    "Political Lesbianism" was one of the more fascinating terms, I learned:  Women who aren't sexually attracted to other women, but hate men so much they consider themselves Lesbian.

    Sorry, failing grade. Political lesbianism has zero to do with "hating men." Patriarchy is systemic. Hating patriarchy is not aimed at men, as vast numbers of women participate in maintaining the evil and corrupt system of patriarchy.

  2. But as Oprah mentioned last night, his superstar status was a factor in the mothers' failed thinking.

    As someone else said: “And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

     

    I haven’t yet watched the Oprah special, but she would have done a great service if she mentioned Trump’s tape as a shining example of the celebrity dynamic. I’m doubtful that she did, though...

  3. And they're substantially similar to the testimony of the boys who sued civilly and Jackson settled with and the one whose accusations ended in an acquittal.

     

    Jackson admitted sleeping with children. Apparently no one disputes that he gave one interviewee (I forget which one) an expensive ring, which the recipient has said Jackson characterized as a symbol of their relationship. It's undisputed that as his "friends" aged he dropped them for younger boys. Occam's razor says the simplest, most obvious and most likely hypothesis should be the first one considered. If it looks like child molestation, walks like it and talks like it, why accept innocent explanations? There is absolutely no good reason other than abuse for a grown man to have sleepovers with underage boys who aren't his relatives.

    Also when will there be a reckoning for Bryan Singer, who was powerful enough to get Esquire not to run the piece that The Atlantic then agreed to run?

    All true. The degree of detail in the testimony of Wade and Jimmy, often shocking, is also way beyond anything that could be fabricated for a false smear.

     

    The diamond jewelry thing is also discussed. When Jimmy opens the jewelry box and puts a child-size ring on his finger, too small to go beyond the first knuckle, his voice cracks. A horrifying moment.

    The Jackson family response--

     

    It is all lies.

    “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” — Upton Sinclair

     

    The Jacksons are going down. The two men’s graphic descriptions, made during separate and uncoordinated interviews, are nearly identical — which makes them even more believable.

  5. “Leaving Neverland” is finally here, Part I on HBO tonight, Part II tomorrow night. (Both parts are streaming today.) It’s the testimonial story of James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who as children were sexually assaulted for years by superstar pedophile Michael Jackson.

     

    I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary with a mix of eagerness and trepidation. It’s a very important moment for a hugely significant subject.

  6. That being said, Driving Miss Daisy (and Crash) just doesn't hold up all that well on any list.

     

    Ahh... those critics. They didn't like it when the Black man was the driver. Now, they hate it when the Black man is the passenger. Confused bunch, aren't they?

    Uh, that’s not what the critics are saying. o_O
