Yeah. Weinstein has said straight up that he sells sponsorships to the highest bidder - last episode the sponsor was Dixie cups. I should stop watching, given the Weinstein scandal.

It is glaring in the writing and the directing that there aren’t many (if any) women involved. They have some really amazing female characters and performers, but they so often fail to write deserving material.

That something is called myopia, and privilege. When the stuff minorities or women are talking about is something you’ve never dealt with or seen first hand (and I mean intimately viewed) it may as well not exist and don’t try and convince them otherwise. This is how the how the post-modern oppression machine works.…

I think so. Dump is so utterly incapable of not being the walking personification of all of White Male Privilege’s worst instincts at all times that he’s kind of forced us to admit, as a society, that it really is that bad and that widespread.

I always thought “boys will be boys” was something you said when a teenager got caught with a porn rag, not when a grown man rapes someone.

Its Game of Thrones, I’ve always had an issue with that show and how graphic it is. Bet you if that show was made and directed by women it would be so different in its portrayal of women.

Hey I still live at home and this is my situation with my family. But they’ve gone further then live and let live, they’ve actually actively encouraged it. My mums come around somewhat though. But still the last 12 months have been some of the worst of my life psychologically/mentally. But i guess its kind of worse in…

They aren’t like books, there isn’t anything inside them to interpret.

This is the stuff that slows the momentum of movements and often ends up derailing them. We are seeing unrepentant rapists and molesters getting named and shamed, there are doubtless hundreds more to come and we’re going to waste time and energy over a joke that was made and apologized for 6 years ago?

Jason Momoa apologized and made a documentary about rape. He apologized again. We can continue to flagellate him when he actually made progress/amends or we can actually bring the spotlight back onto a serious predator with current conversation we are all having. I suggest this dude:

It is. Unless he’s said further shitty things more recently I don’t think we need to revisit this.

He made a distasteful joke. He recognized it. He apologized for it.

True. Sorry, I am kind of highjacking this thread. My husband of 20 years and I ave been fighting for the first time about our government. He thinks I can’t trust when our POTUS tweets and the appears on Hanity, on video. He thinks I may take it out of context. I am an executive in my company, I’m not stupid. If I…

Because penis.

The fact it’s happening in the Age of Trump is just bizarre. Maybe we all got sick of creeps being rewarded?

I’m more concerned about his very oddly shaped head and that hair. What. The. Hell?

and yet abuser-in-chief is still in office!

Has anyone ever worn a leather jacket more awkwardly?

Actors in Shakespeare’s day were all male, but I would still not be surprised if you were right.

If you are moderately rich, no-one is proposing you be left penniless. Just that you be taxed more than Republicans want to tax you.
