Right? How many Twitter Cool Girls do I see out there every day slamming the MeToo movement and whining that they don’t want to be called feminists and parroting the “life is hard for men” lines they learned from Massa. How many Tami Lahrens are there out there? These traitors are firmly in the 18-29 group.
“Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.”
YES. There was some recent commentary saying that calling out men who support Woody Allen would also mean a bunch of white women would also have to be called out and apologize for it. My response was always: Yeah, so what? And now Mira Sorvino is living proof that it can be done effectively, with genuine empathy and…
.........as someone who works with the Military, I know MANY cases like yours........
But that’s literally what the #MeToo movement is about: being open. And the more prolific actors that publicly speak out against Woody Allen, the better.
It’s amazing how Mira Sorvino has done nothing that can compare with all the rapists, harassers, and assailants who have been exposed over the last few months but she managed to write the must vulnerable, transparent, and effective apology of all the public apologies that have been coming out. That’s empathy for you.…
“The cognitive dissonance, the denial and cowardice that spare us painful truths and prevent us from acting in defense of innocent victims while allowing “beloved” individuals to continue their heinous behavior must be jettisoned from the bottom of our souls.”
I’ll be damned, you’re not wrong here
That’s exactly what I was thinking, lol. Like, people break up in India and shit, damn.
This. The “Western Culture” part cracked me up, Dumham will never stop beimg the privileged, less precocious than she thinks sophomore on break who just knows she’s going to blow the minds of the squares back home.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGh. She’s reminding me of how I am whenever I breakup with someone. For the next few months, I’m like, “Yeah, it didn’t work out, but we can still be friends. We’re still hanging out. He’s my best friend.” And then I slowly realize this person is not my best friend... they shouldn’t be in my life…
THIIIIIIIS
Yes, thank you! And I’m pretty sure many people in “Western culture” realize that you can still love someone after a break up. She can fuck off with the whole fake Eastern spirituality she’s trying to invoke out of nowhere.
RIGHT! lol
Yeah, I’m thinking she just wants to sound smart. Unfortunately for her, it made her sound dumber.
if my daughter came at me with this bullshit - i would tell her to stop being pretentious and to stop pretending the didn’t get dumped - sigh - she is tiresome
but I will admit that if one of my friends said this to me...
“I’m wearing this ring that Jack gave me and I’ll always wear it, because love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing and it doesn’t have to be defined the way we in Western culture define it as beginnings and ends.”
................This reminds me a Lot of the Military............sure, there are appropriate channels one can use to report abuse............but THE MINUTE you walk thru the door of that office, to follow the chain of command, and go “up the chain from the inside”, you are MARKED................before you even leave…
