Kirsten Dunst Thinks Actresses Ask To Be Sexually Harassed

Kirsten Dunst, former it girl and current person who says things that are maybe kinda sexist, is at it again. First she told Harper's Bazaar UK that traditional gender roles are her jam. And now she's saying in W magazine that actresses who get taken advantage of by their directors are probably asking for it.

Dunst initially caused a minor firestorm earlier this month when Harper's Bazaar UK published an interview with her for its May issue. It seems she has lots of feelings on women knowing their place:

"I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued.... We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking – it's a valuable thing my mum created. And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour. I'm sorry. You need a man to be a man and a woman to be a woman. That's why relationships work…"

The comments, needless to say, made more than a few people angry. But instead of trying to make people forget, backtracking, or even clarifying her point in a way that makes a little more sense, Dunst is just doubling down. In Friday's W interview with Sofia Coppola, with whom Dunst has worked many times, she explains why she's never been groped by a director:

I feel like you and I are so on the same page about how to approach things. Have you ever worked with a director you didn't agree with? And if so, what did you do?

I have, and it takes all the fun out of what you do. You just get through it instead of having a meaningful experience.

What if a director pounces on you while working? Has that ever happened?

No [laughs]. I don't give off that vibe. I think that you court that stuff, and to me it's crossing a boundary that would hinder the trust in your working relationship.
Yep. People trying to make it in a business where a reputation can be destroyed by a single bad rumor are definitely giving off a grope-me vibe. After all, white-knight power structures are there for a reason.

I wonder if she thinks women should have the right to vote?

Christians Try to Convert Jews With Video of Jesus as Holocaust Victim

Ok, who in their right mind thought this up as something that would actually make a Jewish person want to convert? It is one of the most baffling videos I have ever seen

Were they aware that jesus was born Jewish? That their religion sprung from theirs? That none of it would exist without it???

What ****ing ******* thought it was a good idea to have jesus in a concentration camp for EASTER?

FFS! People today!

 

[Teelie]

The Religious Right, gotta love tolerate them.

And Kirtsten Dunst? I don't know what era she is living in.

 

[KevanG]

The only movie I've seen Dunst in that she did a decent acting job was Interview with the Vampire.

 

[Teelie]

Maybe she's still living in that era?

 

[KevanG]

1994?

 

[Teelie]

I meant 1794, when the movie takes place.

 

[KevanG]

I know. She seems to be though.

Watch Portugal launch a drone and immediately fail by crashing it

Well, hmph. That's not how drones work guys. Supposedly, this video shows Portugal attempting to launch a naval drone by giving it a running start. As the drone is thrown in the air to fly, it immediately nosedives and crashes into the ocean. What a wonderful failure.

[YT]7NpemFgUH08[/YT]

If that's how they "launch" their drones, man oh man, they have a ways to go

 

[Octoberist]

No wonder Portugal is in trouble.

 

[KevanG]

I wonder if they know of these things called 'engines' that mean you don't need to give them a running start. I hear you can get them in RC planes.

Curious Criminal Swings by Police Station, Gets Himself Arrested

A man in Austria this week was just checking in with local authorities to see if they had any dirt on him, and oh wait—he was wanted on four counts of fraud and embezzlement. What a twist!

According to police spokesman Anton Schentz, the 59-year-old German man checked in at a local police station just to make sure they had "nothing on him." He was escorted thereafter to a Salzburg prison, where he's probably got a whole host of other curious questions up his sleeves.

I'm kind of confused to his game plan here, just what exactly did he think they were going to do when they told him they did have dirt on him? I don't think this guy really thought all of this through

(Reuters) - A Washington state man who prosecutors said beat his crying infant daughter and put her in a freezer for 90 minutes so he could take a nap was sentenced on Friday to 16 years in prison, authorities said.

Maybe his conscience started to bother him....? I have no idea about this. Could he not have done that online? I'm not familiar with Austria's legal system. That story is a weird one.

 

[KevanG]

That guy's ****ing psycho. Prison is too good for him.

What the hell..

proves once again that everyone should be a parent. In this case, he didn't have the condom on and abortions are too expensive. Or he's a fake Catholic.

For whatever reason the link doesn't finish loading for me. It keeps spinning its wheels but not actually getting there.

Who's worse? This guy or Casey Anthony?

Both.

From that article

(Reuters) - A Washington state man who prosecutors said beat his crying infant daughter and put her in a freezer for 90 minutes so he could take a nap was sentenced on Friday to 16 years in prison, authorities said.

Tyler Deutsch, 26, wanted to take a nap in May, but his daughter was crying, so he put her in the freezer before going to his bedroom and falling asleep, Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said in a statement.

About 90 minutes later, Deutsch awoke to the baby's mother coming home and rushed to the freezer to pull out his daughter, Lindquist said. The mother, seeing Deutsch take the infant out of the freezer, called 911, he said.

The girl, who was wearing only a diaper, had a body temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 Celsius) and suffered blisters, a broken arm, a broken leg and a head injury, Lindquist said.

"Though the child has fully recovered, and we are grateful for that, this was a horrible and inexplicable crime," Lindquist said.

An attorney for Deutsch could not be reached immediately for comment. Deutsch, who is from Tacoma, pleaded guilty to first-degree assault in January.
