Showing Original Post only (View all)Hey Roman Polanski... Fuck You [View all]
You might not suppose Roman Polanski and the 87-year-old Jerry Lewis had a great deal in common, but today the director followed Lewis' suggestion that broad comedy is inappropriate for women actors by complaining that aiming for female equality is "a great pity".
Speaking at the Cannes film festival of his latest film Venus in Fur, the 79-year-old Polanski said that "trying to level the genders is purely idiotic." "Offering flowers to a lady has become indecent
The pill has greatly changed the place of women in our times, masculinising her. It chases away the romance in our lives."

I would expect no less from a pedophile rapist, that he doesn't view women as equals. nt

Shouldn't a guy who's out to screw a lot of women consider birth control a *good* thing?

As far as pedophile directors go I prefer Polanski’s films over Woody Allen’s

The Cave/Freep trolls may think that "TEH LEFT" worships and defends Polanski...
