My stupid floofers are not only enormous, but have massive meat hooks for paws and claws. They are very kindly, tender children, but Dexter (shouldn’t have named him after a fictional serial killer) likes to get my attention by ‘patting’ at my ankles and legs with his massive claws. And Deb likes to ‘make biscuits’ on…

Also, isn’t this how Catwoman started? I would totally be down for an elderly Japanese grandma becoming Catwoman. She tries to knit, but she keeps getting distracted and batting the balls of yarn around. She knocks the figurines her grandkids get her off the shelves for no reason. She takes long naps, wakes up, moves…

So much for Jez supporting the victims.

Whenever someone mentions how it was such a long time ago in their denial, my spider senses tingle. I really hope I’m wrong.

He publicly said a closeted person was gay. Yes, he outed her.

Well he also wants to be a casual farmer at the same time. You know those typical laid back jobs of farming and running a restaurant. Oh god do you think he wants to start a lifestyle brand?

Prior to reading your post, I was thinking about a Nancy Reagan bio I read once, her mother was an actress and her family was ashamed because in those days it was the equivalent of being a prostitute. I wonder if there was any negative stigma to men becoming actors?

Up into the 20th century, actresses were pretty much considered to be prostitutes or “loose women”. Apparently that mindset has not evolved, as we may like to think (or thought). Just like racism...both seem pretty well entrenched in ‘Merica.

I’m pretty sure they can have the lines re-recorded by just about anyone without kids thinking “But what happened to Louis C.K?” This is probably the least complicated issue for studios.

You are my hero today. She doesn’t know now what a good thing you did for her, but someday — hopefully very soon — she will.

No good deed goes unpunished, eh? Well, I’m glad that you took action, even if she isn’t.

You rock back! :) It’s not easy to stand up for yourself if you don’t have direct reinforcement at the time, though.... I could escape my abusive relationship early because my BFF sent up red flags and spoke them aloud to me (i.e. didn’t wait until afterwards to say “I always thought something was up”) , until I had…

“Cool girl” status is a hell of a drug.

You’re performing a public service and from all the rest of us in the world, thank you. I allowed being guilted and gaslighted for being “too feminist” and “sacrificing compromise for your ideals” (in reality I’m actually the biggest doormat ever) to keep me in an abusive relationship for way too long. Never let…

Ugh. And that is exactly why the other men should have done something instead of you.

Good on you. I will do the same. (I only wish our superheroes’ union could take up a collection to buy us some half-decent capes. ;)

A lack of trust shouldn’t stop someone from trying to do the right thing.

Hang on, she’s 19; he’s 44,; she’s drunk and he’s groping her?

Said girl (one of those 19-year-old, ‘not like other girls’ girls), who remembered nothing of the evening, ended up giving me a condescending lecture about how he’s a “really nice guy” and I was “letting my political ideology cloud my judgment” and should “stop hating men.”

Man, the number of times I’ve gotten that same scolding lecture from girls I subsequently wanted to slap, shake by the shoulders, and scream into their faces “WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW!!”.....
