Really? My perception is quite the opposite. If Avery had “only” raped Halbach, Jezebel would be giving him the Cosby extralegal treatment. Because Avery actually also killed Haibach, and also is too much of a coward to confess to the crime and exonerate his nephew, instead we must worship him and the filmmakers. It’s…

“...the opportunities she’s created for herself through sheer ability and willpower....”

Right? If she’d taken a million dollars to perform a private concert for an abominable dictatorship, told a few racist jokes about Latinos, and had a few “accidental” falls in highly monitored public situations, she’d be the new queen of Jezebel for who knows how long.

I think you’re right...what was the name of that totally, I mean extremely, dumb girl on that season? There was something about hot tub threesome...I never watched again after that, I was so embarrassed for all involved.

San Francisco.

Thinking back to the famous contempt you showed for SOA fans from last year :http://jezebel.com/gemma-sons-of-…

You realize that you are responding to a comment that was made five days ago, before anything concrete was known about the attackers, right? I certainly hope you’re not an American – who has a serious contender for a major public office basically running a platform of xenophobia – lecturing me about how that is not a…

Well, again, another historical figure and people for you to go tell it to: the then-royalty and people of Denmark, who told the Nazis to get stuffed, they weren’t turning over their Jews, bomb away.

Well, first of all, if you’re using “second world” in the correct sense, we already have had about 10 million people from a second world country – the other half of our own – filter across and around since the Mauerfall. With the sort of demi-Schengen status of provisional members from the former Soviet bloc, and also…

Yes, but you were traveling as a tourist, and probably presented yourself as a tourist, even if one who was willing to make the attempt to converse, which particularly in Frankfurt is appreciated. (München maybe not so much, we speak a dialect.) I’m not really talking about being able to get a Käsebreze at the…

I must say it says a lot you are dual citizen who proudly has not learned to, if you are using the Anglo-Saxon keyboard, take the tenth of one second it would take to hit “Option u” to make an umlaut. It also seems to have escaped your attention that we indeed are talking about Deutschland, from which the language…

Recht herzlichen Dank!

You are deliberately misinterpreting what I said, which I suspect is the case since you did not quote my entire paragraph, or you are unaware of the background of both this blogger and other writers at Jezebel posting inflated and incorrect facts about violent or fraught incidents and refusing to correct them. Anna…

I actually meant that third-waver “choice feminism,” and the things that have come with it – the capitalist normalization of the term “sex worker,” for example – “leaning in,” “you do you,” etc. is not typical of European feminism. Certainly there are latitudes in interpretation, but there is also more of a consensus…

That the people who sold out their Jewish population so we wouldn’t bomb the Rijksmuseum that was more precious than their population is wholly welcome to STFU about lecturing us about modern-day policy. Also how can you not know who Theo van Gogh is? : http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov…

Yes, thank you, that is a lot of additional and useful information.

No, they are not, not in terms of a newspaper venture functioning in the capacity of a traditional daily. The Wall Street Journal has an abominable right-wing editorial policy, but its reporters and the quality of its reportage is still good. Editorial page policy and news coverage are two different things.

Tell that to Theo van Gogh.

I don’t have to “support” it, it’s required to maintain a residency-type, workers’, or asylum-seeking visa, but, philosophically, yes, I do. By way of life commitment evidence I am writing to you in English, which is not my native language, but which I learned to obtain a student visa (and beyond) in an Anglophone…

Thank you. I really am trying to participate in a civil manner...
