Rodriguez knew what McGowan had been through when he wrote that scene for her. He admitted it:

and based on what i’ve seen / read / heard from amber, you know he’s getting told what’s what. good for her.

And the thing is...most of our husbands are assholes, too!! Most of our husbands have sexually harassed or made racist jokes. Most men have. We need to admit this and take it from there.

David Cross reminds me of when Liz Lemon goes to her high school reunion on 30 Rock. She doesn’t want to go because she was an awkward geek that nobody liked.

I will say this for the last time. Do not hold women accountable for the actions, decisions or words of their partners. Don’t. Do it.

This just solidifies my opinion that David Cross is an asshole, but not an abuser. It sounds like they have a really good relationship, those two. You can love somebody and still acknowledge their faults.

I’ve never been able to look at Louis CK the same way since the season of his show where he punched Yvonne Strahovski’s character in the face and tried to rape Pamela Adlon’s. I’m done with him.

People live for Kellyanne’s “zingers.” It doesn’t matter how hypocritical it makes her look. The whole conservative demographic is on TwitterBrain right now...only the present moment matters. Not history, not context, not probable consequences...just the delivery of the next burn.

Exactly. We don’t need to make up reasons to be annoyed by Gwyneth and her Goopiness.

Victims of these crimes in the workplace, or anywhere they occur, are not obliged to look inward and examine their commitment to feminism in order to combat them. Not conforming to conventional, commercial standards of beauty, or having healthy self-esteem, doesn’t protect one from sexual violence any more than being…

YES! Only good part was Pamela Adlon telling Louis he was being an idiot and a gross dad (In my headcannon she did this and then told him she would never work with him again lol). The thing about CK is that he is very funny and very smart. This film could be a “There Will Be Blood” take on the pedophilic/ predatory…

American Beauty, where she clearly has a lot issues and bases her self-worth entirely the attention men give her, and it’s all framed as sad/not right in the movie anyway? That’s all I can think of.

It’s classic male solipsism. They don’t see teenage girls as anything more than “forbidden fruit” objects of desire, so they can’t portray them in their movies as having any motivations or character traits beyond bouncing around seducing old men. This movie just looks like a particularly tone deaf and poorly timed…

Its disgusting on all levels. I remember when i was a kid and watching entrapment and when catherine zeta jones ends up with sean connery at the end i was like ewwwwwwwwwwww.

Seriously, this. So sick of it. As a 37 year old woman who is dating a lot of 20-somethings (because I’m too old for men my age, ha!), I’d love to see something original about that age gap that isn’t Harold and Maude levels of difference.

Yep. I’m sooooo tired of this narrative that young women are super into older dudes who could be their father/grandfather. I like John Malkovitch as an actor but he’s just not appealing, especially NOT to young women the age of Chloe Grace Moretz. Unfortunately it’s not helping that there are young women with massive…

YES. Sure, daddy issues exist and sure, some young women date older guys, but CHILDREN OF SCHOOL GOING AGE DO NOT WANT YOUR WRINKLY BALLS. And on the off chance that they’re riddled with issues and they do direct their tidal wave of hormones towards you, you are the adult man who should keep his grubby little fingers…

Seriously, by all appearances, this movie is peak Male Gaze. Like, HOLY CRAP SO MANY LAYERS OF MALE GAZE. I think he thinks he invented the angel/whore complex? I could probably go my whole life without hearing the musings of even one more ~overprotective dad~ and be just fine, thank you.

I can’t think of worse timing for a release about the sexual shadiness of a filmmaker, done by someone who has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, during a time rife with sexual misconduct throughout the entertainment industry.
