#MeToo pioneer or #Douchebag pioneer?

Is the world so bereft of male talent that these few precious writers, comedians, directors, chefs, politicians, executives, judges, etc., etc., and of course etc. must be “rehabilitated” at all costs? Are their works so important, so poignant, so critical to our understanding of the human condition that to lose them…

“One of my female friends quips that I should get some kind of public recognition as a #MeToo pioneer. There are lots of guys more hated than me now. But I was the guy everyone hated first.”

Because it’s about power not sex. Sex is just the way to express a desire to put victims (usually women) in their place, or feel powerful, or whatever else. I never buy the oh I was just so turned on I couldn’t control myself excuse. Because I agree with you, people who are into it to be turned on and enjoy sex for…

I will never understand why men would want to have sexual activities with someone that is not into it.  Tears are the last thing that would keep me in the mood.

She was also arrested for trying to break into someone eles’s bank account  I am not saying she is lying about this but she does have a history of being a compulsive liar.

I’m betting that these are only the top 12 of the iceberg. Predators like this operate unchallenged for so long they just assume it's their right to keep taking. See also: Cosby, Weinstein

My worst breakup was with a boy who didn’t exist. In middle school, the last thing I wanted was to date but my mom was frequently accusing me of having a secret boyfriend. She’d barge into my room and wake me up at 3 AM just to question me/check if I was hiding a boy in my room. Finally, I got fed up with it all and…

I was a really plain kid. Had no idea how to do make-up or dress well. My friends all understood that stuff better than I and had far better dating luck than I did. In high school almost all of them had boyfriends at one time or another but I did not. I had crushes. Intense soul-consuming crushes with boys who largely…

Shape of Water was a fairy tale, and not even a middle of the road fairy tale. The writing was terrible, the characters were walking cliches/stereotypes, the pacing was uneven, and the entire concept is borderline ridiculous. The only thing going for it was that it has a prestigious director that the Academy felt bad…

Their “phenomenal rapport” sounds like the conversations I have with coworkers I don’t care about but have to pretend I do.

uuuugh I can see how people will love this, but as an art historian I am fully prepared to shit all over this. To paraphrase the great Hannah Gadsby: Vincent was a post-impressionist painting at the HEIGHT of post-impressionism, who spent years attempting to treat his mental illnesses successfully, and did so with…

Plus seeing sex workers would also be considered cheating on her husband, which I’m sure is something else she may not be proud of even if the relationship was falling apart. 

I don’t know if calling her time with sex workers a “dark time” that she doesn’t do anymore - I don’t know if that description disparages sex work necessarily. Saying you were having a dark time and seeing a therapist doesn’t disparage therapy work. Sexual healing is still healing. If people want to see a sex worker…

Attorneys can be sued for defamation in the course of representing a client if they make statements that go beyond the needs and bounds of the representation of their client.  Cases I’ve seen that deal with this usually involve attorneys who make ad hominem attacks against opposing counsel or parties (i.e., hurl…

Prior to this batch of stuff and the Katy Perry stuff being released (specifically her denying Dr. Luke assaulted her but the rumor being pushed by both Ke$ha’s team and Lady Gaga in order to increase the leverage Ke$ha had against Dr. Luke)- I would have thought the chances were almost non-existent and that this was…

There is a real strain of ignorance and whining on this site and others that is really annoying.

If this is the direction the movie goes in, it’s a disturbing one, implying that romantic love can be a salve for a worldview whose very foundation is the destructive lie of a “master race.”

This county is where I’m from, and this lady actually went to the same high school I did, albeit many years before me.
