OMG, there are maybe a gazillion cases of female students being reprimanded by schools for violating the dress code. All the students then hve to do is going on the internet crying about feeling slut shamed and ‘oppressed’ and every single time the internet pitchfork crowd turns against the school, even if the…
Let me summarize: allegations without evidence—>dismissed by Halpern bc of lack of evidence—>still no further evidence backing up the allegations but mounting pressure nonetheless—>termination of employment without even acknowledging her former remarks about the flimsiness of the allegations
You’re probably also baffled by the fact, that we have traffic laws, cuz if everybody would just drive carefully, we’d be ok, amirite?
Wrong, criticizing a woman for her appearance and being called a slut shamer is not a matter of ‘nuance’. There’s a certain subset on the internet, who will find fault with it, no matter how nuanced appropriate the critique. Let me give you a hint; if the critic has a penis, it’s always deemed inappropriate and slut…
There is a big difference though, if you criticize the woman at the business meeting for her inappropriate skin-tight tube dress, you will be called a ‘slut shamer’. I agree, that no woman (or man) should have to endure sexual harassment or any form of sexual assault and no woman is ‘asking for it’ by her choice of…

It’s not the most original remark and I’m sure many people have said it before me, but Colbert is really, really good at this. He’s quick on his feet, completely relaxed and really enjoying himself and that helps his guests to relax and open up to him as well.
Rihanna might have a lot of talents, singing isn’t one of them. She’s ok as a singer, but that’s it. Leo on the other hand, now that’s an actor with more than just determination.
There are more than just a bunch of white twentysomething girls living in NYC, yet there is this show named ‘Girls’ that no one watches (according to the ratings). If a nobody like Dunham has the right to tell this story, so should a somebody like Scorsese, imo. If you had watched the first episode you’d know, that…
You like conspiracies, don’t you?
It’s a dumb argument that it has to be historically correct.
Even at a location and time, where 99,9 % of the population used to be white, you COULD include non-white characters. But that wasn’t the point Ejiofor made - he basically accuses every producer of a white cast project of racism, no matter what the circumstances. That is wrong, bc a less diverse cast can be…
