NOT HELPING, dude. Oh, and also, go fuck yourself.

Oh, Stephen your fame is going to your head. I was afraid that would happen.

I don't suppose his opinions were done tongue-in-cheek for Attitude Magazine? Otherwise I'm disappointed with his "attitude."

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Good lord, he needs to meet some of the young women I used to work with.

[bitsofchat.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say, he should meet some people including myself who may beg to differ. Just sayin'

[roga.livejournal.com]

Oh, dude, what the fuck :(

.................... wtf

What a mysogynistic, asshole interview. Gee,you mean all of those years when I was fucking around and not wanting a commitment, I was completely deluded? Thanks, Stephen, for setting me, er, straight!

Has he never been to a bar? Maybe he should watch an episode of Jersey Shore.

Oh, I don't want to know. I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't ...

*sigh*

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Oh, Stephen. That's really very disappointing.

:-(

[spicyride.livejournal.com]

WOW, how very disappointing.

My favorite commenter: the one who said she liked chocolate cake, but she wouldn't eat a piece she found on the floor of a public lavatory.

Yesterday Bironic mentioned "bemused" and I think that is the perfect word for how I feel (in addition to "angry").

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I kept expecting it to be tongue-in-cheek and then it went on and on... A bit of a laugh is one thing; perpetuating a harmful stereotype about half the people on the planet -- and completing erasing lesbians -- is another.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Yes, this. There are some real leaps of Crazy Logic in that interview, and it comes across as just ... well, very foolish. I'm going to choose to think that he wasn't completely mentally engaged here, because if he really believes everything he said, then that's just sad.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

This isn't the first time I've heard noises about him saying some bogglingly misogynist things, though. I'm ... I don't know what to think. Or rather, I know what I would think if this weren't someone I'd always really liked and wanted to believe the best of.

Tend to stay out of the discussions, though, because I can't bring self to go read whatever it is he actually said.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

*g*

Yeah, I was just about to edit my reply to say that I don't mean he should get a free pass on this -- it would be nice if one of his friends pointed out to him that he's being a pillock.

I mean, it's what I'd want my friends to do if I ever said things this monumentally stupid.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

Um.

... I ... I'm sorry ... having technibrain diffifail-- uh ...

GOOD HEAVENS WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ICON.

[spicyride.livejournal.com]

jlk_lumberjack here (http://jlk-lumberjack.livejournal.com/18487.html).
And yes, um, the way he's sitting- GUH!

[rustler.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's pretty massively offensive. Huh.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

Stephen, please tell me you were drunk or joking or something.
(or maybe he's being pissy because there are more women who want to fuck Hugh than there are gay guys who want to fuck him?)

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHA!

Stephen's probably envious because he's not being called "one of the sexiest men in the world." Maybe he'd shut up if someone started a community called stephenbunnies.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm getting enough of the gist from others' comments, I think. It didn't occur to me until later that my response might be relevant in some way to the conversation at hand. We women just aren't all that sexual, apparently?

Dude ought to come into fandom and LURK MOAR.

I don't want to read what he said because I don't want the words jangling uncomfortably in my head the next time I watch Jeeves and Wooster.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

It occurs to me to think of Stephen Fry's history of (untreated, if I understand correctly?) manic depression, and to wonder if some of the things he says may be a direct result thereof.

Could a manic swing cause him to think he's being LOLARIOUS when in fact he's making an ass of himself?

"‘Oh, no, but I love sex, I love it!’ But do they go around having it the way that gay men do?"

...Tons of women pick up men for sex. WTF dude
