After reading through the horror of the first two girls' stories, my heart broke at the phrase "you know how that goes" that Katie uses when describing saying no and not being able to get away. That phrase conveys the helplessness, the world-weariness, and the sense that not only has she had to fight this before,…

I also feel really hopeful that one of Brian's "bros" recorded his confession and took it to one of the victims. That's excellent bystander intervention (after the fact) and it's one of the few bits of humanity that's letting me not just crumple in the face of this awfulness.

It's also really creepy that a video chat wasn't good enough for him. Like... is he really trying to roofie the Jezebel staff?

*hands you eyeballs before the cats get them*

AWWWWWWWWW YEAH

I know Lemon Zest is a shameless panderer whose craven lust for white, straight approval is simultaneously pathetic and rage-inducing, but after the "black holes" discussion about the missing Malaysia flight, the Talib Kweli embarrassment, getting schooled by Levar Burton about "driving while black" and the countless…

While an adult may have a number of options when confronted with abuse – to flee, to fight back, or to seek help from law enforcement – none of those options is realistically available to a four-year old child.

I get that their goals are "noble" but there was zero reason to appropriate lynching as a tool against the KKK. That shit is triggering as fuck and not a joke. Lynching was a real, horrible thing. It's not a rhetorical device to use when you swoop in with your white ally cape.

She's sucking dick for female heroes now?

I don't give a good god damn if he is Jesus hanging on the cross, when men in the public eye behave this way, ordinary women have to deal with the asstards who think it's ok to treat women like shit. A woman can't even walk down the street in peace any more, without some sophomoric dickweed pestering her.

Oh god, my grandfather's family not only love Miracle Whip, they call it mayonnaise. This lead to a horrifying moment as a child at a family potluck thinking I had bitten into a sandwich full of spoiled mayo. You do not spring that shit on people.

i will not argue that it's not sammich lube

People turn tricks in the bathrooms, shoot up in corners, leave dirty diapers hither and yon, masturbate onto various surfaces, try to make meth in soda bottles, and frequently do not lower their voices to my satisfaction.

It people who like Miracle Whip that you have to watch out for. They're not to be trusted.

Can we all agree that that "tangy zip of Miracle Whip" is not mayo, is vile and has actually caused me irreperable harm?

To be fair, a dating site from Steve Harvey (or any dating site) should be judged if/when it actually grows past infancy. Harvey's web site is most likely targeted towards his most ardent fans; late 30s, 40s or 50-somethings who might be re-entering the dating scene after a very long time — long-term marriages ending…

Because they started the whole mess of using it in the first place and each usage of it reminds them uncomfortably of their own past stupidity?

I'm so not feeling Steve Harvey's foray into Oprahdom. Quite frankly, I'm not interested in taking advice from either of them. If you were at a family gathering, Oprah would be that aunt that's ALWAYS on a new fad diet or self help phase. Her unsolicited advice would come in the form of daily affirmation emails…

I was once at Peter Luger's (very old-school NYC steakhouse staffed mostly by cranky old men) with a girl who ordered her steak "very well done". It was all I could do not to burst out laughing when the elderly, gruff waiter put her plate in front of her and said, "And this is what was once a very nice piece of meat".

When I was in Europe, selling monogrammed thermoses, THEY would cook my steaks for me until it was tender, no matter how long it took. Americans are so lazy sometimes.
