Yes, we must account for political exigency before taking action against sexual predators. This is a fine and good take.

Yes, what purpose does it serve for there to be consequences for sexual predation?

lol yeah fuck that zero tolerance bullshit who knew it might be inconvenient

Wow, lots of liberals in this thread going with a full-throated defense of sexual predators. Way to go, guys!

Yes, we must defend our sexual predators.

The Band-Aid always hurts to pull off, but we can’t leave it on there forever.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where does the “you’re just a straight girl” part follow from what you wrote earlier? (I don’t get where the “guy in disguise” part comes from either tbh unless it’s just a purely antediluvian response to same-sex attraction).

I’ll give her credit for forgoing the “I’m sorry if you were offended” non-apology apology in favor of the the more obscure and trickier “I will not repudiate anything I said but here are some things my critics might enjoy hearing” one. In these difficult times a little variety and flair go a long way.

Sexual harassment and assault are always subordinate to some larger goal, and there will never be a good time to change the culture surrounding it. “After the revolution” is another way of saying never.

Based on your description, the only redeeming take on this movie would be if the filmmakers deliberately set up the audience to laugh at the cruelty of her upbringing, then deliver that cold slap in the face an hour into the film.

That’s sub-MRA level trolling bro, up your game. Dismissed.
