Came for this! Jesus.

No sorry, I was having comprehension problems as I didn’t quite get who the woman was that was uncomfortable and who the man was (at first). also wan’t sure which part was the sarcasm

“I am as straight as a straight woman gets, and I would totally pick Janelle Monae over Usher, for sure”

Yes. Thank you for pointing this out, that there is no connection whatsoever between “brain illness” and “immoral”

Thank you :)

“in an effort to be more accepting of people with mental illness some are acting as if it excuses everything.”

Black or charcoal suits for men...females should wear yellow, gold, magenta, cyan, but avoid red, blue or purple.”

I think it comes down to approach. In the U.S. we have come to associate masculinity with dour colors and sensible suits. That’s our cultural baggage. Only performers buck this trend. In many other cultures men wear fine fabrics, bright colors and beautiful patterns. A drag king could be as captivating as a drag queen

She is right about lesbians being less visible, but I think this passage explains better why drag queens are more captivating: “Performing femininity is arguably seen as more exciting than masculinity, in large part because people can’t conceptualize masculinity as being a performance. When we think of what it means

First of all, screw the person who wrote those clothing choices.

I’m on the publicist’s side here, definitely. I agree that it’s part of Rich’s job to ask the question but it is certainly the publicist’s job to shut it down. Christina’s only job is to sell the movie. Complaining that she didn’t do more than what she was exactly there to do, and then writing up this blame-y article,

I don’t understand it, but i dig it.

Huh. My neutral take on this is that you were damn near out of time anyway (sounds like about 9 minutes were up of the allotted 10) and this publicist (who’s charged with generating publicity for the The Strangers movie) starts shutting it down b/c time was running out and ain’t nobody there to talk about Mad Men.

The funniest part is how clever they think they are. “Im gonna go to the press! Take that Muller!”

I almost wrote “hilarious” (and now I just did), but the appropriate response is: perfect. That’s the correct treatment of at least that piece, and this and numerous other of Juzwiak’s stories. He misuses words frequently, his tone is ill-suited to the subject matter, and he sometimes reads as if he’s writing long

I totally agree. She was under the assumption she was going to talk about her movie. If she starts talking about harassment and accusations and answers certain questions for one person but not for anyone else, then the writer could label it as some sort of “exclusive” or some “official statement”.

You matter and so does your voice and your story. I hope you share your experience for both awareness for others and for healing for you.

As a woman, I’d like to hear more stories from men and appreciate those who are brave enough to talk about they felt/still feel from the abuse, but understand why you’d feel uneasy. Maybe moving away from using the hashtag and just talking about your experience is a start. I have had men tell me about being

As a man with his own #metoo experiences I don’t know what is appropriate with the movement. On the one hand I want to show women who have been harassed and assaulted that they are not alone. On the other hand I don’t want to take the focus away from the women (who have had it way worse for much longer).

Maybe instead of posting on every single article here they could join me over in the male dominated spaces like reddit where I’m trying to convince young men who are only hearing MRA propaganda that women aren’t their enemy. That might be a lot more helpful than cluttering up a woman’s interest site with things
