedom”. In every other context, he says that if you need something (healthcare, a job, etc.) it’s on you to get it and it’s not society’s responsibility to guarantee that you have it. But when it…

What makes me angry about the entire “incel” thing - outside of the obvious entitlement and objectification of women - is that these assholes claiming that women are just picking high-status men are the same assholes who won’t date “beneath them.” It’s not that they CAN’T get laid. They just don’t want any woman who…

Next time someone says “Your dad is a preacher, is he gonna say something at your wedding”, I’ma just show them this clip as Exhibit A as a reason why not. Because I love my Dad to death, but I ain’t about to have him get all long winded like he’s in the pulpit at his home church.
