girlfriends call him, \u201cDr. Horrible\u201d \u2013 has reportedly been a very bad boy. In a guest blog post at TheWrap.com, ex-wife Kai Cole revealed some pretty creepy, sinister details about the 53-year-old Ron Howard lookalike\u2026 namely some hypocritical behavior regarding his supposed feminist ethics.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"dbkhl-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"ccan4-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"ccan4-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"ccan4-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> Kai Cole was married to Joss Whedon for 16 years, and \u2013 according to her \u2013 he, quote, \u201chid multiple affairs and a number of inappropriate emotional ones that he had with his actresses, co-workers, fans, and friends.\u201d This wasn\u2019t revealed to her until a decade into their marriage, but all the while, Cole had her suspicions. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"3v1t-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3v1t-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3v1t-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> For example, she was always uncomfortable with the, quote, \u201cattention Joss paid other women. He always had a lot of female friends, but (Joss) told (her) it was because his mother raised him as a feminist, so he just liked women better. He said he admired and respected females, he didn\u2019t lust after them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3v1t-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"f5u3s-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"f5u3s-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"f5u3s-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> After having confessed everything to Cole through a series of letters, Joss said the following to her, and every one of his words outlines the workings of the stereotypical male feminist mind.

As a guilty man I knew the only way to hide was to act as though I were righteous.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"f5u3s-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"cpd4e-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"cpd4e-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"cpd4e-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> Kai goes on to outline the obvious hypocrisy here: that Joss has always preached feminist ideals, while, quote, \u201cat the same time, taking away (Kai\u2019s) right to make choices for (her) life and (her) body based on the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"cpd4e-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"193h0-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"193h0-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"193h0-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> But she now sees, like we all do, how he, quote \u201cused his relationship with (her) as a shield, both during and after (their) marriage, so no one would question his relationships with other women or scrutinize his writing as anything feminist.\u201d As a result of this experience, Kai Cole was diagnosed with Complex PTSD (not from being lied to for 15 years, but from the mathematically complex mental gymnastics Joss Whedon\u2019s mind must go through to justify this immoral, disgusing hypocrisy).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"193h0-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"b6i65-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"b6i65-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"b6i65-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> Due to this controversy, a Joss Whedon fansite, known as Whedonesque, has shut down.

Giving credit where credit&#8217;s due, symbols such as the Ku Klux Klan related Blood Drop Cross and The Reichsadler, Imperial Eagle, of Nazi Germany do have undoubted ties to supremacy movements. However other symbols on the list, such as the Norse Valknot and Sonnenrad, or sunwheel, have more dubious ties to supremacist ideals.<\/p>\n<p>The list becomes downright ridiculous with the inclusion of the Kekistani flag. The Kekistani flag and Kekistan itself, a fictional territory created and made popular by places such as 4chan and Reddit, has been used to troll those not in on the joke since around a year ago when it was created during President Donald Trump&#8217;s 2016 run for The White House. This isn&#8217;t the first time the Kekistan flag has been mistaken for a symbol of white supremacy. Dan Siegel, attorney of the alleged Berkeley bike lock attacker Eric Clanton, claimed to the press that the flag was a symbol of The KKK after a court hearing. Despite having no tangible ties to hate groups or white supremacy movements, Kekistan and the Kekistani flag are still considered hate symbols by groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.indy100.com\/article\/symbols-white-supremacy-swastika-virginia-confederate-statue-violence-7902946 https:\/\/www.infowars.com\/video-bike-lock-lawyer-triggered-by-kek-flag-claims-its-kkk\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"1ip10-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"1ip10-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"1ip10-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"8c9u2-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"8c9u2-0-0\"><strong><span data-offset-key=\"8c9u2-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Google E-Mails Employees Weekly on Microaggressions<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"3rrcf-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3rrcf-0-0\"><strong><span data-offset-key=\"3rrcf-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">By Andrew G.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3rrcf-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"66jmi-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"66jmi-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"66jmi-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">The Google Saga as it relates to James Damore continues. Recently, James Damore was fired from Google for disseminating a memo that addressed reasons for the gender disparity seen in the tech industry, as well as a list of potential solutions to narrow the gap. Damore\u2019s memo, in general, addressed the Ideological Echo chamber within Google\u2019s workplace. Damore was eventually fired; the main cause for his termination being the creation of a \u201chostile work environment.\u201d Since his firing, Damore has given many interviews, most recently meeting with Cathy Young.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"66jmi-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"5v09d-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5v09d-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"5v09d-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">During Damore\u2019s interview with Young, Damore revealed that Google sends out a weekly e-mail to its employees regarding microaggressions, asking for examples seen throughout the workplace to be submitted. In his own words, Damore said that \u201cmicroaggressions are being taught and compared to actual violence.\u201d One example that was blown out of proportion involved an employee suggesting to use a more attractive person in an advertisement to generate an increase in traffic via more page clicks. Based on the many lists of so-called microaggressions being disseminated through the public sphere, especially on college campuses, Google most likely receives many microaggression example submissions.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5v09d-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"4jqmg-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"4jqmg-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"4jqmg-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Despite what some people claim about microaggressions, recent studies, such as \u201cMicroaggressions: Strong Claims, Inadequate Evidence\u201d by Scott O. Lilienfld suggest that microaggressions have not been fully researched. Without more research and development with regards to so called Microaggression Research Programs(MRP), it would be unwise to continue to use the term \u201cmicroaggression\u201d until the MRP\u2019s scientific limitations are addressed. However, it is doubtful that Google will stop its practice of soliciting examples of microaggressions seen throughout the workplace.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"4jqmg-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"60hma-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"60hma-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"60hma-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Sources:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"680jo-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"680jo-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"680jo-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/fired-google-engineer-james-damore-says-the-company-sends-employees-a-weekly-email-on-microaggressions\/article\/2632002<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"7e46n-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"7e46n-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"7e46n-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">https:\/\/reason.com\/archives\/2017\/08\/14\/an-interview-with-james-damore\/ <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"fu7ia-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"fu7ia-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"fu7ia-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1745691616659391?journalCode=ppsa<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"15e8b\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">agepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1745691616659391?journalCode=ppsa<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><strong>Man Stabbed 4 Times Saving a Woman<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><strong>By L Kemlo<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\">A terrorist attack in Finland has left two women dead and eight people injured: six women and two men. The lone 18-year-old attacker, who has been described as an asylum seeker from Morocco by police, went on a stabbing spree in a market place in the city of Turku on Friday. According to the Finnish investigators it is thought that the attacker was specifically targeting women and the men were wounded after coming to their defense.<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bfeod-0-0\">One of the men, Hassan Zubier, a Briton was stabbed four times in the neck and chest. Mr Zubier told Swedish daily Expressen from the Turku hospital (as cited by The Telegraph) : &#8220;We [he and his girlfriend] were strolling around the square when we suddenly heard someone screaming. I turned around and saw a guy stabbing a woman with a knife while she was on the ground. I rushed to help her and tried to stop the blood flow. I tried to stop the violent bleeding from her throat.
