I adore that this thread is filled with the exact assholes who would leave a bar with this hotline number.

“antisemitism amuses me!”

Not to defend what he said, but in the subsequent 6 years he has apologized for the comment (and once again today) and educated himself on the subject as well as directed, write, and star in Road to Paloma about the subject of rape in Native American communities.

Between Harvey Weinstein, every single person in the Trump Administration, and this cheesy weirdo, I’m beginning to think you actually can judge a creepy asshole by the cover.

Something to consider:

None of this seems that unreasonable to me.

I’m worried she is going to be punished mightily for it. She’s obviously past giving a fuck (which I admire) but it’s painfully obvious that her careful speech for years is the result of a particularly harsh NDA related to her settlement.

She makes me want to put my fist in the air. It’s so uplifting that in a world of absolute shit that there are people like her fighting like hell for the silenced. What a woman.

I’m glad she finally attached him to it. She’s been saying she was raped by a high level exec for years now, just never outright stating who it was.

Glad she said it.

I wrote about a different creepy thing last year that happened in this same house, but I can’t find that post anymore (Thanks, Kinja!). Anyway, here’s another one that happened about a year before that other one.

As a movie fun, that’s twice in recent times.

Also James Gunn won me over

That’s great to hear, I think calling it out when we see it is the best tactic. Maybe we can start pulling more female commenters out of the grays, too, although I’m not sure how much the writers care about that anymore.

This is a very unwelcome comment. Are you actually trying to say that someone claiming that his underage daughter wants to have sex with him is a “misunderstanding”? You need to back off and stop caping for sexually inappropriate and delusional men in a feminist space. What is wrong with you?

I read you yesterday. I have been uncomfortable with these types for a time now. I will just say

I’m tired of the phony “allies” who just come here for attention and validation. They will learn the prevalent “mood” or opinion, and then just echo it back to us. They have to be part of nearly every discussion:”Oh yes, well we know why men do THAT, don’t we?” And “Yeah, that white guy needs to step off, shite!”

It blows my mind how there are a handful of male commenters who comment ON EVERY FUCKING ARTICLE, usually as soon as it’s published and have no self awareness that maybe they should take a back seat on an expressly women oriented site. Like, feel free to participate but say something when it’s useful or insightful…

At least The Root doesn’t have white contributors. It also (in my opinion) kicks Jezebel’s ass from an advocacy pov.

“There’s nothing at stake” is just another way of saying female pleasure and desire, and romantic relationships told from a female perspective, are simply not important. If the themes in romance novels were important, then it would be important to see how the novels approach or treat these themes. Since the treatment…
