Wtf? Other than the imgur post, these all sound fine.Cavill has been known to be a desperate piece of shit in the past though. I guess the chase means something different to him.
On diversity in Hollywood he had this to say last year.
Nice attempt to run down the problem, Henry. Let's hear more of your thoughts on increasing diversity from last year.
Look. The guys just "asking questions" ok? That's definitely not a curious statement to make. But wait there's more on his views about catcalling:
Uhhhh. And then he kicks the ball ten miles wide with the follow up:
Okay, fuck off Cavill. You're a cheap Jon Hamm replacement and the world can do better than booking your chauvinism in the future.

It's amazing how caville can take a fairly understandable point and say it in as awful a way as possible, adding like ten layers of implications in the process.
"It's better to step away," says Cavill when asked whether he reads his own interviews. "A lot of stuff, in the written word, sounds very different from the intention."
Oh right. That comment on diversity ....Wtf? Other than the imgur post, these all sound fine.
"Don't say inappropriate things that may upset my gf!"
"fuck off Cavill!"
I "get" it but man, some people need to learn how to talk to women...you just be there friend. It's that simple.I get what he says, see no issues. Maybe not communicated 100% as it should be but I get it. The outrage in this thread is absurd.
"magine being a woman--perhaps one who has suffered sexual harassment or assault--coming into these threads, and seeing all these posts about false rape accusations and lying women. It tells me, "I don't believe women." It tells me, "I believe all women are spiteful enough to falsely accuse a man of rape over the smallest insult." It tells me, "I have no empathy for women." It hurts, it does, and it's part of what drove so many women away from GAF, near the end."

This is literally my experience in every thread like this. Fucking gross that in every thread about rape or sexual assault dudes have to remind everyone how important it is that a VERY small minority of rape accusations are false! I don't even bother asking posters to be sensitive about it, or tell them that I've been sexually abused and raped because it's just ignored or hand waved and they go back to their tunnel vision narratives about lying women and "men have problems too!"
You would think after #MeToo they would realize just how rape and sex assault is, But nope, gotta make it about them evil lying women.
Or the ones that are around women every day and are and have been in relationships...the problem isn't not being exposed to the real world; it's apathy. They don't give a fuck.Good post but we all know what kind of males think like this, the ones that have probably never spoken to a female in the real world and cannot fathom the seriousness of rape and assault.
Yeah. Incel types are certainly a problem, but on a wider note it's just certain men who lack the ability to empathize with women. They don't even try to understand the female point of view, and all that's left to express is just the fear they'll be labeled a creep or rapist.Or the ones that are around women every day and are and have been in relationships...the problem isn't not being exposed to the real world; it's apathy.

I'm reaaaaally trying to understand him here. Best case scenario id like to think in my head he was thinking something like 'because I'm in the public eye, if I go and flirt with someone and they happen to not like it or go to the press, the press will make a massive deal of it and i could inadvertently get pulled into the valid movement against abuses of power thats going on when all I wanted was consensual sex and a date as a single guy and my flirting got miscontrued'.
"Now? Now you really can't pursue someone further than, 'No'. It's like, 'OK, cool'. But then there's the, 'Oh why'd you give up?' And it's like, 'Well, because I didn't want to go to jail?'"
"It's very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it's like: 'Well, I don't want to go up and talk to her, because I'm going to be called a rapist or something'.
When you put forward your attempts to attract a partner as "chasing" them, maybe you need to look at yourself.He worded that abysmally, but I understand what he's getting at.
Guys are afraid that their intentions will be misconstrued when all they're trying to do is woo a girl.
...What's the right way of saying it? There are so, so many of people saying variations of this in this thread, but I don't get it at all. It's not the wording that's the problem here, but the sentiment behind the words--the idea that women who make up false rape accusations are so common and all over the place that he's hesitant to date because, due to how common he thinks those events are, that that's exactly the type of thing that would happen to him if he did date. There is NO good way of wording that. The wording ain't the problem. It's the entire sentiment.I get what he's trying to say but wow he worded it super poorly.
"There's a traditional approach to that, which is nice. I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I'm old-fashioned for thinking that."
"Now? Now you really can't pursue someone further than, 'No'. It's like, 'OK, cool'.
Given the industry he works in, i mean. I'm sure it's scary for his ego....What's the right way of saying it?

No...he isn't?I mean, I get what he's saying. Basically he doesn't want to put himself in a situation where him and a girl are flirting out of fear of being a target (called a rapist) because of his status. Makes sense. He didn't say anything bad, he's just playing it safe (contacting previous girlfriend)
Cavill plays WoW so he probably has very little experience with women.Good post but we all know what kind of males think like this, the ones that have probably never spoken to a female in the real world and cannot fathom the seriousness of rape and assault.
I want to say this but never get the wording (lol) right....What's the right way of saying it? There are so, so many of people saying variations of this in this thread, but I don't get it at all.

Shockingly, a more appropriate answer to the bolded would be: 'Bitch, you said NO!' or 'Stop playing hard-to-get!' or some combination of both.
When has this happened...?You have to think about what he's saying as if you were a successful male in Hollywood. One scandal can end your career now.
I wish I could just re-post this image over and over for half of the replies in this thread.
But again, it's not the wording that's the problem. It's the idea that there are masses of women out there just waiting to falsely accuse him if he were to date, to the point that he's scared of dating. That's a very harmful idea regardless of wording that has no basis in reality whatsoever. Him being a star or wahtever has nothing to do with it, because there's zero evidence that it's any more likely to happen to celebrities than anyone else. There's zero evidence of some conspiracy that women are out in mass-force to take celebrities down and falsely accuse people of sexual harassment or rape to the point that anyone should be scared of such a thing.You have to think about what he's saying as if you were a successful male in Hollywood.

It's easy to be anonymous and hit on girls when you're single.
He could've worded it better that's for sure.
I have a guilty pleasure for these kind of topics. It makes the forum idiots fall on their sword and thus Era is a slightly better place to be.
Good grief, do some of you honestly know how to talk to a woman? Because some of these responses make me think a conversation goes something like this:
Woman: "It's a lovely day, isn't it?"
Man: "Hold my penis!"
Worried about being falsely accused of rape, are you kidding me? Like somehow, women are not afraid to talk to men despite the much higher chance of being attacked/stalked/harassed/raped. Yet some men act as if every woman is out to get their mediocre ass. Bloody hell, either stop imaging stupid scenarios in your head; Actually stop being creepy, because it's probably is you; Or on the off chance you are constantly in fact falsely accuse you of harassment, find better women to hang out with.
