An open letter to #ScottBaio
Since you so kindly shared your views on all of the heathens that aren't like you, I thought I would share some of mine.
I've always wondered about small minds like yours. Minds that are aggressively determined to be below average. Minds that refuse to grasp that the world is wildly varied and that women are as good as you. What on earth would make you think you are superior to so many? Maybe you have to keep deluding yourselves because the long reign of misogyny has a serious tick-tock target on its back and it's freaking you the fuck out.
Does it make you as a man feel bigger when you tear down a woman of substance? Admit it, right, you get a little thrill. You seem to. You feel so clever. A regular Oscar Wilde, in fact. Or is it merely that women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton have an intellect so gargantuan that you are way beyond your depth? My instincts tell me that you are just smart enough to know that you're not smart at all. And it burns you up, doesn't it Scott?
Your Type™, and let's be real, you are a Type™, are always filled with the most fear. Funny how that works. The ones always yelling about their strength are the most scared. All it takes is a woman who is superior to you (your suspicions are correct) and you go wild with the rage of a spoiled bratty toddler in full meltdown mode.
As a non-male Type™ I've spent a lot of time thinking about male terror. This should not be a verboten subject. Women are dissected ten ways from Sunday for the smallest intransigence. Male terror and this subject is a big one, Scott, is killing us. You need to know that If a woman gains traction, it won't make you fall back, you're just not used to competition. Those places where you hide in your fearful mind aren't real, they are just old stories of a pretend world that never was, your Type™ just wants it to be so.
My boyfriend is Puerto Rican. He had a very astute observation the other night when a guy we were with said he 'wished it were the 1950s again.' My boyfriend told him he'd only ever heard white men say that. It was as if a collective light bulb went off at our table.
I know Scott that you and your Type™ long for the 1950s when white men were assured of their place in the world. It looks different now to what your narrow view is. It's bigger than you could conceive and that just makes you hold on tighter, and kick out at women harder. But it's ugly, Scott. It's really ugly. Trying to make the world look like your ignorant idea of what it is won't work. You must adjust to the fact that your dominance was always an illusion peddled by your Type™ to benefit your Type™.
Are you really that scared of us, Scott? Maybe you should be. There are more of us, after all.
It's almost like you can feel us kicking the La-Z-Boy recliner out from under your ass.
Do you feel it, Scott? There's an army of thought coming for you.
I and many like me are aiming to change your way of life but not because we give two fucks about your life but because we care about ours. We have s*** to do and ground to gain.
I'm sorry your way of life is tick-tocking, Scott. Can you hear it? So many of us know what you are determined to ignore... it's going to go boom.
Which is awesome.
An explosion of the mind is EXACTLY what's called for! Let thought in. If you could only see what is on the other side of an open mind, Scott and co, I think you'd join us. It's beautiful here, it's free and the views are incredible.
All you have to do is leave women alone, starting with our bodies. Stop hating us. Stop harassing us, stop belittling us, stop stonewalling us, stop subscribing to the notion that you are superior, because you aren't. It's hard to wake up from a nice dream, but you have to. It is not a choice that's up to you.
The 52% are rising.
So get out of our way. Stop your cruelty. Have some class. Have some heart. I know you won't. I know you can't. But, oh, I wish you could see what we the free can see because damned if it isn't beautiful.
If can't open your mind, at least stop hurting us because If you slander one woman, you slander all.
PS
Much respect for #TamronHall for pushing back at hate.
The video says it all.
Does joking about a woman that way make America great again?
In case you missed it, actor Scott Baio defends his controversial tweets about Hillary Clinton & Michelle Obama.

Lying about rape when you have not been raped damages all victims credibility, alleging low-key racism does the same. Not cool at all. Tbh, since I’ve never watched, read about it been interested the Charmed reboot, I had no idea what any of you look like, identify as or what your names are. I literally do not care about the new Charmed reboot. You and I occupy a very different universe, Sarah. Consider that your goals are not mine. I could give zero Fs or none about the Charmed reboot. I cannot make that more clear.
I’m sorry if I’ve hurt your feelings by being a bit snarky with my co/star and friend on a live stream. I bet you’ve said some things without too much thought with your oldest friends and tequila.
But that you, a young actress in Hollywood, can’t see/feel/identify what I’ve done (for zero pay) to change things for you, everyone in Hollywood and the world at large is a grave insult. I am no longer in the Hollywood cult, the System’s cult. I do apologize for being glib and not expressing myself better, but like I said, I haven’t had to time to give it more than a instinctive thought or reaction. For not fully thinking of how it would feel for the actresses on the Charmed reboot, I am sorry, I apologize, but saying I do not support women of color is a slap in the face to my work as a humanist.
Sarah, after your false claim your profile will be raised. Be warned, Fame is like quarantine but with a different kind of death outside.
Oh, and you are welcome. I think that’s what you young actresses mean to say to me, I think that’s what everyone needs to say. I know what I did, I laid on barb wire so others could walk on my back.
Including you and your co-stars. Enjoy a safer life and a safer Hollywood experience than I and most have ever had. It has been my honor to serve humankind. Not perfectly, but I believe everyone should volunteer to their highest skill level and I have high skills, so I set the bar very high for myself and others. It’s okay to be extraordinarily brave.
If you’d like to know more about me and see beyond the spin and headlines listen to this and then come back to me.
Go deeper.

I want to thank all of you that have supported me through the most brutal & intense time of my life. All of you who’ve taken the time out of your life to cheer me on with my goal of staying alive and getting to live a life free of Harvey Weinstein & his terror machine. It is because of you all that I have refused to die, to give up, lose my mind, or lose my life. I realized I cannot abandon you or disappoint, because we have all been those of us who work for no pay to change the world. To make it healthier. To make it smarter. A Cultural Reset. But those of us who challenge history & fight power get killed. I’m now suing David Boies, Lisa Bloom, HW & a spy group Black Cube (google their names + mine and you’ll see what they did to me. Terrorizing me relentlessly, trying to drive me to suicide. Convicted Serial Rapist Weinstein hired Black Cube to GET HER BOOK BRAVE BEFORE IT IS PUBLISHED. I WILL PAY ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO ANYOME WHO STEALS HER MANUSCRIPT SO WE CAN STOP BRAVE’S PUBLICATION. And they did. My rapist read my description of his assault on me. All of these bad people I’m naming stole 125 pages of my autobiography, planting bad things on me, relentlessly stalking me. The most evil was Stella Pechanek who was introduced to me by my then literary agent, Lacy Lynch. Lacy and her scum boss Jan Miller of Dupree/Miller literary agency were secretly working with Weinstein. I found this out by reading the NY Times. Jan Miller, dragon lady, is super close with Hillary & Bill Clinton, David Boies who I’m suing for criminal conspiracy- he was Bill Clinton’s lawyer & Al Gore’s lawyer. One the most powerful lawyers on the side of evil. What these monsters did to me before the articles came out exposing Weinstein, during and after would have killed most people, but I’m still here. Because of you. Because I know we can bend but not break. Because you all kept me going, along with me being strategic & stubborn. Today I have real love, peace & beauty & wonderfully honest people in my life. No more Hollywood. No more frauds. No more cults. I just needed to say I see you and that I made it. I lived. Because you saved my life. X Rósa
