Yup, they didn’t slow down at ALL — they do this alllll the time here. Williams entered the intersection when it was green, then someone made an illegal turn in front of her and she braked, then continued forward. At this point, the light turned green and the driver blew through it without slowing down or checking the…

Good, because legally and morally it wasn’t her fault — it was 100% the driver of the car the man was a passenger in.

Don’t act like you don’t know what is going on. Coates has always taken criticism. Is this your first time reading about him? He didn’t leave because of just plain ol’ criticism. He left because this nonsense led to Richard Spencer co-signing some shit against him.

This. I am a low-level faculty member at a cut-rate state school and academics can be the biggest abusers of gate-keeping and rent-seeking behavior. Some will do whatever they can to usurp someone else’s shine for their own purposes without offering nothing of substance in return.

Take that BS flaccid toxic masculinity somewhere else. Preferably to go watch some horrible 80s Stallone movie.

I got a chance to listen to listen to West’s interview with The Root that will come out and a few days. I think it is within bounds for West to challenge Coates’ writings and philosophy in the name of intellectual discussion. I don’t have a problem with that’s. While I like Coates, I don’t think his writings are…

If I tweeted “Sky is blue today!” and Dickie Spencer agreed with me, I’d go outside and check, then delete it anyway.

Please, provide some of those reasons. Right now, low-rise and low-density mandates are proving extremely destructive to cities by causing large-scale housing shortages and pushing sprawl further out (with its according social and environmental negatives).

I completely agree. McGowan went overboard in criticizing Milano, who was merely pointing out that Chapman shouldn’t be blamed for Weinstein’s behavior (unless/until we learn that she was complicit in some meaningful way).

Women aren’t even allowed to create openly fictional narratives without people coming in and saying “I really think you were unfair to this imaginary dude you made up.”

Deer has a history of comments that are the equivalent of “Actually, let me tell you what it’s really like for people who are not me”. Seriously, not worth your time or anyone else’s.

Yes. Women and men are perfectly equal, racism is solved, cats and dogs live together, and inexperienced 20-year-olds are on a perfectly level playing field with mid-30s individuals.

As has been said above, he was under immense pressure. The K-pop industry tends to chew people up and spit them out. He’s been open about having depression and some of his lyrics are pretty dark. In South Korea there’s a huge stigma surrounding mental illness, and not a lot of resources for those in need of help. So…

A good example of this is men and women who work with Woody Allen. Men never receive the same level of scrutiny (or any scrutiny) for working with him. I’m not saying women shouldn’t be scrutinized for working with Woody Allen, I’m saying men should be scrutinized just as much as women for working with him. But…

I don’t understand why she is berated for her compassion. Why do we assume the wives always know what their husbands are up to? Or that they aren’t suffering the same abuse at home? Are we all so heroic that we can’t imagine people who weren’t brave enough to speak up? Are we all so aware that we have never been…

Rose McGowan was in the wrong there.

She has a point. There is a tendency to go after the wife or partner of an abusive man as if she failed in her duty of policing his behaviour. She didn’t abuse anyone. She almost definitely went into marriage pragmatically instead of because she fell in love, but that was her choice. For all we know she was one of his…

Oh thank god, are we allowed to just openly hate on Tucker Max now?

It drives me NUTS to see people who’ve never had a financial or other catastrophic setback in their lives (looking at you, libertarians) and just assuming their luck was because they’re so awesome and Ubermensch-y and shit. Not because of hundreds of disasters, and thousands of unsung heroes who insisted those…
