The 80s and 90s were a terrible and cynical time to grow up in. It’s a wonder we aren’t all monsters.

Oh, Jujy. It makes my heart swell when he gets asked which superhero he likes best and he says ‘Wonder Woman...and the PowerPuff Girls!’

I explained it in terms of power. ‘All throughout history, men have had the power. They have spread ideas that are wrong, like women not being smart enough, or only existing to stay at home and have babies, to stay in power. Women have to work twice as hard to have what men do. Men still want to stay in power. One way…

I get you, really. I thought how she handled the counter-suit/her day in court was awesome and important (and it made my respect for her grow). I just think there were other voices that were more important for breaking the silence, and it’s clear she’s there to sell clicks/copies, as I said before.

It really is changing. My 8-year-old son is a stone-cold feminist. I explained the concept of ‘male privilege’ to him over lunch the other day and he totally got it.

I’m irritated that Taylot Swift has to be on the cover to sell copies/clicks. I would almost rather see Ronan Farrow on there.

There is nothing about this that isn’t adorable!!

Interesting that ‘perks’ got across to him. I also think many wypipo grew up hearing ‘privilege’ associated to wealth and not in a positive way (like ‘Brad’s family is privileged, he goes to private school’, so there may be a gut ‘THAT’S NOT ME YOU DON’T KNOW ME’ reaction to hearing that word, especially if you’re…

I was just synthesising the Twitter comments. I think he looks hot.

He’s JACKED brah, the neck is weird, the balding, the weird pants and the tug on the weird pants. The internet apparently thought he still looks like our 2006 crush and this is a strange awakening.

Still totally would.

LOL!

Classic.

Now that I re-read it, it sounded way more callous than I intended it. I don’t wish heartache on any child, no matter how privileged. I apologise toy you and the two others who told me it was offensive.

True. We would hang them out to dry, either way - apology or no apology.

All of this. I really hope there won’t be another slew of Jezebel commentariat today writing embarrassing things like ‘But we need him’, and ‘He wasn’t really groping her breasts - the Kevlar was there!’

Very true! That is valuable, at least.

Oh, totally.

Am I the only one who would prefer all of these creeps NOT apologise? It’s not like anyone is gaining anything from the perfunctory ‘I’m sorry if anyone felt bad, I need to soul-search and realise how truly amazing I am - so amazing that I don’t need to rape!’

Of course it is rape. And her reaction - passing out from shock - is common in rape.
