My analysis is that there are lots of different personalities in the world, and sometimes people with different personality types just don't get each other.

She might've been cranky—or he might've just not understood her interview style. I've seen junket interviews with her before (before she was pregnant), and she does do this kind of thing where she tells the reporter that she's been asked that question a million times or she changes the subject in this sort of…

Preach. This applies at lower class stratums as well—with lower classes identifying themselves as middle class. It's the whole "America is a country of temporarily embarrassed millionaires" thing. The more people internalize the idea that it's shameful to be poor—or just not rich—the more likely they are to vote in…

That's how I feel, too. I think FAFSA was actually trying to destigmatize the idea of being poor by making a joke.

I totally used to do the same thing. But I eventually just sprang for prescription sunglasses, and I have no regrets (you can get Rx sunglasses online for, like, $30—so worth it).

Crayola box! Everyone knows you use the peach crayon to color white-people skin!

The fact—that I think we both concede, if I understand correctly—is that she and a married man made out. Regardless of whether it was the only time or not—they had some sort of physical/romantic indiscretion. She wasn't married (though, she was with Pattinson at the time, I think), but he was. So neither of them…

I just feel bad because, like, 70% of my wardrobe is from Old Navy. I'm like a walking ad for them. For whatever reason, their clothes just work for my body shape better than most plus size clothes (I have a really large bust, but narrow shoulders and arms, so most clothes end up looking ridiculous on my shoulders),…

eSHAKTI! Oh my stars. So wonderful. I bought two dresses from them a while back, and they are so well made, and they even rush-shipped them for me for no extra cost. They are seriously the best kept secret in clothes buying. Especially for people who have a hard time finding off-the-rack clothes that fit well.

That's not the point, though. The point is that you were attacking someone and blaming her because she didn't do enough to prevent becoming a victim. That is victim blaming.

Actually, not according to you there isn't. It used to be common fucking sense that women shouldn't be alone in a room with a man. It was common fucking sense that women couldn't go out at night. It was common fucking sense that a woman couldn't get drunk. All of those were considered reasons—legit reasons—to…

Right. It's her fault that she was harassed and threatened with rape. Just like all those hussies who show their ankles—they're all asking for it, right? They should stay at home, wearing their chastity belts and knitting socks.

Preach. They should've just put a picture of Chris Hemsworth up and called it a day.

Oookay. I sort of think kissing falls under the general category of romantic entanglement, or affair. But whatever. She admitted to some sort of romantic attachment that became physical to some degree. My point stands.

I'm not saying that Stewart is without some culpability (it's not a good idea to get involved with someone who's married)—but HE was the one who was married. And HE was her supposed boss (though I don't know if actor/director relationships are of the standard boss/employee variety). I don't even know the dude's…

Exactly. These harassment charges have come in nonstop for over a decade—it's not until the profit margins decline that he's let go. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking the harassment was the cause of his dismissal.

When Texas passed its law, Planned Parenthood did sue, and the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. My guess is that they didn't want to deal with the political fallout of that sort of decision (because you know there would be some serious shit going down if they overturned Roe).

Absolutely it's possible! I posted in a different thread that my two favorite fictional characters are probably Buffy Summers and Dana Scully—both ass-kicking ladies. And there's this temptation to also paint all Strong Female Characters as if they were just some girl power rah-rah fluff to appease the masses—and…

That character lost her business, her boyfriend, her shitty job, her home, and she thought she was losing her best friend. Not everyone can handle that much loss with grace. Some people can—and that's genuinely amazing. But most people are going to feel like shit, hate themselves, and lash out at the people around…

I think this might be it. It looks right.
