I love Lana Del Rey’s music, and I don’t care who knows it. Judge me all you want.

I dated two men who lived in Lefferts Gardens and based on what I experienced there, I thought it was entirely plausible too.

As a Jewish man and NYC resident, I am ashamed to say that I assumed it was an orthodox/hassid man driving a minivan before I read the article. Similar thing happened to my cousin on a bike near the park. heard numerous other similar stories anecdotally.

ETA I believe I initially misread your comment. To your point, I agree that working within a misogynist system that uses up women and spits them out is going to end up with a lot more Rose McGowans than Jennifer Lawrences. But far be it from me to judge the women who navigated it successfully and came out the other…

Right. Women have ownership of the historically most valuable natural asset (if you can call pussy an asset) and men have created entire industries around shaming women out of utilizing, monetizing, or otherwise benefiting from that ownership.

I’ve always just assumed that she and Gwyneth both did what they had to do to get where they wanted, and it doesn’t make him less horrible or them less likable.

I was just thinking about J Law relative to Weinstein when I remembered what a massive push there was for her post-Winter’s Bone. She’s obviously beautiful and talented but I had definitely thought...this is the exact same come-up quite a few of Harvey’s girls have had.

I know that’s kind of a “thing” to dislike Jennifer Lawrence at the moment, but I genuinely like her. It must have been so strange for her to be dragged into the Weinstein allegations as a defender when she obviously hates him. Imagine having to come up with a proper soundbite decrying his actions off the cuff with no…

Don’t feel bad, this dude is holding a bunch of comments hostage in the greys just because he got called out en masse and is now clearly embarrassed.

If you really can’t understand the concept of media created for private vs. public consumption, then I can’t even begin to help you with your deficiencies, moral or developmental.

For some women it’s about empowerment through saying no to values that have been pushed as a girl’s only path to being treated decently.

...so because it wouldn’t be personally empowering for you, it can’t be for someone else?

I think a lot of it is rooted in misogyny. Kind of a “women should be seen, not heard.” mindset. Some women are guilty perpetuating this as well.

it’s not about you man. No one cares what you think a woman should or should not do. And just to add for good measure, no one cares about your boner.

“I wouldn’t feel empowered doing that.”

Think of it as getting over one’s own fears. Like going skydiving when you’re afraid of heights, let alone flying.

She gave consent to have her tits appear in the movie, therefore you stealing the movie is merely theft, not sexual assault.

As a guy, I honestly don’t care how you feel...

Was this really a comment you thought would be enriching to the conversation and you just had to post it? She’s clearly not saying “if you like boobs, go see this movie,” so do you hate this actress that much that you’re compelled to declare it in response to every single fluff piece about her? I’m not enamored with…

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but I don’t understand how people like oysters when they’re slimy and taste like ocean water. I would not enjoy eating them. They don’t make sense to me. Whenever I see people eating them it confuses me. How someone could enjoy them is weird to me.
