Magician David Copperfield is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior from 16 women, as revealed in an investigation by the
He has a track record of standing up for women’s rights
Yeah, dead giveaway. I hate to say it, but I have never once met or even heard of a man that was staunchly and loudly feminist that wasn’t compensating for their abusive sexual proclivities or just trying to gaslight women into sex. To me its a giant red flag. Most good men believe in equal rights and treat people equally, but don’t really go out of their way to convince the people around them that they’re trustworthy, unless they want you to trust them so they can take advantage of you. Hardcore feminist men are nine times out of ten total fucking creeps, unfortunately.
Standing up for women’s rights doesn’t necessarily equal creep - that’s what men should be doing. But you’re not wrong that men who are overly vocal about saying they’re a feminist are often creeps. It’s kind of like the Nice Guy thing in my experience - if you have to tell me (ad nauseum) how nice you are, I’m definitely suspicious. Men who are actually feminists don’t usually feel the need to say it 30 times in their dating profile, they’re just out there living it and it’ll be obvious to anyone paying attention.
Hmm, the psychology behind this claim is… Interesting.
Not surprised to see this coming from a conservative honestly
What makes you think I’m a conservative? I’m probably the farthest thing from a conservative you’ve ever spoken to on the internet. I must’ve hit a nerve here, seems like there are a lot of creeps masquerading as feminists hoping to get some puss out of it, can’t have people putting their strategy out there.
I remember your previous comments but nice try
FYI when you write out a thesis about how no one could be doing something for a genuine reason then that reinforces previous reasons to think you’re a conservative
The first name.that came.to my mind for someone like that was Hugo Schwyzer (I’m probably spelling that wrong) - he was very much a very outspoken feminist who made a point of drawing attention to how feminist he was at every opportunity. He was also a women’s studies professor.
Honestly, some of his writing gave me the vibe of what it would sound like if you were a recovering addict and chose feminism as the higher power in your 12 step program.
Eventually it comes out that he nearly decided to murder-suicide an ex, and that he was a women’s studies professor because it gave him access to an ever rotating stable of young, impressionable women to hook up with.
When he admitted to all that the wording again reminded me of 12 step program talk, like he was taking steps 5-7 publicly online because online feminism was the God he believed in for the program. It…didn’t get the response I think he hoped for. Less absolution and more ostracism and banishment.
I’ll bite. Give me 9 “hardcore feminist men” then.

You just described Trump, every televangelist, and anyone in business.
Hm, his statement in response to the Guardian is very unusual for someone accused of sexual misconduct. Either he feels very safe that he can hide this, or he really didnt do it and somehow is the target of a campaign.
Edit: The Guardian article literally has names and photos of the women who accuse him. That’s enough to convince me that they indeed were violated by him.
I am curious – why does the article including the names and photos of his accusers make this more credible to you?
Because for one, it means the Guardian actually spoke to multiple people and didnt just hear something via three other people. And it means those people are actually willing to have their names and faces known publically. Making false allegations under your real name would be quite stupid.
It would be really odd for there to be some shadowy targeted campaign against him considering he’s mostly irrelevant as a celebrity these days. Why would anyone go through the trouble and what could possibly be gained? He’s probably got some money but he’s not Oprah rich.
“Got some money”? He owns a bunch of islands in the Bahamas, with prices for 1 week stay starting at over $1M (probably much more these days since I’ve red about it a decade ago). That’s where people who are recognised everywhere in the world are going for their holidays, weddings, whatever.
He was making the sausage dissapear…
For my next trick, I’ll make this pickle disappear!
Minors?.. No mercy.
