The one line that pretty much let’s you know that Jewsishness is exploited:

I like to think that I notice a lot but I only noticed the whole Johnny-was-an-escort thing last year. And Dirty Dancing is in my top five favorite movies!

Same. But I’m marking it in my calendar so that I can read all of the vicious previews and reviews! It will make my entire lunch hour at my desk so much more delicious!

“Getting ready for my big foreign trip.” Seriously, “big”? Come on, “foreign”? JFC, is there anything that comes out of this guy’s mouth that doesn’t sound like the utterance of a fourth-grader?

They’re all poor! They have to work!

Anyone who watches this remake is dead to me.

Usually women do not gain anything when they accuse a man of rape so I tend to believe the victim.

Call me cynical, but yeah. I tend to suspect a lot of people self-identifying as non binary are tourists. Bowie wannabes.

Just stop thinking in terms of gender binary, and you will no longer be confused.

I’m just feeling nauseous reading through all this.

If the allegations are false, as Hopkins claims, then this will undoubtedly be used in the future as fuel for the “women accuse men of rape when they regret being a slut” argument.

If they’re true, then Hopkins will be used as ammunition that sexuality/gender identity…

Exactly, but figures this story would bring out the homophobic, queerphobic assholes. Can we ffs leave a person’s gender identity and sexual orientation out of it? Sex abusers can come in any/every stripe.

That idea that queer-identified men can’t or don’t sexually assault women is dangerous and short-sighted.

They identify as a genderqueer non-rapist, but they may have straight, consent-fluid sexual interactions.

OMG - I’m so uncool. I just saw the name of the band as gibberish. And now. Now I see it. Power Bottom. I’m old

Okay, that’s exactly how I read that too.

Sexuality is a spectrum.

Ben Hopkins is genderqueer, as I understand—they request the use of they/them pronouns. They sexually assaulted a woman. It is not disclosed whether the woman is trans or cis, straight or not.

I’ll believe it when I see it. The only 100% true thing Trump has ever said is that he could shoot someone in the middle of the street in broad daylight and not lose a single supporter. Even if it means he’s gone, then we’re stuck with Pence, and we just switch dystopias from The Purge to The Handmaid’s Tale.

NYT is saying comey left a paper trail of all the shit trump did or said in front of him so this really could be it but I wouldn’t get too excited.

I don’t think President Pence is particularly well acquainted with the concept of “liberty.”
