Yeah, it’s like Polanski films. I am sure, as a film, the Pianist was well deserving of an Oscar, but I’m never going to find out, because all I could think about while I watched it is how the man who made it raped a young girl, got away with it, and doesn’t give a shit.

I’ve heard it’s a good movie.

So sadly correct. I may not get suspended without pay if I weigh in too heavy as an airline’s stewardess, but no male coworkers or managers will take my input seriously unless it gets recycled and spat out through the mouth of a man, however less senior than me. I’m constantly ignored and undermined by my male bosses…

I think we’re getting an obnoxious influx of ignorant fucks with too much time on their hands now because they can’t troll gawker.com anymore.

Somebody’s feefee’s got hurt. Love a dude trolling Jezebel calling people everyone cunts (because he’s so sure that will trigger us all) but BOY he can’t handle even the gentlest retaliation. Don’t dismiss what you invite, boo boo. Kisses!

Thank god I’m a librarian. The day they enforce a ban on Easy Spirit shoes and threadbare cardigans is the day I turn in my retirement papers.

I’m so glad I don’t have to work in a restaurant. In my line of work, people only feel entitled to comment on my hair, my weight, my voice, my nail polish, my make-up, my clothes, my shoes...but they can’t fire me for it.

Don’t ever listen to Kurt Metzger. Don’t give him the views, don’t give him the attention, relegate him to the anonymity and lack of attention that he so much deserves. He’s a troll and he feeds off this shit.

She’s a public figure and a well-known feminist. You’re not, one can assume.

Her words that weren’t, “Hey, can you stop because that is an unconscionable thing to do to another human being?” and her words that were “I love him.”

Again, not what I’m doing. Metzger should be held accountable for his actions, and Amy should be held accountable for her words. Separate things.

Ok, well, I don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Especially since I’m ragging on her over her actions and her judgment, not over his.

People aren’t asking her to answer for his behavior, they’re asking for her to answer why she keeps defending him and calling him her friend and employing him on her show.

Did you read what he wrote? It was vile. And it’s not the first time he’s written something like that. I’d question the judgment and character of anyone who’d choose to remain friends with and publicly profess love for the writer of that tirade.

Because she’s better known, because she still says she “loves” him, and because she has a spotty record with other social issues.

I am not a big Schumer fan but honestly I can’t get myself worked up over this. Like Kurt Metzger is a shit bag, no question but why does she need to answer for his bad behavior? That is what I am not understanding about this whole ordeal. The focus is no longer that Kurt and men like him have some BULLSHIT ideas…

Because word choice really, really matters in situations like this. I get that he didn’t intend to say that rape hasn’t always been what we see it as today. But this is an incredibly delicate subject, and he should have known better than to use the phrase “what rape is becoming.”

Not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying that I don’t like her equivocation. I’m saying that her actions don’t align with her words. Hell, her words don’t align with her words.

I am an XXy woman. I successfully conceived and delivered my child. I have naturally occurring high levels of testosterone. I am also a sofa schlub. There’s no way in hell I or my android pelvis could perform as well as the *LEAST* testosterone laden of the competitors.

They’d check how much of it was bound to her receptors, screen her for known mutations in those same receptors, weigh the hoarseness of her voice, rate the development of her pubic hair and breasts, evaluate her muscles, size her labia, palpate her vagina, and measure her anogenital distance. In other words, they’d…
