Not Feminism 101

So true, but a lot of flashing at 4:00.

This is the kind of thing that shows anti-abortionists for what they really are.

They’re breaking down doors in an attempt to arrest the violent perpetrator of the crime, right?

Right?

It’s so disgusting. There was a similar case a few years ago. It’s pure misogyny and whatever they might say to try to disguise it, there is not covering up what is behind this.

For some reason, the first thing I thought of was Gwyneth Paltrow, whom I despise.

I can see how you’d make that connection. She should just drop the pseudo-science GOOP nonsense and just act.

She’s not always a horrible actress; I remember being stunned at her performance in Proof when I saw it one night on the TV. (Though having Anthony Hopkins play her father helped.)

I still don’t have much if any respect for her personally after all the snake oil shilling and ultra-privileged posturing, but on occasion, she can act. :smiling_imp:

When was the last time she had a lead role in anything?

The last I saw was “Iron Man 3”, from 2013. But “Avengers: Endgame”, she was in that…does that count?

my admittedly fuzzy memory recalls that Pepper Potts was there mostly as a love interest for Tony Stark. She may have done interesting stuff. She may have conversed with another actress about a topic unrelated to a male lead. But she wasn’t playing a Wonder Woman. She wasn’t playing a Supergirl. She was playing a supporting role and not a lead.

Maybe Goop was a way to play a lead role without people like Harvey Weinstein.

I didn’t say it was a lead role, I said that was the last film I saw her in; “Iron Man 3”, that is.

When did Afghanistan decide to omit the mother’s name? Is it really a long held tradition, or was it invented by Mohammed Omar?

If she’d be able to be herself…I’ve seen her act AND dance and she was incredible.
