I mean the truth is those “feminists” pretty much have an agenda to basically degrade the entire male human race. I appreciate women who speak up about actual situations they may have faced of being sexually harassed but not being quick to just overgeneralize every single man into a shell.

That said, all those guys were definitely creeps and I’d hate to see how they interact with women when all alone.

Some TikTok chick just got a job in journalism, and now people who actually went to college for a studied/majored in journalism are outraged because even after paying their dues, they still can't get into their chosen field. It probably also doesn't help matters that this chick is also really close friends with one of the Kraptrashian Sisters.

Either way, this is really hitting close to home and making me glad I never went to college . . . too many people I know who have gone to college and/or studied to get into a specific field of their choice have still never been able to get into their chosen field, despite earning whatever degree that was supposed to guarantee them a solid and successful future. Even when I was a kid growing up, college was regarded as something that every young person should consider enrolling in, because apparently companies were more likely to hire perspective new employees who could show that they the piece of paper that proves they've been studying for this line of work . . . not even the case anymore. I honestly can't think of one person I know who's around my age and/or in my generation who has gone to college and has managed to successfully make a career for themselves in their chosen fields - even many people on this very forum have said that going to college was nothing more than a waste of their time and money.

I mean, when you’re pretty much the eye-candy type chick who’s close with two famous public icon women, you pretty much get a free pass and have everything handed to you. Welcome to the double-standardy 21st century. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Yet **** like this is why a friend of mine back in highschool never bothered going because he didn't want to waste his time and money for something he wasn't going to get.

And I think this causes depression for most post college students.

I'm sure of it! It also doesn't help that the job market is generally stacked against them at a disadvantage: many companies say they want their perspective new employees to have X-amount of years experience for the job (even the lowliest levels of employment like janitors and custodians) . . . well, how are people even supposed to gain experience for a job if nobody will even let them have the job in the first place? On the flip side, at least some companies out there offer an on-the-job training course prior to their hiring, but not all are like this.

If I’m not mistaken I think Harvey Weinstein is Republican while Bill Cosby is democratic. So once again he basically got a democrat pass. **** this flawed system.
Harvey Weinstein is about as Democrat as it gets. He was a huge donor for the Democrat party and Obama's daughter had an internship with him. Can't forget to mention the time he went on MSNBC to smear Bernie Sanders as a "sexist" and announce that he's voting for Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, that was my bad. For some reason in the back of my mind I had thought he was Republican. Either way, the fact that Cosby is out after only three years says a lot.

Yeah, his case is a bit of a paradox. Cosby admitted his guilt in 2005 in a civil case after the prosecutor promised he would not pursue a criminal case against him. If the prosecutor had not violated his Fifth Amendment rights like that, Cosby never would've admitted to drugging women and likely wouldn't have seen any jail time. Basically, what caused Cosby to go to the jail is also the reason he ended up being freed.

Since we're back on this subject, I should point out another double standard we have here, and I don't mean political or racial . . . I mean genderwise.

With the exception of obviously Bill Cosby and John Lassester (and maybe Kevin Clash to a lesser extent), it seems like once a man is revealed to be a sexual predator, their career is pretty much over, and their shots of being given a second a chance are pretty slim. Then, you've got women like Lena Dunham - somebody who has not only confessed to but also bragged about molesting her own little sister as they were growing up - whose career hasn't suffered one iota of consequence as a result, and even continue to get work (such as Lena now producing and directing a live action Polly Pocket movie). Then again, we all know that there's a big, fat, glow-in-the-dark double standard when it comes to men (or other women) being sexually assaulted by women. IIRC, I think Michael Douglas and Demi Moore did a movie about that very thing.
