You know, if you’re honest and admit your failures, people are pretty forgiving. People want to help you if you take responsibility for yourself.

why do you think angela lansbury is right? i’m open-minded about interpretation and all that, just curious as to what kind of person i’m following

Personal responsibility is underrated. Not just on the men’s side but on the women’s side as well. As the strong, smart, empowered, self-actualized adults and human beings who believe in gender equality that feminists like to present themselves as, you would think that this wouldn’t need to be spelled out to these females. Now, I understand that some women are entirely innocent in harmful sexual encounters. They are genuine victims, and as such, need the appropriate support. However, I refuse to believe that ALL these women crying “me too” are genuine victims and I reject the narrative that EVERY accusation should be instantly believed, that ALL men are likely to abuse women, and that women NEVER make bad choices that create or worsen unwanted sexual encounters. Now, granted, I of all people am not against a woman’s right to be sexual. But a woman can be sexual and still exercise common sense at the same time; indeed they should, the two aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s like a witch hunt now. First Bill Cosby, then Harvey Weinstein, then Kevin Spacey, then Charlie Rose, now Matt Lauer…it’s like, who’s next?? If I had my way, I’ll tell you who’d be next, first, last, and evermore on my list: and that would be that orange sphincter-mouthed crock of shit that resides in the fucking White House. It’s easy to go after old ass men with their foot in the grave like George H.W. Bush and George Takei and now an old ass woman like Angela and talk about how she’s cancelled for having the audacity to not kowtow to the feminist rhetoric of perpetual victimhood, but if you actually want me to respect this “me too” shit, go after the real enemy: GO AFTER TRUMP! It’s public record what a garbage dump he is. This absolute failure to split any sort of responsibility all but guarantees its recurrence. It coincides with a stubborn refusal to reexamine the morphed definitions of sexual assault, which locks its existence for perpetuity. Bottom line: I think Angela Lansbury is right because there should be no shame in urging common sense.
