I am not good at recognizing if people are stoned but . . . is he stoned?

I think you put that very well. I recognize that the piece was more about how the game is played in Hollywood than the guy himself (which is why he shouldn’t have responded) but at the same time cringe about how it must feel to have everything from your childhood ringworm anecdotes to your major career setbacks be…

While I do hope these women get better lives for themselves, to use the words of Three Billboards, “You joined the gang.” The Catholic Church has written the subservience of women to men into its official guidelines since the beginning.

I think he quit Twitter but not all social media. Then he came back to team up with Amber Tamblyn in skewering James Woods.

Is it weird that Meggusta claimed, “hmm, no, because women handle emotions much differently,” like it was a fact? And, if it is a fact, “women handle their emotions without committing violent crimes,” is just a long way of saying “women are better than men.”  

Oh, I agree with you there. I just think that it would have been smarter publicity-wise to not respond.

I’m developing an affection for Armie Hammer’s exceptionally poor Twitter game. It’s like someone stuffed a cranky horny grandpa into a movie star’s body.

Reminds me of the pick-up artist blogs who commiserated that if only the guy who shot up a gym full of women could have gotten a date he wouldn’t have killed anyone. Are they really saying that a guy who abuses or kills women deserved to have *more* female affection? Couldn’t we also consider the idea that women fled…

That is a good point. Does a woman abused by a boyfriend generally enjoy beating the shit out of her next boyfriend? Does a female rape victim generally go on to rape men?

Women like a bad man: “Why do women always go for assholes who treat them badly? Ugh. There’s no point being a nice guy.”

Women don’t like a bad man: “If women were nicer to him he probably wouldn’t have done what he did!”

Phantom Thread? Old hat. Whereas Female Spy Uses Sex Wiles to Manipulate Men/Woman Is Toughened Up Through Horrific Sexual Abuse movies are always fresh.

One word: Gorsuch. But Hilary is just the same as Trump. Fuck it. Vote third party. What could it hurt?

I remember reading an author who talked about how diaphragms in the 1950s used to come with applicators because some women couldn’t stand touching themselves “down there.” I couldn’t say whether they still do, but she said the applicators were incredibly hard to use. I think tampons having applicators comes from that…

I believe Bill Clinton was more to blame, but let’s face it, Lewinsky didn’t exactly entirely lose out. Book deals, paid interviews, tv shows—she has made a good living. In a way, Vanity Fair is engaging in exactly the kind of sexual favoritism that’s unethical. There are a lot of qualified people who could have…

Just for the record, Bill Clinton is a shitheel and shouldn’t have been president. That being said, an employee and an employer can have a consensual relationship. They can even have an ethical relationship, if the employer is very careful to both make it clear the employee has no obligation to initiate a relationship…

She was not coerced into a relationship.

Agreed. Hell, if you don’t know right from wrong and can’t consent to sex and have to fall in love, romantic and sexual love, with the President, well, you shouldn’t have the right to work at the White House. What should we raise the age to? Twenty-five? Thirty? How old are we going to go before we can say that people…

No. Employee-employer relationships are NOT the same as an adult fucking a child. Yes, they have complicated power dynamics and the onus is on the more senior person to not only take responsibility for respecting free consent but also make sure their treatment of other employees is fair and equitable. This makes such…

It’s funny because you think you can self-righteous your way into being correct.
