Makes me want to save a horse and fight a cowboy

“Today we no longer recognize the universal truth: that God is the author of our life and liberty. Abortion, sodomy, and materialism have taken the place of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Really, REALLY disturbing, this guy’s whole disgusting life. I just followed that KyCIR rabbit hole too, thanks to savvy WaPo comments:

thanks for posting the longcon link, this has been the talk of my town since it was published (I’m closer to Lex/Frankfort than Louisville) and holy shit, this is all so much.

There’s a lot more going on with his suicide than just him being exposed as a rapist. I say this because there is going to be an avalanche of blame (and harassment and worse) directed at his victim. Before he blessedly relieved the Earth of his presence, a local public radio station was publishing an ongoing…

Honor... my memory.... trigger the Liiiibs....

Christians who blame Satan for anything are the worst. The devil did NOT make you do it. He didn’t possess your body and pilot you like a meat mecha and make you do bad things. YOU did the bad things. YOU rationalized what you were doing. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON! Satan A. Doesn’t exist and B. If he did exist he’d be…

If you read her whole op-ed you will see she mentions how perhaps her friendships with other powerful men like George Clooney prevented Harvey from actually raping her— acknowledging the (little bit) power she did have in the situation. She’s not lumping herself in with the women who had no power with Harvey.

I’m thinking that I should watch it with a less critical eye now. Imagining how much better it could have been sans the pig’s directions.

“How many great stories have we missed out on?”

“...Hayek, as a then-struggling Mexican actress” Right. Hayek has never struggled. She came from a wealthy family and by the time she made Frida, already had double digit films under her belt. Saying she was a “struggling actress” lumps her into the group of all the other women who have zero power in this situation.…

Well she is brilliant. Obviously a plagiarist with a time machine.

I feel physically ill after reading what Ms. Hyak wrote.

Dana Schwartz is ahead of you:

SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT WAS A REACTION TO PATRIARCHAL BEAUTY STANDARDS OH MY GOD I CAN’T STOP YELLING

I was one of those people. I never got far enough to be preyed on by big timers, as there were enough of the predatory scumbags at the low levels to stop me in my tracks.

This is just as egregious. What a fucking moron.

One of the many sad, infuriating things about all of this, is how many women; actresses, directors, producers and writers, left the business because of Swinestein and the men like him? How many great stories have we missed out on?

So besides being a rapist and sexual predator, this guy’s also an idiot. You can’t have Frida without her unibrow, it’s one of her main things! It’s like doing a movie about Queen Elizabeth I and giving her black hair.

Why are abusive manbabies so valuable in our society? Boo hoo, Frida Kahlo doesn’t give me a boner, lose the limp and unibrow. Boo hoo, I did everything I could to make it flop and it was a success. Why is this behavior protected, time and time again? Why are women like Salma made to feel responsible for their own…
