But... wealth in the U.S. is created and maintained by incredible institutional subsidization at all levels. *Inequality* is created, not miraculously born.

Why does it take richer people moving into an area before it gets the services that are... literally the City’s job to provide to all residents?

I mean, that’s about the level of analysis I’d expect, given your attitude towards the whole thing. Because obviously, bringing new businesses, residents, or attitudes into a predominantly poor neighborhood is just a giant middle finger to them.

Fine. The “gentrifying” upper-middle class white people (since that’s what you’re going for) residents of Park Slope who have moved there in the last 10-15 years are the strongest supporters of New York’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program in the entire city, on the basis of building economically integrated…

Now all that history is nearly gone, replaced by scrape-offs & shitty smug-ass coffee shops. Denver is an utterly soulless town due to gentrification.

Maybe, instead of replacing the neighborhoods with white businesses, we should do more to help minority communities thrive and try to eliminate the institutional racism that exists to hold them back.

Who says they are destroying that neighborhood? “Gentrification” doesn’t have to be a dirty word.

Well, to be fair, he was making consistently shitty movies long before JL, so whatever his mental state may have been, I doubt he could have made a better movie than that tire fire even on his best day

This is exaggeration. I didn’t say her will was unenforceable. I said it impacts decision making and acting like a naked woman isn’t more vulnerable than a man is ignoring the reality.

Actually she already said no. At the beginning when she said she wanted to use a condom, that was a no to unprotected sex. If you have to keep asking to get the answer you want, you’re not respecting consent at all.

Aren’t you guys always saying that all we have to do is say no? So why do we have to say it and then continue to defend it? Can’t you just take the no and then if you want to renegotiate wait until the next time, when we’re not naked?

Next, women are socialized to say yes to men. We just are. So a request between men and women isn’t one between status equals

bullshit. I am willing to admit that as a man, I have benefited from the patriarchy that runs the world. It’s literally impossible due to the accident of my birth, regardless of how I act or conduct myself. But in no sense will I take part in the so-called “collective guilt” of men or whatever ridiculous premise this…

Is the Mets/Jets guy kidding? Look, the Jets are a disgusting tire fire of a team who blew their main chance in this generation by being fooled into thinking Mark Sanchez was an actual QB, but the Mets are only 2 years out from being in the World Series, and if they get any kind of luck with injuries could easily get…

You legitimately don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word “forced”. Seeing as you are clearly not one of his sponsors, when you say that word, it means YOU are compelling him, not some nebulous cabal of wealthy Roy Moore sponsors.

I kind of agree. First off, the title of the piece is outrageous, as if it’s only female producers who get damaged by this sort of thing. This guy is out there assaulting women, and the first thought these women have is “don’t take it out on my completely untested and untried show”? I get that they likely sympathize,…

He IS entitled to his day in court, as are his (credible) victims, but that will never happen. Meanwhile, he should step aside.

Wrong. This is not a court of law. This is him not deserving the position in public office. Four different women, independent of each other, have provided enough evidence that he is not fit for office. The fucking end. There doesn’t need to be any further discussion, he SHOULD be fucking crucified for this bullshit…

Along with the fact that he’s a racist, xenophobic, homophobic piece of shit

But why do you think he’s guilty? Could it be that you find the witnesses/victims “credible”?
