... I’m suggesting society stops giving them chances. As an audience, let’s not give him another chance, and instead deliberately choose to consume entertainment by minority’s voices. As an audience, let’s not tune into AD anymore. As professionals, let’s deliberately seek out minority voices, technicians, actors…

I suspect it’s really more about reducing the already fully formed human who is carrying the foetus to the status of property.

Most actors are incredibly fucked up people. We need to accept this.

It is exhausting. There are a lot of men angry about just being asked to just consider dealing with women as though we were human beings with our own feelings, plans, and motivations.

leave it to the woman to have to do the emotional fucking labor for the whole goddamn male cast

Yeah this is simple as fuck. “I spoke my truth and then I got called out on it. NOW I’m sorry because I don’t want negative things to happen to me because I’m a shitty human being.” Your words after the fact don’t mean shit, apologizing doesn’t do anything. You aren’t actually sorry you spoke your true feelings,…

Without knowing what you consider “the wrong thing” I can’t really offer anything further but my tentative encouragement. I would warn, though, that if someone opens with anything about how “feminist” or “liberal” they are right off the bet then you should be suspicious.

Just this morning I was listening to a podcaster talk about how comfort is a tool of oppression. That straight/white/cis/dudes - people who are not generally part of marginalized groups - tend not to experience much discomfort in their daily lives, at least not in any systematized way. If they encounter conversations…

This is exactly why he’s so eager to forgive Jeffery Tambor and insist that Tambor gets 2000 second chances. Because Bateman wants to make sure that he also gets alllll those chances because he knows his own behavior is also a piece of shit that no one’s just happened to step on yet.

Fuck Bateman and the rest of the AD dudes. They showed the world what they’re like when they’re together and how they dismiss and talk over their women coworkers. True colours.

Absolutely. And also, if this is how they behave when there is a full blown journalist there from the fucking New York Times then how are they acting behind closed doors?

Not meaning to be rude but why exactly did everyone think so much of Jason Bateman? Because of the roles he plays?

This is why all of those actresses kept quiet all those years. It’s not just that they risked being blackballed by a powerful and well-connected producer. They risked being ostracized by their asshole male co-workers. This is why women get branded as difficult and divas with attitudes. It’s because demanding respect…

In my experience, anyone time someone refers to their workplace as a family it is the biggest red flag. Families are the opposite of professional and people get away with awful shit that you would never tolerate in another person because you share DNA. That is not how a workplace should function. I’ve never had a good…

I have lost faith that there are good ones. Just a spectrum.

EXACTLY THIS. Why are his feelings so much more important than hers, other than that she’s a woman?

“by age 70 nearly 96% of men and women have been married at some point in their lives”

It’s just enough to drive a modern person mad to listen to these incels from the internet area ensconced in their comfortable secure lives complaining about the fact that they’re discriminated against because they don’t have enough sex. It’s like, Jesus get a hobby. For Christ’s sake, you — you — ”

It’s also blue collar workers and guys who wear turtlenecks. Actually, it’s pretty much men. (Will dismiss trolls without hesitation)

I’m a Batuman fangirl and must get hold of this novel for this summer’s beach reading. :) I’ve already read an excerpt, and Selin makes me want to simultaneously shake her & hug her, which is how I know I’m reading a really-real heroine.
