Totally unnecessary insult.

Unpopular opinion: being shitty to a shitty person is still shitty, and calling a woman a cunt, while not as bad as calling an African American an ape, is still pretty fucking shitty. I think we can tear down Ivanka without resorting to gendered slurs and contributing to the general level of vitriol and disrespect in…
I am having an even bigger problem with people trying to equate the drivel that was Roseanne with All in the Family.
All Roseanne did is the basic “comedienne goes big” deal where they turn your stand up set into a show. See Tim Allen, Seinfeld, etc.
Sheesh.
They could swap out the 4 other members of Maroon 5 with any other person in every one of their videos and I would believe that it was the same people every time.
I really like John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Wanda Sykes, et al, but fuck them for trying to pretend they didn’t know Roseanne Barr is a racist piece of shit. I’m glad they lost their jobs and fuck the idea of “The Connor Family” or whatever other bullshit people are suggesting. I’ll be happy to see the have other…
I’m not with you on lead/led, but their are definatly alot of editorial errors in this peice.
“please don’t start by saying how cute or pretty they are!”
THIS. Especially girls. And please don’t comment on how cute their clothes are. Ask kids about school, what they learned, etc. Kids (especially girls) need to know they’re valued for more than just being cute and pretty.
And stop it with the…
This. Even if he (and I suspect he didn’t really) felt the same need to put men at ease, it almost certainly wasn’t with sexual comments about their appearance.
I would really love to hear what Freeman has said to men that’s “complimentary.” Did he also long to watch them have sex? Did he ask them about getting women pregnant?
My list is down to one: Ronan Farrow.
This said it best
The way these scenes were described were almost exactly what I went through as a kid by my abuser. “this is normal, just relax. This is how it’s done, you’re fine, think of something else.”
Totally agree. I’m really surprised Jez is being so dismissive of this. FWIW, the same thing was noted by non partisan Common Sense Media. Their language was more of an objective description of the scene, but it is what it is: wrong.
Kids, especially very young ones, emulate what they see in movies. They identify with Lightning McQueen, who’s a car for crying out loud, and want to be brave like Nemo. It’s not a particularly funny joke (as in, it’s dumb and unoriginal) and I can absolutely see a kid who’s experienced some form of sexual abuse…
But that’s exactly my point: The “decent” ones are fucked up too. The “feminist” men, the liberals, the good guys. Get them into the right conversation, and they will still say the wrong thing.
I’ve made some progress with my husband. A few years ago I had an issue with an office co-worker, I was debating going to HR about it and my husband basically said, “HR won’t do anything and it’ll be worse for you if you say something.” And while he may have had a point, it really hurt how he kind of blew off my…
i’ve had so many conversations with men since last fall about men’s toxic behavior only to be met with more toxic masculinity (most unintentional... let’s hope, but there regardless) from the men in my life that i trust and love. this fucks me up.
I want to believe in my heart that you don’t marry and procreate with any Poehler and end up being a gigantic piece of shit but you know...crazier things have happened
