Holy shit. Brie Larson says "I merely smiled at a TSA agent and he asked for my phone number. To live life as a woman is to live life on the defense." You are EXACTLY the person the dude is talking about. You had to defend yourself against the agent who simply asked for your number? Or am I enabling a rapist?

Reddit has a big subforum of women talking about their rapes. Some legit, some, "I said yes the whole time/it didn't feel right/i was assaulted." Every single post, massive hugfest, and no one can call them on bullshit without getting banned.
There's no stopping the crazy train, at this point.
“I just wanted to come out and do an empowered scene that wasn’t sexual — it was naked, but it was strong. I get a lot of crap for having done nude scenes and sex scenes, That, in itself, is so anti-feminist. Women hating on other women is just the problem. That’s upsetting.”
She's right, of course. Where is the power in hiding the female form? A strong naked woman IS a feminist statement.
I think the feminists who had issue with it are more pissed that nobody wants to see them naked...

The Love, Death + Robots "Good Hunting" episode is a nice example of strong feminism without fear of their form.

The owner is clearly batshit crazy. She's the worst kind of bigot, the one who doesn't even see their own bigotry because they're too busy seeing bigotry.
“The man tax blew up the internet, an idea that we didn’t think was all too radical, yet the way the world responded showed us how fragile masculinity is and solidified the necessity for us to confront and dismantle patriarchy.
“We were just one little tiny shop on Sydney Rd that was trying to carve out a swathe of space to prioritise women and women's issues, and suddenly we became the punching bag of Melbourne and the internet.
"Yes, we are the evil, discriminatory, man-hating d***s who charge men more when didn't you know the wage gap doesn't even exist!? Meanwhile gentlemen’s social clubs live on and strong around Melbourne and the world over…”
