Explain to me how he coerced her. He has no power over her. He’s not in a position of authority over her. If his fame gave him power over her, that was her choice. Ansari is probably no more than 140 lbs soaking wet, so he’s not even a physical threat to her. She engaged in sexual activity with him. He never had…

The show-runner has a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material. Quoted from EW:
A teen dramedy about a traditionally pretty blonde white girl taking her power back from a fat chick, a black girl and a gay dude, as the adults marvel how crazy it is that people like her aren’t already at the top of the pyramid. What could go wrong?
A strange stance to take as her character in the Duchess, a historical film, is horrifically raped by her husband. I respect her for her stand against “titillating” rape portrayals in film, but she apparently forgot one of her own movies...
I’ve seen this too.
Women still had abortions before Roe v. Wade, but “many more died, many more lost their capacity for reproduction. Much more horror and suffering occurred.”
The forced birth movement is the greatest scam ever foisted on the American people. Countless millions of idiots voting for other idiots based on nothing but feelings and misogyny, all in service of the further downward spiral of this country. I can’t even begin to imagine where we could be right now if the decision…
Yeah, this doesn’t have anything to do with half of the hashtags she used. How is related to being transgender? I don’t think a transman’s penis would look like this and a penis is the last thing a transwoman would want representing her. It doesn’t really have anything to do with being genderfluid. It’s just another…
In a phallocentric, patriarchal society where “no one cares about your boner” is a popular (and, alas, extremely necessary) refrain, I think I can do without my eyes being assaulted by the granddaddy of all unsolicited dick pics, thanks.
As for this:
Why are men so desperate to disappoint two women at the same time?
I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…
My husband and I were talking during the #metoo weekend and I ended up connecting some dots on experiences that absolutely were harassment but I’d written off as just the way things are.
I believe he did it and I also believe he doesn’t remember it. Our culture allows and excuses this kind of behavior. To be honest, I don’t think I can recall every time a stranger has grabbed my ass (but a celebrity has never done it so maybe I’d remember that). It’s not excusable, it’s uncomfortable at best. But it’s…
This whole “This is not who I am” thing put forward by so many of these creeps is making me blind with rage. By definition, if you engaged in this behavior, it IS WHO YOU FUCKING ARE!
I really wish people would stop denigrating the Joker like this. The Joker is: highly intelligent, well dressed, thin, and often quite eloquent. Also if we’re talking Dark Knight, Joker’s also smart enough to ditch the sleazy Russian gangster.
I had a few scary encounters with Japanese men who were likely pretty innocent but had no sense of how creepy they were coming off, but this sounds really creepy. I wonder if he’s repeating the story of the odd foreign woman who kept demanding a toilet...
Ok, I love this time of year, so forgive the new account, but I wanted to tell the story my grandmother told me. I can’t vouch for it completely, but she’s a very no-nonsense woman and I’ve never caught her in a lie (besides maybe how many martinis she’s had). Anyway, we’ll call her Betty. Betty grew up in Kansas in…
Love this feature when I discovered it last year! I wrote something up in preparation for this Halloween:
