I think this says it all:

“If you’re going to make up an entire false identity, why would you make yourself into a shitty person?”

Lol show me the statistic that says rapes are at an all-time low. If there even is a stastistic, this would only include reported rape so that stastistic would be inaccurate anyway.

It's exhibitionism- so self-loathing is right out; it's a power thing in terms of getting a reaction.

why does one preclude the other? why couldn't he be ashamed of his exhibitionism and remedy that shame with more power? why wouldn't a cycle make more sense here?

What a weird story. Super fascinating but pretty messed up. I don't get having the complicated backstory and relationships with other women if you just wanted to be a baseball writer.

"In one of the stranger aftershocks of the tidal wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations engulfing the entertainment industry, director Ridley Scott has recast Kevin Spacey’s role in the already-completed film All the Money in the World, and will reshoot and reinsert his scenes in time for the film’s scheduled December theatrical bow."

Damn.

Chris/Igor, what do you gain from trying to convince people that things are getting better all the time. How would it personally affect you if you just acknowledged that shit happens, and it sucks - without throwing in a "but..." qualifier to paint a picture of a downtrodden man? And that even though some people get wrongly accused and it ruins lives, it's not worth clamping down on all rape accusations and possibly pushing actual victims away from reporting their attacks?

Like I can understand having different views, and believe it or not I do respect it up to a point, but you all argue these things as if it is side vs. side, while the other side is arguing "hey we should all be a team working towards goal x." You're not arguing with what most people would call "SJWs" here. Just people who want to see the world be a little bit better for everyone.

Damn, probably realized that leaving Spacey in the movie would lose them a lot of cash, they probably want to distance themselves as well.

I'm not going to click the link and just imagine that Ridley Scott replaced Spacey with a Xenomorph.

Apparently Casey Affleck and Mark Wahlberg are in the movie too... so much baggage for one film lol.

Igor @ 9/11/2017 21:58 Good, idea. Lets get all the boys in high school in one room and tell society expects them to be rapists. Sexism at it's finest. Yeah, because telling people to act proper is the same as accusing them. It's like when you go to church and they tell you you are a murderer because of that "thou shalt not kill" thing.

Then why not tell women to act proper? I'd argue that a majority of women that sexually assault or rape men doesn't get reported because men are "supposed to like it" and other bullshit like that. Focusing on men is just pure sexism.

LOL @ HBO pulling all of Louie's material.
kinda ridiculous

Progress is definitely being made, so it's false not to say that. I'm not saying hey stop what you're doing. I'm trying to point out a real issue. When you make men into an enemy and demonize them that really doesn't help things. Like I said in above posts, there are many issues men face that are underrepresented and not talked about. Hell there are many accountants of single fathers at the playground with their kids and having the cops called by others thinking they are pedophiles. Hell, a lot of dudes are not comfortable being around kids at this point just because of the stigma that has been pushed on men. False accusations are just a small part of it. There is also a huge idea that me are all evil deviant sex maniacs that is toxic.

Did he do that? Does it matter? Him masturbating at people who are (and rightly so) uncomfortable should be problematic enough. That's a criminal offense. I'm guessing he's asking first to see if they'd be comfortable with it. I think you would "rightly so" say no, other people might say yes though (and enjoy it, not everyone is you). The phone thing is sketchy AF, pretty disgusting. I don't get why he didn't just get some dominatrix to fulfill his self loathing fueled self degradation kink instead of all this shit. It's exhibitionism- so self-loathing is right out; it's a power thing in terms of getting a reaction. The asking the women; they thought was part of him joking around, only to have him do it. And when one made comments about it later, she was told by a high level comedy manager "Drop it".

Getting laughed at (while doing it) and continuing / liking it doesn't sound like normal exhibitionism.
