I mostly agree with you, and I especially think any comments or actions directly pointed at her are unwarranted and unproductive to say the least. As far as we know she's done nothing illegal nor publicly said anything distasteful.

However, it gets a little grey for me when I start to think of this situation as a…

Aww, I thought that too!

Right or wrong, she was tactless, and it hurt her career. She's been successful following both incidences, but based on her criticism, I can't imagine she's successful in the way she'd like to be (she's hardly had any substantive acting roles in recent years).

She accepted both roles and agreed to work with both…

Especially when she brought Isaiah Washington back for a guest role. He reportedly made homophobic comments, reportedly got into a physical altercation with a fellow cast member, and definitely gave disgruntled interviews after leaving the show.

To preface: I don't really have a very strong opinion of Katherine Heigl one way or another. But I do really like John Mulaney, so I gave his sitcom a shot (sigh, but that's a story for another day). Here's what Nasim Pedrad's character said in the pilot:

"People like it when a man's crazy. We have recordings of…

Without a doubt, you're right about the "dude you've never spoken to" portion, but even as a kid, I always viewed the rest of it differently. I always saw it as a girl who felt out of place, and everyone (even those you loved her) just wanted her to behave and be nice and go along with things, because "that's the way…

There are valid arguments both ways, but for me what was amazing about these early 90s Disney princess movies as a child that I miss as an adult was the fact that they featured fully developed female characters as both protagonists and antagonists. Both boys and girls loved them, and no one made too big a deal about…

I completely understand what you're saying, but the reason it's so touchy to bring topics like that up and the reason "we aren't allowed to say" these things is because historically they're used to derail the conversation and turn a victim into a participant. We're not yet at a point where a large percentage of people…

I don't think anyone said it was a family wedding for sure, but either way, she has a million good reasons to not invite him including if she just didn't want to go with him.

I'm not saying she's wrong or even remotely that he's right. I was just saying that as I went down the list, I think not getting invited to an…

Oh no, I'm really sorry if it sounded like a) I thought she should have invited him or b) I was defending him at all.

She shouldn't have invited him. She was right not to do so. I should have explained that post was my thought process as I went down the list. Based on the title, I started reading with the expectation…

I don't think she's wrong for not inviting him in the least. My thought process going down the list was "well... maybe someone could be hurt by this without it being unreasonable." Not a valid reason for a breakup, but not the craziest thing to get hurt feelings over.

But by the time I got to #4 (which it only got…

Exactly! It started off a little childish, but people get like that when they're hurting.... At #4, though, he starts revealing what a clingy and controlling jerk he is, which in retrospect makes both #1 and #2 unreasonable.

#3 holds water, but I don't trust his judgement enough to believe it.

Totally. The way he words it, it sounds like she had someone else escort her which still seems normal - She probably invited a friend a million years ago when she had to RSVP. This was more my stream of thought as I went down the list. Two items in, I could understand where not being included might bum someone out.…

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. This guy has only been with her a little under 2 months, and (as you said) he deems anything above 3 to be "unacceptable," so that is awful.

But if you're dating seriously, I don't think it's wrong to ask. It's not a given that the question will be asked, but I don't…

I think it's more in context to this situation. It's not whether a guy (or girl) swears or not. It's if a guy (or girl) wants to conform your behavior to what he (or she) deems acceptable.

I think it's a way of saying "be yourself fully" and it will weed out the people who are incompatible as well as the people who…

#1: Eh, that sounds childish, but if he asked her to do it and she didn't have a solid reason not to, I can see where it might be viewed as suspicious. So maaaaybe.

#2: I think this is a legitimate thing to be bothered by. I had a similar situation that didn't even register on my radar until reading this, but it's not…

Your mom sounds cool.

The "men only believe other men" thing isn't really about any individual person being convinced just because a guy said it. It's more the idea that you (and I and many others) didn't hear about this when several women made public accusations and took legal actions, but one man mentions it in a…

I actually think there are a multitude of reasons why it's gaining attention now - some of them understandable, others indicative of issues in our society.

Yes, I do think there's a sexist element here - as many have said, society has an easier time believing a man than a woman (or women). But I think that's just one…

Oh awesome! Thank you! I'm going to check it out soon. : )

I think it's really easy for us as people to confuse our wants. I know a girl who had a rule that she would never ever date a guy if, even once, he didn't hold the door open for her. The problem with that was she was looking for a superficial indicator of the real thing she wanted: someone who is considerate. But it…
