Quote:Comedian and daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is receiving some backlash from fans after a joke about Katy Perry was taken as sexist.
The star courted outrage on Wednesday after dedicating a tweet to the “Roar” singer on her birthday.
“Happy birthday, @KatyPerry! It’s time to bring out the big balloons!” the star wrote over an image of her gawking, mouth agape, at Perry’s breasts.
In the wake of the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal, of which DeGeneres was an outspoken critic, dedicating part of her show to sharing her thoughts on the “#MeToo” movement, many fans were quick to mention the idea that this tweet wouldn’t fly had a man posted it. Many began responding to the tweet with the hashtag “#doublestandard.” Others went as far as to compare her to Weinstein and call her a “pig.”
As The Wrap notes, actor Michael Rapaport caught wind of the tweet and voiced his displeasure to Ellen, arguing that “the world would stop” if a man had sent this tweet.
Piers Morgan too speculated that, had a man tweeted something similar, Ellen would be leading the “cries of ‘SEXIST PIG!’”
Previously, the star dedicated her opening monologue to denouncing the growing environment of sexual harassment in Hollywood with an impassioned speech.
“This is not a male thing or a female thing, it is not a Hollywood or political thing, this is a human thing and it happens in the workplace, it happens in families, it happens all over the world and we are all the same,” she said. “We all want the same thing, we want respect, love and kindness. And if I could have those three things and an iPhone X, I’d be happy.”

There's a chef, John Besh, really renowned with lots of accolades, who had to step down recently amid accusations from 25 women that his company tolerated sexual assault. Of course, I haven't heard any specifics about what that sexual assault actually was.
All I can think is I could never own a restaurant in this country. If you're not employing every race, gender, sexual orientation under the sun you're putting yourself at risk. So you have a workplace filled with victimhood fetishists that look at you...in my case a tall, white, straight male...it's only a matter of time before a bomb goes off and you're in the middle of a fucking lawsuit.
For every dirty comment I've heard a guy say to a girl (or said myself) I've heard shit equally bad, if not worse, come out of girl's mouths at work. We all know this. Men and women fuck coworkers all the time, and yet the only ones at risk from doing so are men.
When the news broke about Harvey Weinstein my first thought was...No shit? A guy in Hollywood using his influence and power to get laid? You don't say! Go talk to any actress, from A list to D list, and ask her how many casting directors she's fucked and sucked. She won't like that question very much. Because they've all done it.
If anything, this is just going to turn more high profile, high net worth guys to escorts, or require a bunch of signatures before engaging in any sex act with some aspiring actress from Wisconsin. The value of American women plummets more and more.
Corey Feldman has announced a “truth campaign” to expose an alleged network of paedophiles working in Hollywood.
In a video posted to Twitter, the actor-turned-musician said that he was seeking to raise $10m (£7.6m) to fund the project, which will include a documentary providing an “honest and true depiction of child abuse” in the film industry.
“What I am proposing is a plan that can literally change the entertainment system as we know it,” Feldman said in the video. “I believe that I can also bring down, potentially, a paedophile ring that I have been aware of since I was a child. Right off the bat, I can name six names, one of them who is still very powerful today. And a story that links all the way up to a studio. It connects pedophilia to one of the major studios.”
Right so he knows about a pedophile ring and now he also wants to name names.
So will he be releasing this vital information to the authorities before he gets his $10 million or after? I mean I'm sure many kids lives may currently be in jeopardy, but he sure is taking his sweet time for the right moment. For all we know he might be suicided soon.

-Never get involved with a co-worker unless you don't mind losing your job over it.
-Never spend more than $40 on a date. If possible, let her pay for everything or 50/50.
-If she doesn't bang you by the third date, Dump That Bitch (DTB).
-No spooning, cuddling, hugging, or staying over. Get in, get out!
-Never be in a committed relationship UNTIL you are 25+ or really ready to settle down.

