Something is happening. I had a quick trip to Sundance this year and women I’ve known for years, who’ve never been able to get their films much attention, are getting standing ovations. Women I’ve known who are hardened by the system broke down yesterday. It’s nuts. I’m seeing some attention on women-centric projects…

I mean...I was under the impression that you can interact romantically with another person without harassing or assaulting them. I was sure that it had happened to me several times in my life, but maybe I was wrong?

You belong in the Bad Place.

How many Tide Pods has she eaten?

Hows that bubble going anyway? ready to burst yet?

Oh my god how did switching to Kinja make the AV Club this dumb. Oh my god. You have 11 favorites. What is wrong with the universe.

“Progressive” has an actual definition and supporting imperialism and extrajudicial killing (which is a war crime, even by our own laws) doesn’t fit into it. That’s the issue. I’m not talking about getting into someone’s head. If someone says that they support extrajudicial killing, I believe them. I’m not pretending…

You’re acting like a cop, cop. Fuck off.

don’t be a pushy date-rapist and you won’t have a problem.

I’ll be honest: I really don’t give a shit what his intentions were. Maybe in his heart he thought he was being super extra careful about civilians. Based on things that have been, you know, actually reported about it (as opposed to things you and I would LIKE to think about him) I don’t particularly buy that. There’s…

So maybe stop being pushy then.

Drone strikes? That’s the hill you’re willing to fight and die on? Do the planes have to be piloted?

Fuck off, cop.

i dont wanna be the lefty gatekeeper here but if you can’t keep it together enough to consistently oppose the slaughter of thousands of women and children on behalf of the fossil fuel industry just because obama is a charming celebrity then yeah. you suck at leftism, are a hypocrite, don’t understand your own…

Being “sexually assertive” with someone who isn’t consenting to it is rape, champ.

So that incredibly detailed story along with his confirmed phone number and apology isn’t enough? She needs to be outed and have people know who she is simply because she had the audacity to tell someone that Aziz Ansari engaged in sexual misconduct with her? Gross.

What matters a little less is whether what he did was “misconduct.” I’m leaning toward he’s kind of a pushy asshole, not a date-rapist.

It’s just a simplified term used as code for the larger issue (unaccountable murder, often of civilians). But I think you know this and are just being purposefully dense.

I’m glad there’s finally a dude willing to be the arbiter of when women can feel like a guy acted inappropriately.
