George and Amal Clooney comparison after the Golden Globe joke

Rant/Venting

I won't spend much time on this as it's petty and the joke itself was pretty funny but for what it's worth...

The joke:

During their Golden Globes opening monologue, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler said what most of us were thinking when they introduced George Clooney and his wife, Amal Alamuddin. The hilarious hosts took a feminist slant with their joke:

"George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an advisor to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected for a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight . . . her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award."

The facts (according to their respective Wikipedia pages):

George’s AchievementsAmal’s Achievements
Supporter of gay rightsHuman rights lawyer
Involved with Not On Our Watch ProjectWorked on Enron case
Organised Hope For Haiti TelethonAdvisor to Kofi Annan on Syria
Helped in Dafur, Sudan with the UNInvolved in many high profile international cases

Received a Summit Peace Award

Note: Amal’s Gaza Strip investigation role they used in the joke appears to have been a rumour; regardless she did not take the role.

George also has 2 Academy Awards, 1 BAFTA, 5 Golden Globes and about 60 other miscellaneous awards. He's been named the "sexiest man alive", twice. Oh and he's got a few notches on his bed frame too.

When ever I get a feminist bring me something like this I will immediately posit the question with how they would feel if this occurred with the genders reversed. I will then go away and fact check like I have done here to make sure my eye rolling at the time was warranted.

Like I said at the beginning, this is a trivial event but amusing to see how women have no issue cherry picking facts in order to feed their tall poppy syndrome and cut down a successful man.

It was a joke, it was not in bad taste, it got a laugh. Big whoop.

Like I've said in other threads, George married her for her social ability and capacity to handle the wives of other high status men. He knows he can get mega hot pussy at the drop of a dime, just pick up the phone and hundreds of hot girls would be jumping to get on his cock. If he wanted he could do a massive week long orgy where he was the only guy with dozens of girls, and they would all happily participate. So he wasn't looking for a "pussy for life" agreement but a business partnership that's very common in the high status non-Hollywood world. Wealthy men (not rich, learn the difference) are practically required to be properly married before they are taken seriously by other wealthy men. He will be judged by the quality of his wife, her social and feminine qualities will reflect on him. It's kind of a "welcome to the club, your one of us now" type of thing.

Pretty much a one-to-one inversion of how things used to be, no?

The wealthy have always done this, it's how they protect their wealth for future generations. It's why they place so much emphasis on proper upbringing and insulating their children from "common" children. Real wealth is accumulated over generations, its protected and becomes a legacy of it's own. The progressives in western politics wants to steal this wealth as they don't want any non-government entity to have so much of it.

I guess after his probably glorius sex crusade of his youth, he wanted a woman who was smarter than a door knob and woudn't get 10mil in child support after 5 months of being married.

A mental illness that is destroying society is not normal.

Well, that escalated quickly. I think 99% of TRP would agree that two plates going for some girl on girl action is awesome.

GTFO.

We're trying to make the best of bad situations not encourage them. If anything needs to GTFO it is your lack of understanding/awareness.

Well, you cant just analyze things through only one lense.

Humor works best if it is directed at your social superiors, and George Clooney is more or less, well, he is supposed to be able to take it.

You're setting yourself up for ol' feelz Vs. reelz bit, and you're just not equipped for that fight, bro.

"Reversing the genders" would mean legitimizing a feminist argument by applying reason to it, at which point you've lost already. Just ignore the squeaking of the hamster wheel.

Amal, that strong woman, so self-sufficient and man-independent that she doesn't even need to include the strategy of marrying an alpha in her life in order to achieve her own prosperity.

wait...

This just shows that feminist can't stand that he's the one with the higher SMV. George laughed at that joke because he knows it too.
