“If it happens at that moment,” she stated,“you discuss it at that moment. You make it a real thing by making it a police report. I’m going to really hate myself for saying this, but I think by women speaking against all these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women.”

THE RESPONSE:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF LATEST THING: Girl, please stop. After she protected Harvey Weinstein– and assaulted his separated spouse for not “being there for him”– it’s unexpected that anybody is asking Lohan for her ideas on the Me Too motion. Hers is a voice that does not require to be enhanced at this time.

If anything, Lohan’s remarks are evidence of how harmful the patriarchy can be: she confesses to disliking herself prior to taking down a neighborhood she determines within. What does that state about Lohan? This goes without stating, however the Me Too motion does not make ladies weak– speaking up about individual injury is the really personification of guts.

This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on tv and felt alone and different.”

THE RESPONSE:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF LATEST THING: So you believe Ruby Rose should not be cast as Batwoman due to the fact that she’s a bad star? Fine, that stands. But if you’re opposing this casting option due to the fact that you do not believe Rose is the ideal type of lesbian, than you must most likely log off of the Internet now.

THE RESPONSE:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF LATEST THING: Okay I feel … unusual about this. In case you do not have every IMDB page remembered, here’s a refresher on Michael Bay: he’s the man who directed PearlHarbor, Armageddon and all those Transformers motion pictures. Based on the very first appearance– and the production business connected– it appears like this teenage live-action Dora movie is going to be some type of Tombraider- esque adjustment. Which, I’m sorry, is simply something I do not require. Seriously, why does every advantage require an edgy live-action reboot? And likewise, how are they preparing to produce a live-action Boots?!

But hey, a minimum of they didn’t whitewash the function! No hate to teenage Dora, due to the fact that she looks gorgeous.
