margaret atwood wrote "handmaid's tale," feminist dystopian classic idolized by the hollywood left, won awards of the golden globe. the "me too" movement loves this book but the author of this book, embraced by the "me too" movement, is saying accusations without due process leads to extremism. she is getting blowback. the person who wrote "the handmaid's tale" is getting blowback for saying watch it. then you have catherine deneuve. she is saying we've got to pull back on this. she had to apologize for saying maybe let's slow down. let's take a look at this. shows you how dangerous it is even for women to step out of line. that's a dangerous sign because if you are telling people to be quiet over a cause, that's going to lead to what margaret atwood said which is pure, unadulterated extremism, a massive panic. it looks like it's not stopping. aziz ansari was of noxious and that date but he never stopped her from leaving. she stayed the entire time. you've got to wonder. is it as an obnoxious date, is it the same as harvey weinstein? no. >> juan: i think we are conflating a bunch of thi

how many of your favorite jokes start. [ laughter ] margaret atwood once wrote, "men are afraid women will laugh at them. women are afraid men will kill them." [ laughter ] yeah, that's heavy, and i don't know how to feel about that as a man who is also afraid that men will kill him. [ laughter ] worse case scenario, while the woman laughs, if i'm being totally honest. [ laughter ] when i get up in the middle of the night for a glass of water, i get fully clothed. [ light laughter ] and i don't just mean t-shirt, boxers. i'm talking blazer, high tops. [ light laughter ] and that's not because i'm modest in front of my wife, or nervous the neighbors will see me nude through the window. it's because my greatest fear is the world is that there's a burglar in our apartment ready to take all our stuff, but before he does he sees my naked body, and just goes, weird dick, loser. bang, and that's it for me, i'm done. [ laughter ] then my wife wakes up giggling, like "you did have kind of a weird one." [ light laughter ] and then they get married to each other, and i'm just stuck in the apartm

look what happened to margaret atwood. i mean she wrote the feminist treaty, what's it called, the dystopian thing that won all the words. "handmaid's tale." she said without due process you're going to have an extremist movement that's going to hurt a lot of people. you see people like bari weiss, caitlin flanagan. a lot of people coming out and they are helping correct this. what they are basically saying is this movement is in danger of relegating females to a helpless stereotype, one that can't call a cab, one that can't get up and leave. when the claims to be captive when i believe she was captivated by his celebrity. she hung around there. the anonymously sourced story legitimized revenge. the story of the "me too" movement was about power. the woman is assaulted by a man in a power relationship. and that women are too scared to come out. she dated anonymously. she didn't have any blowback on her. she wasn't as brave as these other women who came out against weinstein. it wasn't a power structure relationship. it was
