It’s revealing that such self-reflection never results in the conclusion that men who have spent careers harassing and bullying should not return to those careers.

You can TOTALLY hear him thinking that.

Shit, I already un-greyed this by starring the response, so here goes:

I think the “sudden” part was that people started calling actors out for working with Allen. For 20 years, practically no one blamed you for your willingness to pretend that he wasn’t a sicko in order to be in one of his movies.

Social fraternities are for people who depend on cliques and groups to define their self worth. These are the same people who will show up to every high school reunion and talk about how that was the best time in their lives.

Dammit, even their senior trips are better regulated.

That’s like arguing that vomiting is better than diarrhea.

As a woman, having a hair trigger anger-escalation response has actually worked to keep me safe from male violence. So, thank you emotionally abusive Mom?

That’s also a big impairment to their social media presence. It’s why Howler just hasn’t taken off the way Twitter has.

My wife is an attorney that does a lot of guardianships for elderly people (kind of a growing field in FL). She is often the advocate for the elderly person that is appointed by the court (and the judges appear to love her because, in their words, she is often the only person they believe is acting in the person’s…

Dammit, I was hoping this movie was about a giant Meg White.

That is funny,I was going to say something about his giant teeth.Continue demanding the tooth and nothing but the tooth!

Oh go on then:
