“I have a tremendous respect for women.” The battle cry of men who don’t.

From E! News: A rep for Streep has told E! News that the 38-year-old article is not an “accurate rendering of that meeting. There was an offense and it is something for which Dustin apologized. And Meryl accepted that.”

Engaged in that behavior multiple times, with multiple women, over a long period of time at that.

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 have the utmost respect for women

TOOTSIE HOW COULD YOU????

Last guy that started speaking to me on the street, I think he got out 3 words like, “Hey, in the—” and I cut him off with “Hey, fuck off”. It was the end of the day, I was fucking sick of guys talking to me on the street, I was not going to do any polite silent-treatment.

You’re definitely not going to get an argument out of me.

Look, women don’t want random ass dudes invading their personal space uninvited. What else is there to discuss? There’s no middle ground here.

Women are autonomous human beings. They are not a thing to pick up and handle because you think they look good. They are not window displays advertising goods and services. You are not in a store and handling a product to see if you feel like buying it. You don’t get free samples.

No, this isn’t a grey area. When I met the man I’m now married to he was instantly attracted to me so he paid attention to me, smiled at me and basically made me feel as though everyone in the room had disapperared for him before finding an excuse to get my contact information and set up a date.What he didn’t do is…

I am sorry this happened to you. I can see it in your body language. It reminded me of when I met author Cleveland Amory. I got him to sign his book for me and afterward, when I went to shake his hand, he grabbed me, pulled me to him and kissed me on the mouth. In front of all those people waiting to talk to him.…

Put yourself in a woman’s shoes. You’re walking down the street minding your own business, and some random dude comes up to you and asks “How are you doing this morning”?

Here’s a life tip for you because apparently you’re not getting it: Women DO NOT like being asked out by random strangers on the street. THAT’S why it’s considered harassment. Because at the end of the day, we don’t know what that random stranger’s intentions are, and that “innocuous” request for a date might be an…

Yes. Down with space-invading octopi. In all contexts, actually. Hell is other people all up in your workspace.

I’m currently taking a break from red hair after almost 20 years, primarily because I’m goddamn sick of jackasses shouting “Hey, Red!” at me. I do not miss that. Don’t shout at strangers. Don’t call strangers weird nicknames. Think before you open your stupid pie hole.

I wish everybody would stop letting the other man written about in the article off the hook by focusing only on the one in the picture and stop focusing on just one person and stop pretending this mess is not as endemic as it is.

It’s not just Jesse, homeslice — as even the article points out (and I’ve seen at least two of you dudes already here in comments let Singleton off the hook; not even mention him. Why is that? Because he’s “cooler”? Younger? Easier to see yourselves in him than in an “old statesman” like Jesse Sr. and that makes you…

Ladies, please remember this. Doesn’t matter if the dude is a pastor, politician, president or police man...

Oh, Danielle :(
