Drag queens don’t prepare for shows or market themselves any more than other performers. There are millions of bands, comedians, and other performers spending hours and hours preparing for shows where they get little to no pay. Most of them perform in bars that are barely scraping by as it is. Nobody is paying the…

Totally agree. I was pretty shocked to see that the number 1 comment on this feminist website was someone saying, “fuck her” for essentially speaking truth. Good for Ellen and fuck all the people commenting on her “ego.” This is why we can’t have nice things.

lmao part of me really wishes HamNo had written this just to read him railing on about the need for collective bargaining rights for death drops being covered under socialized health insurance

You have zero experience to know what it means to be Number 1 on the call sheet. You have zero clue as to the dynamics of working on a set. Sit down, and do your homework as to how the day-to-day of being a working actor actually works before typing again.

It is fascinating to see all the male regulars around here posting that Pompeo is terribly gauche for hurting Dunaways feelings. So many knights in shining armor saving women from themselves! I mean don’t get me wrong, that comment probably stung Dunaway like a motherfucker, but it isn’t Pompeo who took the money out…

Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”

I feel like you’re missing the point. The comment came from respect. She named someone she feels should have all the power and money she can handle. She isn’t calling out Dunaway she’s calling out a patriarchal power structure that has left one of the greatest actors of her generation without any real financial or…

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

I’ve been casting about in my memory all day, trying to remember an article that was as vile and vapid, and point-circumventing as the #ButReallyItsAboutTheMethodMan! garbage that spewed for far too many paragraphs this afternoon. Is Aziz Ansari really that beloved? Because I cannot fathom why this is a bridge too far…

I’m with you. I could barely even finish that awful article today, so stomach-twisting were the justifications and aboutfaces. I’m keeping hashtag itsaboutethicsinsexualassaultjournalism.

You know, judging by the complete travesty of a #itsaboutethicsinsexualassaultjournalism article y’all published today, maybe this editorial board should listen to Matt fucking Damon of all people and take a seat for a bit. Because the very quote you castigated him for is eerily similar to the sentiments expressed in…

Can we cancel Alec Baldwin already? I don’t care how good his Trump impression is and I love Beetlejuice as much as the next person but ugh.

Oh, Woody Allen was investigated “forensically.” Well darn. Now I feel bad for listening to his victims.

on a serious note, perhaps it’s the fact that so many people are like, “I’ve experienced this or done this” that should make it self-evident as to why they’d want to post a story like this? No one is even disputing the facts, they’re “outraged” that she FELT a way about it, and defending Aziz’s actions because they’ve…

“ ...Babe came to Grace raises questions about the website’s eagerness to tell this kind of story and why” I KNOW. It’s like Babe wants to try and seek out stories where women who generally are ignored or derided by mainstream feminist sites will be heard!!!! un-fucking-believable.

No! We can’t hold the man accountable! He is like woque and shit! That poor man!

Educate yourself about why your take is so shitty.

I have done a considerable amount of research on Pick Up Artists and the techniques they use. Everything about this story ticked the boxes of a Pick Up Artist “Escalation”.
