Nah

The writer made a good point about how this discussion has already been had, but that it took younger people and more women who don’t agree with this behavior gaining power for it to finally stick. You made a little, petty comment preempting negative coverage that currently only exists in your mind. Why?

By not running for president.

The issue isn't that he’s an affectionate, emotional man though. Plenty of men are either or both of those. If society has an issue with anything, it's boundaries which are often not recognized or respected. We're all still figuring this stuff out and in the end, that's a good thing.

See I know a guy like this. He is my husband’s ex-father in law who we remain in touch with. He is a nice, decent guy who would do anything for you. BUT he is sooooo handsy. He hugs a lot, he rests his hand on you all the time, he gives unsolicited massages, he always leans in for the cheek kiss. It makes me extremely…

He does this all the time on camera, on live TV. So these women are just saying “yeah, you know how you see him touching women all the time? That’s actually not okay and I did not like it and he/all men who do that should know better and I am telling you that I did not like it so you understand unequivocally that it…

I swear to god, if I see one more “this isn’t a problem, he’s the only possible way to beat Trump” comment, I’m gonna scream.

Because people keep making excuses for this guy and telling everyone else to stop talking about it for some dumb reason.

Exactly what sort of content are you seeking on Jezebel if you consider posts that relate the experience of women, both as individuals and more broadly, to current events pointless?  Not only is this a totally worthwhile thing to write about, it’s squarely in the site’s wheelhouse.  

A victim of being too high a standard?

Have people completely fucking forgotten kindergarten? You do not get in someone’s personal space or touch them UNLESS THEY AGREE TO IT. This is especially true if you don’t know someone or are OH I DON’T KNOW, a powerful politician.

“...the larger culture that values a man’s perceived good intentions over a woman’s actual discomfort.” —This, yes!! A thousand times yes! This is what has us not react when someone comes in too close for an “affectionate” gesture. Or worse, when the gesture is not affectionate. We second guess ourselves, asking what…

I hope some giant publishing company pays her a lot of money to write her memoirs. Her story has to be one of the most interesting there is.

As a former high school goth and current member of the target market for this I’d like to say Fairuza Balk was a revelation and this is unnecessary.

I was silent for so many remakes

Did we see the same movie? Because there are so many points here that make me wonder, from Carol being not interesting to the queerbaity take on her friendship with Maria. (I got her helping raise the kid, but more in a best friend/aunt way than in a ‘Monica has two moms’ way.)

“I have nothing to prove to you.”

Maybe I’m just being generous but it felt like she didn’t know who she was which is kind of appropriate. She has amnesia and has had the Kree poking around in her brain. It’s like her personality was in pieces and occasionally you’d get something real coming through. I got the sense that, at least initially, she was…

This Carol Danvers is VERY different from comics Carol Danvers. I can already envision a really cool Captain Marvel 2 film based on how this one ended and would also explain her absence up until Endgame.

I mean that there are odds stacked against it being like a compelling / original film. Origins films require a lot of time in particular areas that prevent a lot of freedom in narration.
