There are a lot of men out there. And I don’t know most of them, but it seems pretty damn unlikely that there are nearly three and a half billion rapists just walking around like it’s normal. I think it’s time to climb down from the outrage pony. It’s had a long day and is very tired. There is nothing to be gained by…

I haven’t seen it yet. Do you think reviewers were hesitant to criticize it because of the subject matter? Or is it just really good despite low production value?

I did like Selma, but it is true that the movie lacked a certain visual punch. I still think DuVernay will have a bright career directing dramas, but I am not sure she has the expansive skills of, to name another young black director, Ryan Coogler (whose new film Creed is terrific). But she is still starting out, so…

Agreed. Selma was very by-the-book and there was nothing about it that made me think for a second she deserved a nomination for best director. We need more women directors but that doesn’t mean I’m going to say every single woman director out there is a genius just because she’s a woman. Tarantino’s comment was bitchy…

I agree. I was pretty disappointed in Selma. Idk if it’s because I actually remember it all, but it just didn’t seem to have the fire of the actual events.

A great gift for a teething baby is a donut to lick.

next time he may even profess his love to her in an interview

Do you call teenage boys/men with horrendous sexist attitudes as being victims of being brainwashed as well?

Something does not need to be a criminal act or subject to a criminal sentence (or fine) in order to be considered illegal.

Genuinely not trying to troll here, but isn’t overstaying a visa.... illegal?

Actually overstaying your visa is illegal

BS, nothing wrong with illegal immigrant. I am all for reform but there is nothing wrong with calling people who enter the country illegally, illegal immigrants.

This is not a requirement of child support. There are numerous examples of men finding out the child they have been raising is not theirs, but that doesn’t absolve them of child support responsibility.

Same as all the deadbeat dads who knock up women and run. We really have achieved equality!

I assume his parents speak English as well.

oh no doubt. I think she is very intelligent and well suited to the job and I mostly agree with her policies. I didn’t see where Nader said she *has* to talk to her husband. Maybe I missed it.

And she expected Norman, the violent asshole who stabbed her, to take care of her? That’s delusional. What’s the point of being a temptress if you don’t get a chunk of change or, at least, an expensive bauble you can hock? She did not do a very good job of being a temptress. But, my god, she was beautiful.

oh i have zero issue with her response. i think it’s awesome. my issue is with the headline and tone of the post itself.

Am I the only one who doesn’t see anything patronizing about what Ralph Nader said? It seems to me that he suggested she consult with a highly qualified and intelligent nobel-prize winning economist who appears to hold views that differ from hers, and just so happens to be her husband. There was nothing in the above…
