Exactly. Infantilizing women is not fucking helpful.

Not especially trying to pick on you, and I understand searching for signs of goodness to cope with this political reality, but I feel like there are other, more useful sources of hope in the world.

You know, as someone who is trying to become a lawyer and doesn’t have any inheritance to lose, I know exactly how much money it costs to go to law school and how hard it is to do without a wealthy dad to bankroll you.

Yeah. I normally dislike the emphasis we put on things like GPA and LSAT scores since they’re not as good a proxy for performance as people like to think, but I’d love to know hers.

She and Ivanka were likely coached to keep from engaging in affection with him because of the stories swirling around Trump about the sexual comments he’d made re: his daughters’ bodies, even when they were babies.

She spoke at the RNC for him. She supported his candidacy frequently.

Why do you think that? Tiffany has stumped for her dad too. I don’t understand why we keep giving Trump daughters the benefit of the doubt. They’re very wealthy adults with real options, but who have chosen to support their terrible father’s candidacy and administration.

I don’t get why people want so badly to think Trump’s kids are decent people. They’ve done nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt people give them.

My point is neither of them suffered any career recourse for this incredibly juvenile and selfish display.

Professionalism is important, for some people. I guess not white men though, because we have incredibly lax standards for their behavior and performance.

I’m at work and being paid by my boss to act. I am asked to wear a hat, but I am insubordinate to my boss by refusing because of my own personal sports allegiances, thereby needlessly importing myself into the character I’m being paid to play (who is not me). By doing this I am costing a lot of people time and money…

I could never, in a million years, get away with throwing a tantrum like that. And I am paid much less than Affleck. It’s unprofessional and immature and I wouldn’t blame the director for not giving in if only to avoid setting that precedent.

Unprofessional for the director to keep a character, based on a bestselling and beloved book no less, intact. But not unprofessional for the actor to throw a tantrum about wearing a ball cap that he doesn’t like?

Oh was he playing himself in that movie? I could have sworn it was fictional WHO KNEW?!

UM. WHAT.

Oh. my. god.

Whoa is this true? I am endlessly fascinated by men getting away with bratty behavior. I make one typo at work and beat myself up about it for days. I can’t imagine behaving this way.

Yeah I feel like hitting/biting/cutting make more sense because the cause/effect are clearer, but strangulation seems more... sophisticated? That they understand/manipulate airways and the importance of oxygen supply is ind of surprising to me.

Hang on though why was the kangaroo doing that to the dog!? The idea that a kangaroo -or really any animal - can know to strangle another animal creeps me out.
