“Male actors are paid more, have better contracts, and generally more say in what happens during a scene.”

Man, it’s gonna be one awkward moment if he turns out innocent. Thus far we have one semi believable and one less than believable accusation, and a word from a woman that supposedly had proof he was innocent that dialed it back. And from the sound of his response, he sounds confident enough that he can prove libel.

Well as others have pointed out, it’s because the industry absolutely requires women.

Fuck yeah, I would have run up and danced around that cute, but very atmospheric, dust devil (probably even sober, on a good day).

Calling that thing a tornado is an insult to tornados everywhere.

I’d call that a Dust Devil more than a tornado.

Jesus, I needed a shower before the dirt devil showed up.

It’s not a tornado it’s a dust devil.

I do think the possible deception gets lost in this story, and probably rightfully so, but it is still an “interesting” element. Their is simply no excuse for killing this human. Having said that if, and we don’t know this to be true, the prostitue, (she’s not a bad person for being a sex worker) deceived him just to…

Transphobic? Not really.

At the risk of stereotyping both sides, I’d imagine that kind of thinking would be especially common in a hyper-masculine group like, oh, the US Marines?

Well, I figure being drunk & homophobic/transphobic & finding out they have been making out with someone who is not who they expected could be provoking. Not murderously, but provoking.

I definitely don’t mean this is a defense of the man - because he willingly committed this atrocity without anyone’s gun pointed at his head - but it has a lot to do with how strictly policed and ridig (no pun intended) male sexuality is. Any deviation from the norm (in this case, possible contact with a penis) is…
