To think a woman wouldn't be praised for this like a man was

Seen this story a few times today about Tom Cruise screaming at crew members on the set of Mission Impossible 7 for not social distancing and threatening to fire them www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/entertainment-arts-55330579

The comments on social media are almost unanimously positive, lots of "good for him" "well done Tom" and "he's gone up in my estimation".

Any time I see something like this I imagine how the reaction would be if it was a story about a woman. If Nicole Kidman had done this I bet my bottom dollar she'd be branded a psycho, hysterical, over emotional, needs to calm down, who does she think she is speaking like that to those poor men etc.

FWIW I think he behaved appallingly if my boss screamed at me at work I'd have something to say about it.

But AIBU to think a woman would have been treated differently for doing the same thing?

@GlummyMcGlummerson

And Serena Williams plays the woman card and you all peddle it , when in reality it's more to do with times having moved on.

What's a woman card? Can you explain please? And what advantage has she got from "playing live it?

Times haven't moved on. Aggressive sportsmen are ten a penny.

I will never ever understand why women aren't in their own side.

Come on this isn't sport team tribal i dont have to agree with you just because you are a woman.

@Wheresmykimchi you thought I should buy my ex's nephews and nieces presents because ex wouldn't and you think you're not sexist. Alright then 🧐

[quote GlummyMcGlummerson]@Wheresmykimchi false accusations are so vanishingly rate that even you could only think of one. I could give you dozens of male celebrities who've actually raped and beaten women who still have career

That's a fact BTW about the low false accusation - it has been quantified by the department of justice. I could send you a link - but I strongly suspect you're not interested in anything that refutes your point that feminists are sexist meanies[/quote]
I am a feminist.

I'm just not your kind of feminist.

Nor do I want to be , because you give it a bad name.

Are you still talking about this glummy? It's really quite pathetic. Nobody is that interested in who you do or don't buy presents for. They really aren't , despite your good work in bringing it into every single thread in the hope uoul get better responses than you did on your original thread.

GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:21

False accusations are rare.

I've heard it all now.

Yup. You want a link to show the stats?

For every 165 women raped, 1 man is falsely accused. And that's just what's reported - we know only half of rapes are reported. The stats are similar for domestic violence.

But the fact you get your knickers in a knot about the tiny number of false accused says all I need to know about you.

You really don't like men do you Glummy. We got that.

You've mentioned it 2/3 times on this thread and the same numbr on the last thread you and your pals managed to turn into men Vs women. I don't need to stalk , it's there!

Interestingly you remember what I said on your thread a good few weeks ago so I don't think I'm the stalker Grin

Have a wee watch of Emma Watson's video on men and women coming together. You probably won't like her. She's got a boyfriend and acted with men in films Shock
GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:24

@Wheresmykimchi so you want me to cry about all the (hardly any) false accusations that happen? No thanks I'd rather channel my energy into something like the 85,000 women raped a year

You don't want to see the stats then? How every convenient.

Stop following me into thread please it's creepy

OP posts:
GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:25

No I do t like Emma Watson because she thinks sex is irrelevant. And no I won't watch videos as advised by a misogynist thanks

I was going to say that you will soon be told that your not a feminist but I see that glummy has already played that card.

Skysblue · 16/12/2020 18:26

Yanbu. Just watched a bit of the video of the sound guy and I had to stop watching, thought it looked like classic workplace bullying by Cruise and felt awful for the sound guy. There were many better ways to handle that than hurling abuse and shouting/swearing / threatening to fire someone for eating a doughnut. Also think it was really mean to release the video.

Looked to me like Tom is terrified of catching it (fair enough, must be worrying having to work with no mask etc) and lashing out at those less powerful around him.

A woman would never be celebrated for that behaviour I agree. Not sure why Cruise is, guess he has lots of mates in the media.

GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:26

Nah mate, just a tendency to remember some of the, ahem, stranger posters and posts on here

But you aren't channeling your energy into that.

You're channeling your energy into prattling on about presents.

I don't want to see any stats becuase you have an agenda. So you could show me all the stats you like , I'm still not going to believe you're anything other than a sexist man hater burned by men claiming to be a feminist.

And you're going to think I'm a misogynist woman hater who sucks up to men so thats fine Grin

I wonder if all these women actually want you fighting their battles and 'on their side ', or if they live in the real world where there is good and bad everywhere.

GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:27

@Skysblue I hadn't actually seen the video do you have a link?

I just quite enjoyed that the thread ended having completely flipped from the pile on it had become , if I'm honest.

I'm a woman hating man loving misogynist non feminist actually. (Who thought glummy should buy a present about three months ago but she's not mentioned that ).
GlummyMcGlummerson · 16/12/2020 18:28

You're channeling your energy into prattling on about presents.

Well actually IRL I volunteer in a group for women who are CSA and domestic violence survivors. I've posted about this before. So I am channelling actual energy into good work.
You probably think I'm sexist though as we don't accept men into the group.

I won't take away from the group you do.

But I worry about someone convincing domestic abuse survivors that all men are bad and terrible.

And fwiw , I am one.
