Clint Eastwood says “We’re really in a pussy generation”
Yeah. Goddam women everywhere, saying things. It was better in the good old days when they never left the kitchen. Fucking them on the linoleum was a little uncomfortable, but worth it for the silence.
He said it in an interview for Esquire (Please come in, Sir, your pussy will be with you shortly). He said it while endorsing Trump.
Eastwood, who said he hasn’t officially endorsed anyone yet and admitted “I haven’t talked to Trump,” also railed against what he perceives as a culture of “political correctness” in America. “We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist,” said Eastwood.
Yes, and they should have been. Good-bye, Rowdy Yates.
So, another one bites the dust.
Isn’t that the guy most famous for talking to a chair, on national TV or somesuch?
His day is made, in fact overcooked. Please recycle.
Funny, people like that who claim we’re all walking on eggshells don’t seem to behave as if they’re walking on eggshells. Unless by walking they mean stomping.
Isn’t it a shame you can’t call people what you think they are without someone pointing out how awful it is to call people such awful things? Imagine what the world would be like if everyone went around being nice to each other – so awful, no one would need gunslingers or rogue cops anymore.
I had it with him years ago when I happened to see, against my will, one of his man with no name shows, and he raped a girl, and she loved it, became his girlfriend. That was so disgusting, I wanted nothing to do with him, and there isn’t much he can do that surprises me.
Rob @2,
Yeah, I’m often struck by that, too. A couple of months ago, Conor Friedersdorf at The Atlantic published a column about his discussion with a Trump supporter who was college-educated and lived in Silicon Valley.
The Trump supporter talked a lot about how he felt so oppressed by political correctness, but when it came down to giving specific examples, it was… underwhelming:
Wow, that sounds — so, so very… weak. I bet that was a very traumatic fifteen seconds before you were able to explain that you didn’t know about the slur and certainly didn’t condone that, you just liked him as a wrestler.
A horrified stare? You poor, poor thing. It’s a wonder you’ve been able to sleep at night. (Why do I get the feeling that this same guy would tell a woman who was been ogled that she’s part of victim culture for complaining about a look, and would tell victims of online harassment to just “get over it”?)
(The rest of the interview is pretty similar. He’s very very troubled by the thought of Reddit closing some subreddits. And in terms of ideology, dude is all over the map: says he’s a libertarian, but describes himself as slightly authoritarians, and favors an elaborate regulatory system for employers all the better to catch illegal immigrants. But it’s ok, everyone, he’s not a racist, he has an Asian-American fiancee!)
Hmmm, I hope he has an Asian-American fiancée because he happens to love her to bits for the person she is, not because he has a fetish about Asian women, but you know… me cynic.
Jesus, you can like someone’s work without thinking they’re a great person; at the same time it’s unreasonable to expect others to validate what you like.
