‘What we really need is focused, considered examination of this social problem as opposed to what we’re seeing quite a lot of and what makes headlines and what sells newspapers: emotionally led, impulsive statement, which is gobbled up by people with phones. And consequently, the issue that’s at the heart of it will…

I think he might be saying social media exacerbates responses. He might be observing the catch-22 of its immediacy. On one hand, it’s beneficial because it draws in communities in need. You can easily gather around a cause. What’s the flip side of that? The story can be hijacked by a Twitter feud, a blocked Instagram…

Also, as far as sabotaging, one can already seen signs of it. Every woman that comes out after this has been branded as someone looking for fame and fortune.

Part of me thinks this ‘health matter’ could just be a cover for Singer laying low ahead of even more damning harassment/assault allegations.

Has anyone ever seen the Backstreet Boys documentary? It’s actually pretty good, but I believe I remember Nick Carter being a total asshole the majority of the time. He just seemed angry about everything. So reading about the accusations against him...I wasn’t really surprised.

He really grosses me out. I can’t believe Rachel Weiss was with him and had kids with him.

I imagine Darren would respond to a breakup the same way here responded to the critics who hated Mother.

You keep saying this, but can you explain how cheating removes bodily control for the victim? I’m just totally confused by this line.

No offence but that’s a little nonsensical. So if a woman cheats she’s abusing the man, or do you only apply your abuse logic to men cheating on women?

How does cheating on someone remove the person’s ability to control how their body is used?

Affairs are different from abuse.

Let’s stop conflating infidelity with abuse and assault. Infidelity is bad enough, no need to make shit up to try to make it worse.

Mmm. Aidan Turner...

The Christmas Christie remakes are almost always excellent (And Then There Were None last year was superb).

Groping people, like masturbating in front of them, is not “flirty”, it’s assault. Those who are worried that they “can’t speak to women” anymore without getting accused of assault, laminate this and carry this in your wallet.  

Not Cox’s/Arquette’s story to tell- it’s the person concerned’s right to publicly disclose or not.

Do NOT ruin that song for me

“I will be your father figure (don’t) put your tiny hand in mine”

Hottest of all takes: Taylor’s album would be 10x better if it were about Snowpiercer instead of Joe Alwyn.

My horror story: I’m at least a few hundred stories in and the page randomly refreshed.
