Leslie Mann’s Gimp Sticks Up for Ghostbusters

There’s a fine line between stalwart supporter of women’s rights and a male submissive whose wife makes him wear an Invisible Fence collar so he can’t snack after meal time. There’s not a single cause de female celebre that Judd Apatow can’t get behind with a shrill rant. His level of argumentation akin to a middle school girl who prays for Taylor Swift to photobomb her Bat Mitzah.

Apatow’s latest venture to be the non-muscular Terry Crews male apologist is labeling everybody who’s trashed the yet to be released chick Ghostbusters reboot as trolls who likely support the Republican candidate for President:

I would assume there’s a very large crossover of people who are doubtful Ghostbusters will be great and people excited about the Donald Trump candidacy.

You would assume based on what? The fact that your wife marked you with an “I’m With Her” slogan above your padlocked panties line? Are you certain it’s not a cross-section of the population who hates reboots for the sole purpose of social engineering and people who’ve seen the super shitty looking trailer? Apatow takes what might be a semi-valid point, that dudes are reflexively unenthusiastic regarding female cast comedies, and blows it out like a tirade about socks on the floor while on the rag. 

Apatow should offer to let movie goers punch him if the movie turns out to be as shitty as expected. It’s a sucker move to aim for his chin.
