My friend was saying some sexist shit jokingly in front of his gf and she straight up started flirting with me. In less than 5 minutes he was all quiet and insecure lmfao
I just wanna thank Hayley Kiyoko for giving me the courage and the cockiness to believe I can steal someone’s girl. I got her number, invited her to a party, and told her I can treat her better than him and she even told me I was her type 💁🏻♀️
Okay but the “Mister Mollymauk” , “Mister Caleb” both watered my crops and cleared my skin and also personally assasinated me and sent me into a year-long coma
“Animals don’t go to war because they’re cinnamon rolls unlike ebil humans uwu” Check-fucking-mate Linda, cephalopods are having trench warfare in the ocean.
They’re literally in the shell age
So…they’re shelling each other?
*takes a long drag on a shitty cigarette* war is shell
Why isn’t anyone even bothering to mention the countless wounded soldiers of this cephalopod war? Many come back missing tentacles and eyes! Some even return home with a bad case of…shellshock
I just realized how fucking disgusting it is that it’s considered healthy and normal for teenage boys to eat everything ever yet teenage girls are obviously also growing but are fucking dieting all the time and shamed for eating while they’re growing
Shit
That’s not even the half of it because
– often when a teenager (male or female) puts on some fat it’s in preparation for a growth spurt. Grownups know this.
– teenagers grow in weird gawky ways, like a girl’s hips will spread out and look “fat” until her legs get longer, or they’ll shoot up super tall and then slowly put on muscle and fat. Grownups know this.
– it’s very common for a women’s body weight to fluctuate plus or minus 5% with her menstrual cycle
but in the diet mentality all of these things are considered personal moral failures, a failure of control, when controlling it is literally impossible. I am so incredibly saddened by women who weigh themselves multiple times a week and fuss over ten freaking pounds when that’s well within the bounds of menstrual fluctuation + just-ate-lunch. It’s horrible.
“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” – Naomi Wolf
Grown ups really do not know this. I tell this to parents at least once a week, your child is sleeping/moody/putting on weight because their body is preparing to more or less jump the Grand Canyon of maturation stages. Hormone changes start a full YEAR before first menses.
My own mother, who works in the medical field and has worked solely for OB/GYN for the last 16 years, gave me grief about all of those things. And she knew about hormone level changes and weight distribution changes and she STILL did it. Don’t think hard facts will outweigh societal norms. Keep talking about it until they can’t ignore the facts
Yikes. Yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes. I wasn’t planning on watching anyway because I’m so over it but yikes this is awful. Not one person stood up for her besides the only other woman. Both of them were spoken over, mostly by Jason Bateman. Just awful.
So, my dad used to write the ads for United Airlines in the early 2000′s. Jeffrey Tambor auditioned and was outrageously rude: both to my dad (who was giving him the fucking job in the first place) and the crew. Apparently, he acted as if he was too good for the job while simultaneously behaving like a grasping, desperate, ass. Not a nice man to say the very least.
Jason Bateman: Again, not to belittle it or excuse it or anything, but in the entertainment industry it is incredibly common to have people who are, in quotes, “difficult.” And when you’re in a privileged position to hire people, or have an influence in who does get hired, you make phone calls. And you say, “Hey, so I’ve heard X about person Y, tell me about that.” And what you learn is context. And you learn about character and you learn about work habits, work ethics, and you start to understand. Because it’s a very amorphous process, this sort of [expletive] that we do, you know, making up fake life. It’s a weird thing, and it is a breeding ground for atypical behavior and certain people have certain processes.
Alia Shawkat: But that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. And the point is that things are changing, and people need to respect each other differently.
Jessica Walter [THROUGH TEARS]: Let me just say one thing that I just realized in this conversation. I have to let go of being angry at him. He never crossed the line on our show, with any, you know, sexual whatever. Verbally, yes, he harassed me, but he did apologize. I have to let it go. [Turns to Tambor.] And I have to give you a chance to, you know, for us to be friends again.
Jeffrey Tambor: Absolutely.
Jessica Walter: But it’s hard because honestly — Jason says this happens all the time. In like almost 60 years of working, I’ve never had anybody yell at me like that on a set. And it’s hard to deal with, but I’m over it now. I just let it go right here, for The New York Times.
Jessica Walter has been a working actor for about sixty years and she has to deal with male actors DECADES her junior gaslighting her and telling her that being verbally assaulted by another actor is “typical” and normal? Implying that she doesn’t get the “process” and entertainment business? Jason Bateman is 49 years old and Davis Cross is 54; that they think they need to explain the business Walters has been working in for longer than they’ve been alive is the epitome of entitlement.
It’s just the process. Bull. Shit. If the only way you can be an actor is by dehumanizing and objectifying others, maybe you’re not that great of an actor.