I wish him luck. He knows doing this is risky but when you have gone through being molested as a child in this fashion you just don't give a fuck. I am thinking about donating:
Quote:Corey Feldman is on a mission to expose alleged pedophiles in Hollywood who he claims targeted him and Corey Haim as children.
The former child star-turned-singer is raising money through an Indiegogo campaign to hire himself extra security and lawyers as he moves forward with his exposé. As of press time, the campaign has reached 1 percent of its “flexible goal” of $10,000,000.
“Ever since I discussed the fact that I have this plan, my life has turned to utter chaos,” Feldman, 46, said in a somber video posted Wednesday. “I’ve been silenced my whole life, but just over the past few days since I made that announcement, I’ve been arrested, I had a near-death experience last night where I felt like I was almost going to be killed. Two trucks came speeding at me at the same time on a crosswalk.”
Feldman, who previously claimed that he and the late Haim were “passed around” among Hollywood pedophiles, added that several of his band members quit out of fear for their own lives.
“I’m very alone. I need to protect myself and I need to protect my family,” he added. “I need additional security and I need a legal team to help represent me so that I can fulfill this mission.”

Seriously? What good does it do for someone to spill the beans for 10 million? He's hurting his own credibility with that. He could spill the beans in a tell all book at hit NYTimes bestseller list. He'd get his millions with that. Who would even drop a large donation enough for it? No conservative I know. No rich liberal in California would either.

I can see your point. I think its far easier to write a book (and less expensive) than to do a film. There are some parts of this that seem suspicious but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. If he is successful in getting this film off of the ground it'll could possibly do a lot of damage to Hollywood's reputation. If liberals want to take down the NFL, it's only poetic justice that their darling Hollywood goes down with it.

At the start of the movie, the viewer is suppose to see the guy as a perv that can't get women and have to resort to a robot, but after that scene one gets why the robot is better, women and the idea of concept are ridiculous.
The irony of the movie did not make that much money and was not relevant when release but as time passes the it gains more of a fallowing, similar to Fight Club.

This bullshit is just another mile marker on the escalation of the price of pussy. No man is supposed to get any pleasure from a woman until ALL women get what they want America is failing this shit test.

The link to all these dudes is they made the mistake of not learning game and instead using power as a means to push into women's pants. No man who is known as a player in Hollywood has been accused. Where is Leo ? He is a hound dog but no women is accusing him if anything as he knows how to handle women. We now see porky politicians and other dirt bags who are high-up the totem pole. Game still seems to be immune from this so hopefully this does burn down the left but also scares betas and soys away to never approach women. I do get worried though as many places are looking to make approaching women in public areas illegal and subject to fines along with banning catcalling.

Like I said before, someone was going to jump the shark and accuse someone who is considered far too friendly and harmless for this to be taken seriously anymore.
The accuser is a self-described "musician" and "healer" with weird teeth who has "undiagnosed PTSD", sells a "black liberation yoga system", and says her dream of becoming an astrophysicist fell apart because someone slipped her a mickey, and that that's the difference between her career and Tyson's.
Quote:How does it feel to know that YOU are the reason there is one less black female galactic astronomer on this planet? Yes, YOU.
Not her. It's totally not just because she was a shitty student.
If this goes viral, you have a kooky accuser going after someone well-regarded by the left and the mainstream public. Whether it's true or not, she may be about to popularize the false accusation as something that can happen to anybody.
Tyson should sue her and have the sheriff's department seize her Sideshow Bob hair as partial payment.
Quote:GOING TO OBERLIN WAS LIKE BEING AT A FULL TIME ORGEY. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS. ALL OF YOU WERE SICK THEN AND I HEAR IT IS EVEN WORSE NOW…..
When I experienced sexual assault at the hands of a student and sexual molestation from a professor that I was getting tutoring from, I report these incidents to the Dean of Students as well as the Physics Department chairman at the time, Joseph Palmieri. BOTH TIMES, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REMAIN SILENT BECAUSE IT WOULD RUIN THEIR LIVES AND KILL HIS POOR WIFE BETTY.
WHAT ABOUT MY LIFE? MY LIFE WAS RUINED.

This supposedly happened in 1984. She is still thin now at her advanced she so it's easy to think she was a hot redbone back in the day. I am not sure what power dynamic Neil had back then though over here or if they were peers.

See the update. She was also "assaulted" by a student and "molested" by a professor at Oberlin. Much of her rage is directed at using her "victimization" to explain her failures in life: why she's not an astronomer, why her husband divorced her, why her daughter won't speak to her. She's obviously bananas. Also, her teeth:
Reminds me of that "rape activist" Amber Amour, who was "raped" in South Africa by a man she decided to shower with while rape activising, and then Instagrammed the police response and posted pictures of herself going skinny-dipping.
