When Hypocrites try to do the right thing. Even their efforts feel staged #ToxicFemininity

McGowan is a hypocrite, no way around that. Her words carry no weight

Hmmm. Its right that she is calling Asia Argento out on this, but the tone used in the statement is very, very different to what we've seen when it was a male perpetrator.

I'd like to chalk it up to her being closer to Asia and therefore being more sympathetic to a friend. But I really doubt a male friend of hers would receive the same sympathy were the positions reversed.

About the only positive I can find in this revelation, apart from justice for abused males too of course is that some, and only some women are now asking more questions about abuse in general. Rather than ignoring the fact that it's an issue at all for men.

We have an entire criminal justice system that is built around trying to give people justice while protecting everyone equally. It's not a perfect system. It often gets distorted by humans who let their own biases interfere with what they should be doing. But it is a system that have been designed over hundreds of years by some of the greatest thinkers to ever live.

But Rose and her MeToo buddies think they can just make a better system overnight based on whatever little ideas just popped into their heads.

It’s because they are doing it begrudgingly.

you were my friend

dropped her so fast

now I want Argento to prove herself innocent just to make McGowan look like even more of an asshole

It is beautiful when (a) their own policies are applied to themselves and (b) they start turning on each other.

She's not trying to do the right thing. She's trying to cover her ass.
