Fuck, I still feel occasional guilt about being mean to a former roommate in college who tried to screw us out of rent because I realize in hindsight she was struggling with depression. I’m about Parker’s age, it happened when I was 21. About once a year she floats into my mind and I regret not being more…

And Oh My God culture has not shifted THAT much on rape since 1996. We are not talking 1896 here.

His “preserving the Black man” statement a few years ago, after he should have been woke, right? Nope. I remember reading about that statement, and telling myself - well, fuck him - the mainstream media didn’t pick up on that though / business as usual I guess. As a gay male, I will not back up homophobic artists. I’m…

I hate all this “new definition” of consent crap. Sex without consent has always been rape, it’s just that people are becoming more willing to acknowledge that now.

I’m the exact same age he is and I certainly knew when I was 19 that passed out drunk women weren’t consenting to sex. This interview is disgusting.

He’s a lying shitbag who doesn’t care about the woman at all. He just wants his Hollywood payday to continue. His talking about the rape now is because the studio wants him to help his future box office sales and “clear” up lingering things. This woman he raped is of no consequence to him at all.

How many Black men you know that are talking about gender?

Being a woman in 2016 if very different, imagine being a woman 20 years ago, and when we talk about consent, maybe 20 years from now we’ll know things about consent and examine it from a different perspective than we are now.

I called a couple of sisters that know that are in the space that talk about the feminist movement and toxic masculinity, and just asked questions. What did I do wrong?

Parker also admitted that when he wrote the initial Facebook post, a whole two weeks ago, he, “never took a moment to think about the woman.”

I WAS looking forward to seeing it.

I have really conflicted feelings about this because, on the one hand, fuck Nate Parker but on the other Nat Turner’s story is so important. There is obviously a part of me that wants this movie to fail because we shouldn’t support rapists but there’s also a part of me that wants this movie to succeed because maybe if…

Yeah, it’s like Polanski films. I am sure, as a film, the Pianist was well deserving of an Oscar, but I’m never going to find out, because all I could think about while I watched it is how the man who made it raped a young girl, got away with it, and doesn’t give a shit.

Also he’s pretty much admitting to the rape here:

Not even getting a girl to say yes! He’s basically saying as long as she wasn’t actively resisting he’d go for it. Which, it turns out, IS STILL RAPE.

“Parker also admitted that when he wrote the initial Facebook post, a whole two weeks ago, he, “never took a moment to think about the woman.”

I’ve heard it’s a good movie.

Don’t you think it’s more likely the poor woman thought the door was latched when it wasn’t? In a lot of airplane bathrooms the light doesn’t come on until the door is shut and latched. So unless she was sitting in the dark, she probably thought the door was latched. If she was sitting in the dark, she likely…

I’m always incredulous that this stupid show is so popular with the Jez community, considering it stars repeated abuser Terrence Howard.

Over-reliance on shade can be a bit of a boner killer. Like, I can’t get a boner from staring at you if my eyes are spending most of the time I’m around you rolled up into the back of my head.
