“I will get a lot of flak for this (full disclosure, white man about to agree with other richer white man) but I get what Matt Damon is trying to say, he just said it poorly.”

Al Franken’s behavior fall under the realm of sexual misconduct. It’s an appropriate term, and it makes sense for them to get grouped under that term together when talking about the current culture. I haven’t heard anyone say rape and butt grabbing are the same thing, but there’s a lot of people getting upset when…

I imagine the price that he’s paid at this point is so beyond anything that he—

I believe the persecution complex goes something like: “Those girls are total sluts, they sleep around with all of the in-dudes so they can get a leg up, and all they care about is looks! They’re so shallow and slutty. If they were sincere, good people, and took a second to see how good and genuine and funny I am,…

Also women are also bullied in high school! And ignored by boys (which hurts when we swing that way)! And struggle with anxiety/depression!

I’m sorry you’re terrified of convenience stores.

I don’t know what city you are in or what the bodegas are like where you are, but I cannot agree on a single one of those points:

you think Bodegas are ...“terrifying?” I’m going to need you to elaborate what it is about bodegas that gives you anxiety.

As opposed to a tiny box of random pre-selected shit that will come with an even higher markup? Yeah.

“Terrifying to go into”?

You’re a weak person who should stay out of cities, then.

It’s from Witches of Eastwick and honestly I’ve never read it (love the movie) so I can’t speak to the context. But it illustrates your point regardless.

I’m, personally, tired of men telling female stories because women are often denied the opportunity to do it due to gatekeeping. Why should men be the ones to control the narrative in everything? Especially since men tend to push a rather misogynistic narrative in their works.

Some men write women very well. Very few men in Hollywood do.
