That he is pandering is not surprising. That the right is eating it up is... mind-boggling.

oh yeah, that makes sense. I blanked out on the ‘monogamy for thee but not for me’ nonsense that a lot of chauvinists do.

Not surprised but still disgusted.

He doesn’t have friends. Book after report after article about him have brought up that he doesn’t really seem to have any friends, only business associates, servants, and family members.

He treats every woman he is in a relationship with as a trophy. Not a person, not a partner but as a prize that he’s won.

“She has thus far refused to speak negatively about her ex-husband, which seems undeservingly patient of her.”

Suggestion: All women who ever consider being associated with Donald Trump in any way, ask yourself this question first.

No correction needed, this is exactly what is happening :(

A very honorable move. I did the math for myself and I wouldn’t have a problem dropping 1/15 of my paycheck if it was the difference between losing the majority of my staff or not.

“But so many men don’t understand that it’s so hard to actually consent when you’re drunk or high.”

Thank you for the response. I just interpreted the tone in that way, which was not what you intended. I suspect Fox Searchlight thought they could spin this as a “consent was different fifteen-twenty years ago and this was between two teenagers who were both drunk and had sex before” instead of the fact that it…

This isn’t a “he may not have done it spin.” the whole thing is horrific and there’s def outrage. this is just laying out hollywood’s handling and how it’s been covered, published before the news about her suicide

You can keep typing that I sound delusional, but I am not a child and I have been out in the world for a minute.

He adds, “I want women to stand up, to speak out when they feel violated, in every degree, as I prepare to take my own daughter to college.”

Why is this so nuanced for so many people? I don't get it. The guy raped her. He is not apologizing or acknowledging that in any way. The only reason he is bringing this up now is to try to save his Oscar campaign. His defense is that he has daughters and that his mother lives with him??? He sounds like racist white…

A million times this! I was a freshmen in college in 1999. At USC, a big, PAC 10 college that has a ton of Olympic-level and eventually to pro-level athletes. People knew what date-rape was. They knew you weren’t supposed to have sex with a passed out person. They knew what coercion was. Talks were had. Unfortunately,…

From the court records, it seems she was not simply tipsy(at which point she could give consent) but was so intoxicated it wasn’t clear she was even conscious. There was no consent. Not for anybody.

I vote nah!

Love the kid gloves you’re wearing here. Which you certainly wouldn’t be wearing if he were White or Conservative. She was too drunk to consent and he even invited his buddies. He’s a rapist just as much as all the others you report on. His movie doesn’t change that.

Maybe, like with the Judge in the Stanford rape case, they didn’t want to do something that would have “a severe impact on him”
