Tarantino has been the closest to at least appearing to take responsibility. If my inner cynic didn’t think he’s trying to head off reports about him that may come out, I’d almost be impressed with his self examination.

True. Also while he’s not as progressive at least he is what he is rather than all these other men in the industry who’ve tried to paint themselves as progressive but their responses have revealed their true colours.

Indeed.

We’re in a world where so far the only male in Hollywood who’s admitted the truth, that they (and likely everyone) knew but personally chose to do nothing because greed, and given anything resembling an apology is Tarantino, a man not exactly known for being “progressive”.

It’s why you’ve got some of them worried about a “witch hunt” i.e. the investigation going from Weinstein to Hollywood in general.

Yeah, James. All thirty-eight women are lying because you have diabetes. We believe you, despite your constant movies about guys who like to manipulate women.

This is the real reason Weinstein got away with it for so long. In ordinary circumstances, his many enemies (directors, producers and studios he has shafted) would have conspired to take him down years ago. The only reason they didn’t ditch this asshole who by all accounts is detested is because they didn’t want to…

But a man who’s likely soon going to be also added to the list told us that Polanski has suffered enough for not being punished for being a paedophile. /s

Dubya was not very smart and made many a bad decision.

I miss every one of them, tbh. I never in my life until now worried about the country getting into a nuclear war. Or America losing all its allies and turning authoritarian. Or lots of other stuff. W wasn’t too smart but he never tried to destroy American government and divide its citizens over ramped up bullshit,…

but don’t the hungry pigs deserve better?

He’s spent 1/3 of his time as President at a property owned by him. WTF?!

“Instead, I’d wager that this was a thinly veiled attempt to feel vindicated for being rejected according to Hollywood’s ‘impossible standard of beauty.’”

Nearly everything Mayim writes is sprinkled with this deep-rooted decades old insecurity over her looks. Her piece reads almost resentful that these gorgeous women, who she’s never been able to live up to, have always gotten more male attention than her. That’s coupled with this smugness that those same looks that get…

You should read up on what he said to fattie Jill Scott when she was pregnant. Long story short, it’s about control and domination.

I think LaineyGossip said something very astute about the whole thing. They said something to the effect of Blossom stays mad that her career is a non factor based on how she looks. The article isn’t really about sexual assault it’s about her re airing her hurt. Which is obvious, but here is where lainey turns it.

Mayim has bugged me for years - I appreciate that she’s a successful woman in STEM, but she’s still super-overprivileged crunchy granola lady who comes off as being really judgey, particularly when it comes to Things Domestic, like raising kids. Like, I don’t even *want* kids, and her op-eds about co-sleeping and…

As a victim of sexual abuse, rape and systematic harassment in the workplace I didn’t feel she was blaming me.

I didn’t necessarily disagree with her reading of this particular predator until she started in on the modest dressing as deterrent bit. Harvey Weinstein is a guy who shows his worth to others through his possessions. He narrows down his victims to those who will “impress” similar men of his ilk. He wouldn’t dream of…

Despite having a handle on the interplay of power and dominance involved in sexual relations I have always had a hard time understanding the mentality of a rapist. I too enjoy the sensation of power and control during sex but I prefer to achieve that by providing pleasure rather than pain. For me knowing that I can…
