I saw a former male classmate diss Amy Schumer in her own movie because he found her humor too crude. I would not have an issue with his view on this, since not everyone’s humor is the same. BUT, don’t say you dislike a comedian due to crude humor and then have every single Kevin Smith movie listed as a favorite on your FB page. He’s still welcome to his opinion but I smell the hypocrisy.
John Lennon: But I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko. There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. And we dig being together all the time. Both of us could survive apart but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love for any whore or any friend or any business, because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. And you can’t fill a bed with groupies. It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. I’ve been through it all and nothing works better than to have someone you love hold you.
This is cute and all but John Lennon was a wife beater. I know he was much of an icon for peace and love, but much of it was an over statement.
“I need feminism because… My choice of attire is not invitation for you to stare.”
C'mon, really? Don’t act like you aren’t guilty of the very same thing.
When you see those dapper looking gentlemen sitting in backstreet cafés, with their cold pressed coffee in one hand while simultaneously writing poetry with the other. Everything about them is perfect. From their antique leather case to the tiny infinity tattoo on their finger. Don’t pretend like you don’t swoon as they periodically fix their Ray Ban glasses into place every time it slides to the tip of their nose, causing their tweed plaited bracelets to fall back down to their pale forearms. Don’t act like you aren’t currently imagining what it would be like to have this fine specimen of a man start a conversation with you, and all of a sudden that very same evening he is making slow, sweet love to you in his wood cabin on the edge of the woods. Before you know it, your lady parts are getting a little wet before your coffee even arrives. You can’t help your bodies natural response to stimulants. But of course, you couldn’t stop staring because this guy was clearly dressing to impress, right?
Again, don’t act like you don’t get turned on by men with hot bodies while they are simply trying to enjoy their day at the beach without being the target of your lustful stare. Their chiselled chests, all smooth and golden brown. Don’t pretend that you’ve never looked at a man like that and fantasised about him literally sweeping you off your feet with his strong muscular arms, and suddenly you are in a private, secluded beach where he is slowly kissing every inch of your body as you lie in the soft sand. Before you know it, your lady parts are getting a little wet and you aren’t even in the ocean yet. But of course, he should have worn a swim vest because his bare chest was basically an invitation to stare, right?
Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Misha Collins. Don’t act like you don’t google image these guys obsessively and memorise every single detail of their bodies. Don’t pretend like you haven’t used their public images to help yourself get off when you need a little private lady-time. But of course, they shouldn’t have been actors who are constantly in the spotlight if they didn’t want people to notice them and lust over them, right?
Unfortunately, everyone has the right to stare. At anything. You cannot police somebodies right to look at whatever is in their field of vision. Especially when you abuse this very same right, for the exact same reasons. Don’t be a hypocrite.
it’s “kill your rapist’ when it’s a sticker you can sell on etsy but "she’s the abuser actually” when it’s real life
It’s “abuse is wrong. Support women!” when a man is abusive but “he wasnt abused because men cant be abused” when the abuser is a woman.
I think it’s more ‘Believe the victim’ when the abuser is male, but 'How dare you call her an abuser!’ when it’s a woman.
Seriously OP, she bragged about it, and challenged him to admit to being an abuse victim because she knew he wouldn’t be believed. Of all the hills to die on, 'woman with a history of abusing her partners, male AND female’ sure as fuck shouldn’t have been the one you take your final stand on.
This is my hill to die on because stans refuse to look at literally any basic evidence and keep regurgitating the same points that have been refuted by this point. We have the full context here instead of what Waldman edited to make her look as bad as possible. She’s saying tell the world that it was a fair fight, because he’s larger and stronger so no one would reasonably believe that him hitting her is the same as when she defends herself.
And she also tells him multiple times how she thought he was going to kill her, and talks about when he hit her with the phone as she later reported when she got the RO.
And lmao really bringing up Tasya Van Ree when she herself said that there was no domestic abuse incident and that the cops were out of line. And the fact that stans have literally made up any other instance – it’s conspiracy level shit about like Elon Musk.
But then you have Johnny, who’s got an assault history going back to 1989 and will be back in court later this year for the 2018 assault of a crew member. There is a reason why she won getting the restraining order and why he lost in the UK with 12 counts proven to a civil level of abuse, and why he lost the appeal when two separate judges reviewed it.
And then even let’s talk about “mutual abuse”, which is a myth. Domestic abuse victims do not react in the ways that we might expect, and many will mouth off or fight back. They’re not wrong or “just as shitty” for doing so.
Honestly believing Johnny Depp requires levels of mental gymnastics only achieveable by misogynists and people who do not genuinely understand the dynamics of abuse.
Anyway, I’m off to enjoy my long weekend.
The problem with this argument, and we’re going to be infinitely fair here…
Is that it only works IF you start from the presumption that Amber Heard is the victim and ignore any evidence to the contrary.
The moment you step back and consider the situation from the opposite perspective, that is to say step back and consider this from the Depp side, is that you have an absolute reversal of the situation and multiple people testifying that Heard is in fact lying under oath.
Seriously, this is basic DARVO. Which anyone who has any understanding of abuse, both mental and physical can easily see.
'I was afraid you were going to kill me, so I had to hurt you by any means possible.’ and 'who are they going to believe, small me or big you’ are also classic attempts to reframe an abusive situation, to make the injured party feel like they are the villain, and that they cannot turn to authorities to seek legal redress. Again, this is actually rather classic examples, I’m shocked you overlook them so readily.
But then again, you bring up the concept of 'Mutual abuse’ specifically to deride it, while none of us here calling you on your shit even mentioned the idea. YOU brought it up, so that you could then dismiss the concept, so you could dismiss any credence to anything Depp said.
It’s because you, my dear, are a fucking Stan, just for Heard.
The irony. The complete and total irony of someone doing what they’re accusing me of, and ignoring Depp’s DARVO of the situation.
But hey, misogynists gonna misogynist.
To be honest, young lady, you don’t have to be a fan of someone’s performances to 'Stan’ them. You only have to uncritically and unashamedly hold that they can do no wrong, regardless of context.
And hell, stating 'you attacked me and cut my finger’ is not DARVO, when she openly admits that she did, in fact, attack him and cut his finger. That’s not DARVO, that’s a statement of fact, one that she doesn’t even deny. DARVO is Denial (I did nothing wrong) Attack (I thought you were going to kill me) and Reverse Victim and Offender (I need to stop this madness before I get hurt). It requires that you state 'the things I did to you are your fault’.
But then again, to look at things this way would require you to stop holding a position where the only reason why people would disagree with you is that they worship a celebrity or just hate women. It would mean that you accept that you could, even to the smallest degree, be either wrong or have been lied to.
And your ego won’t allow for that.
oh shit someone with Feminism and Mental Health in their bio description is going to lecture people on Amber Heard. Hilarious.
got a ton of submissions from this tumblr blogger … obviously somebody feels very threatened by black superiority … in my experience those that complaining the most about something are typically the first ones to be guilty of doing the same
