Warren Beatty

I just have a hard time believing

That at one point

Every woman in Hollywood

Wanted to have sex

With Warren Beatty

Now, I’ve seen the old movies

I get that, uh, I get that

That he was--

I’m sure he’d be attractive

To, you know, some people

Not me

I mean--

Maybe if I was older

Or, like, if I was young

At the time

When he was young

Looks change

Fashions change

But I think it’s more likely

That, like--

Women were just expected

To like Warren Beatty

That there was this

Agreed upon--thing

In Hollywood

That you had to like him

Because he was him

And, uh, I mean,

He wasn’t the first guy

That they pulled that with

That’s a thing, right?

That’s a thing

That Hollywood

The movie industry

Just does

Does and did

Where they’re like--

Like this guy

And then people do

But it’s complicated

Because

If women were, you know

Consensually doing things

With Warren Beatty

Then
We can’t really have a problem with that

Right?

But what if they’re doing stuff with him

Because they feel like

They have to

Because they’re been, like, gaslit

Into believing

It’s in their best interest

Or that

They should be attracted to him

Even if they’re not

You know, if enough people

Tell you

That somebody is attractive

The human brain

Is not programmed

To fight off

That kind of influence

Attraction is something--

You can quote

All the science you want at me

And god knows I respect science, but--

The truth is

We are not strong enough beings

To handle

Being told

That someone is gorgeous

Someone is handsome

Someone is someone that we MUST be with

And just--resist that

Some people can

But most?

No

Most people go with the flow

When it comes to--

And I hate using language like that

‘Go with the flow’

And I’m not trying to slut-shame

Warren Beatty for being with lots of women

Provided it was all on the, you know, up and up

But, let’s face it

Chances are

It was not all on the up and up

And I don’t think

That if, you know, any of us

Heard

That Warren Beatty

Back then

Acted like a real asshole

To any of those women

Or even one woman

That we’d be all that surprised

Sometimes it’s just a feeling

We’re thinking of how we--

How we start to rid the, uh,

The world, I guess,

Of men who are--

You know

And I think it’s not just about

Finding the monsters

And the people who are so, like,

Definitely bad

But also the ones

Who have been set up

To just--

Like pigs to the slaughter, you know?

The ones we were manipulated

Into--

Because that’s kind of--

That kind of can’t be consensual, can it?

Right?

Doesn’t that sound right?
