Outrage erupts as male reporter involved with Aziz story refers to Headline News' Ashleigh Banfield appearance - insulting her lipstick, her hair, her age, one insult after another. They're coming after this guy pretty bad.

Women trying desperately to one up each other over who is more womanly.

Someone pass the popcorn, peanuts, and can I get a beer for the show please?

That is not what I've seen. There was a big thread on exactly that question on AskWomen, I think. [Edit: I couldn't find it on AskWomen. I'd read a related thread on AskMenOver30] I've seen other feminist discussions. Consensus was that Katie Way is an unprofessional air-head, out of her depth with this story, and that her bizarre public personal bitch-attack on Ashleigh Banfield underscored that.

Most still thought the allegations were credible and make Ansari look hypocritical. From memory quite a few questioned whether the story should have been published with just a single source, which I agree should not have been done. Some filed this under bad sex and questioned why he was named.

Said it before and I'll say it again, it's the classic problem of who do feminists side with if it's a ethnic minority getting accused by a woman? Their ideology puts them in an impossible situation, but almost every time, the majority of them will pick the ethnic minority.

All it's going to take is for more minorities in Hollywood to get accused of doing creepy shit and the feminists are going to tear each other apart over this issue. They're more scared of appearing racist than anything else in the world, the only way this could get any more ridiculous if we get someone high profile like Trevor Noah accused of something.
