A Crash Course in Feminism Mk. II (or, why everyone should be a feminist)

[Mr Mystery]

Well, not that he's showing us anyways.

There is that.

The last, scrabbling attempts at fame that is. That's pretty tragic.

No, it's worse.

That was his first scrabbling attempt at fame, and it apparently 'worked' - as in cretins seem to know who he is.

Hmm, that article seems to be more oriented around representation rather than sexualisation, but interesting data nonetheless.

This is currently all over tumblr.
I'd never heard of the bloke before dexbonus put an open letter up.

I can't believe nobody punched him for such disgusting behaviour.

Almost as depressing is that is you tube co star (whoever the hell he is) seems more concerned about the impact it has on his own career rather than the women his mate harassed.

[CoffeeGrunt]

Mainly because if his career bombs he'll be completely without pay due to his *** of a co-star. One must empathise that a person would focus on that over a few pinched bums, no matter how wrong it was for his co-star to do so.

[Houghten]

It's not just that. "He didn't know Sam was going to be publishing the video" and "YouTube is a place where you can get ripped to shreds" suggest he has more of a problem with making the videos public than with assaulting women in the first place.

It reads to me as "Sure, Sam, assault women, but don't admit it!"

[Wildeybeast]

Yeah that is my point. Sure, you'd be concerned about losing your livelihood, but if he was genuinely upset about women being molested in the street, that is what he would be going on about. Far too many of his comments are about himself. He says that what Sam did was wrong, but does he think it is wrong because abusing women like that is appalling or because he thinks that's what he has to say to try and distance himself from it and salvage his career? What we say and do under pressure is pretty good indicator to where our true thoughts lie and his are pretty self-centred, though given the company he keeps that isn't really surprising.
