Yes, because it is about consent and ignoring the refusal thereof.

He has the face of a person who tips in bible tracts.

I 1000% agree. This is an absolute violation when she clearly was uninviting him out of her space and he willfully ignored her plea. unfuckingbelievable that there are humans that think this shit is A ok. What the fuck.

OP said camera lenses can be male-gazey. This is a perfect application of OP’s statement. If going into someone’s face to shoot them against their will isn’t male-gazey-rapeish, I don’t know what is.

I don’t understand that mindset at all. Are celebrities not allowed to be off the clock? If someone started harrassing me on my day off to put together some spreadsheets I might even become violent

Plus I doubt he'd ever dare say the same thing to any male comedian.

He said “we paid for you” and also didn’t respond to her “stop” and “no.” Maybe it sounds very radical fem but camera lens can be male gazey and with the non consent here this feels kind of rapey (no, that doesn’t undermine actual rape...this is a different degree but in my understanding there is a spectrum of…

no it’s America and we paid for you

Meh... I’m not even an Amy Schumer fan but let his life be destroyed *online*. “We paid for you” has to be the smarmiest phrase ever uttered while violating someone.

Dude, you paid for a movie ticket/cable and received a movie/tv show. End of contract.

I used to play a game, waiting at the metered freeway entrance on my way to work every morning, called “who’s cheating in the carpool lane?”

Was going to say “too soon” and then realized you didn’t mean Hogan.

Still more than people of color who are poor, homeless or have records, though.

Let me begin by saying that you sound like a pretty amazing person!

This is an excellent, devastating article. How do we force people who don’t give a shit do the things they are supposed to do? I wish someone would have the balls to jail them, and not in one of those “minimum security” prisons, but in actual prison. Maybe a year there would make some rich asshole understand that it…

The breaking of unions is one of the saddest and most reprehensible things to happen in this country. Decades of propaganda have left unions with a bad reputation, and yet they are frequently the first line of defense against abuse. The dirtier and less respected the job, the more desperately the workers need…

I still benefit from this kind of permissiveness as a poor white person. In the UK where I live you can get government assistance with housing costs - but many landlords will not accept this arrangement. They put “no DSS” on their adverts - “no department of social services funding allowed”, they mean.

That’s always our hope. I’ll tell you, the absolute worst people in the world, though, are the foster parents who end up abusing the kids they take in. I mean, a natural parent doing so is bad enough, but a foster parent made a deliberate decision to take in an already-hurt kid; when they then turn around and hurt…

As someone who works in a group home shelter for abused foster kids, I can only personally speak to the first part of this article and say that, for all the attempted subterfuge our kids go through to dodge the Rules, we almost always know when they’re doing it — we just sort of let it go (as long as it isn’t anything…
