It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

So he didn’t like it? But he didn’t watch it? This definitely makes me wonder about other shows with feminist messages that got canceled. Was it about the actual show itself or the misogynistic studio head not liking the message?

Literally just said this to a friend. Some men feel they’re “one of the good ones” because they aren’t out there grabbing pussies or calling women “bitches” to their faces but if they aren’t calling out the men in their lives who are doing this, or just even telling a guy that it’s not cool to make a gross, sexist…

Any man that knows that your coworker doesn’t respect boundaries and hasn’t had a talk with him is complicit and full of shit. I’m so fed up with men allowing this shit for the sake of their bro alliance/brotherhood/patriarchy/being cowards. I’m really sorry you have to deal with this shit and it’s all on you.

It makes every other time you speak out when it’s not someone you know or who are friends with ring totally hollow and eventually become meaningless. When there’s no personal stakes for you it’s easy, when it affects you and makes you particularly uncomfortable because that person is a friend of coworker is when it is…

I cried almost all night last night because a coworker did/said 2 inappropriate things to me in the span of 2 weeks. He was someone I liked, I found harmless and nice and still don’t feel threatened by, just disgusted and humiliated. I took a mental health day today to figure out how to report him. He’s been with the…

Yes! Guys, take notes, if you were looking for a way to help, this is it. This is literally it! Speak out when it happens AND speak out even when it’s someone you know and like.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.…

Yeah I’m one of the grad students that would need to pay about 13k of my 29k stipend in taxes under this plan, because they count tuition as income. It blows. It’s not like I can drop out of grad school and “keep” that 50k in tuition money—it never touches my bank account. The university pays the money from itself to…

Agree totally. Aside from being an abject failure as a businessman, (I live in NJ, so I know all about his failed casino ventures) he has no finesse, can’t read social cues, or ignores them if he does, and is a complete and pernicious disaster diplomatically.

You can be positive that Xi Jinping, Shinzo Abe and numerous other leaders will be coached by the best profilers money can buy, before they sit down with the President of the United States. They’ll have a detailed psych profile of Trump worked up and kept up to date. They probably hold some mock negotiations with…

They profit on desperation. If you look at their target market, they’re women who either can’t work a traditional career path or believe they can’t. That’s why there are so many military spouses and SAHMs.

Cons typically work because there’s a legitimate need at their heart.

once they have inventory, it’s theirs to sell, so when they sell, they actually get the money to keep as they are already in the hole (although they have to pay back the debt first). Yes, I am enabling her, but she either has to sell the stuff at a discount or sell it full price to get rid of it and I bought it full…

I never understood the complete adoration that many full grown adults have toward all things Disney. Underneath it all they are ruthless corporate bullies just like many other huge companies. And here in LA they are notorious for underpaying their employees in all departments/divisions.

I’m so glad Disney shot themselves in the foot over this. So many people would never have learned about the Anaheim stuff if Disney hadn’t gone all Darth Vader on the L.A. Times. They deserve to eat shit for this ban, and I hope too that the Anaheim stuff blows up in their faces.

Hopefully if Talese ever gets busted for anything disgusting, he won’t pull a Kevin Spacey and bring up the fact that he’s Gay in his apology for no good reason.

Exactly.

Jesus Christ - send that reporter to Florida - those bastards own this area and basically have their own city-state like the fucking Vatican. They keep incomes artificially low because the jobs are judged “seasonal” and “entry level” for new workers entering the labor force (young people) - which they are NOT.

With Disney’s plans to buy 20th Century Fox now coming into public, this particular spat is indicative of the real danger of giving them even more power. It’s one thing to blacklist a critic for a particular review the critic wrote or because you have issues with how the other critic specifically acts.
