Keira Knightley has criticised the amount of sexual violence against women in films, saying that she prefers period stories to contemporary-set dramas because, in the latter, “the female characters nearly always get raped”.

If all the movies you watch feature women being raped, at a certain point I think you bear some responsibility for having a fetish for rape movies. I know I can't remember the last move I've seen that featured rape without going back many years.

“In my personal life, when I’ve been in bars, I can count four times when I’ve been assaulted in a minor way.

I can count way, WAY more than four times I've been assaulted by women and I think most men could say the same. The difference is women feel entitled to grope men at will and expect no repercussions or judgements about it.

Meanwhile the men are getting killed and maimed in the hundreds, no big though, right?

Wait, do you mean "historical piece" sexual violence like this Miss Knightley? (NSFW)

I guess you cashed those checks though didn't you, before you went all #MeToo with the other lemmings?

I find it hilarious when rich Hollywood actresses complain about the "pay gap." I'm only making a million dollars when this guy is making 2 million, wahhh!!!

Yeah, I feel so sorry for you.

“Where are the [female] directors, where are the writers?

So what is she writing? What projects is she directing?

As usual, we have a person whining about what other people should be doing, rather than doing it herself.

Lol, in the actual periods her movies are set in, women got raped routinely. Nice to live in a fantasy world when you're rich and pretty enough that you don't need tits.

What movies is she watching?

Too self-important to play a B character, I see.

When will she realize her true calling? The roles of a lifetime! Biographies of Jodie foster ellen degenerate and rosie o donnel.
