Too late, some asshole upthread already called the establishments “rub and tugs” and diminished the crime as “garden variety violence against women” as though gender isn’t also a protected class, and as though he didn’t specifically drive around to target establishments populated by Asian women rather than shooting…

So “garden variety violence against women” doesn’t count as a hate crime, because...? Last I checked gender was listed right up there with race under the FBI’s definition of hate crimes. Also, again, WHY are we taking this deranged terrorist’s confessions at face value?

God that’s sad. I can feel the pain, hurt and betrayal in her voice. And the clout chasing thing has been an issue for awhile with BLM. I remember back during the Ferguson protests, professional trauma grifters like DeRay McKesson and others descended on the town and took up a HUGE amount of space, oxygen and media…

Yeah sorry, but this show is dead to me now. Reality TV is supposed to be fun escapism, and there’s nothing fun or escapist about watching people sitting around having extremely awkward “Race 101" conversations. Also it could’ve been mildly interesting if they picked an actual proud, confident Black man as the “first…

Thank you. He’s always been a huge self-serving asshole with no political or moral compass. His record alone should have given everyone pause. But centrist liberals fawned over him (and forced that embarrassing “Cuomosexual” meme) because he came out with a few snappy anti-Trump quips that they could giggle over…

It’s not the “right smear machine” coming out with these allegations; it’s women who worked for him. And while I’m sure the right smear machine will jump on this and exploit it for all its worth, the women still have a right to tell their stories, especially if he’s being considered for a position of federal power…

By “anonymous Black female attorney” they mean “Andrew Cuomo or his PR rep in blackface and a wig”, right? Because I know a real, live, legitimate Black woman did not just invoke Emmitt Till in defense of this fucking clown, nor did she just imply Black women are ok with sexual harassment. Ugh. UGH.

I’m trying to understand whether I’m misreading this comment or whether it’s victim-blaming with a side of classism. Are you saying self-help coaches abuse fast food workers because they are...in your words, “broken” by the indignity of having to coach fast food workers?

No problem! The phrase is so widespread I don’t think people even notice when they use it, but it’s always good to specifically point out these men are preying on children.

“underage women”? Can we just say “teenage girls” since they are not “women” at all?

This book made a huge impression on me as a teenager. I read it cover to cover several times, and it made me feel less alone (by highlighting the fact that many other teenage girls struggled with the same issues I did) and helped me learn some new coping strategies. I found the author much more sympathetic to teenage…

It’s a legit disturbing/violent image to get hit with when you’re just looking for celebrity gossip.

Right? Why do articles on topics like this attract such obnoxious male commenters? Wait, I know...

Yeah, this is not the first time this site has published a long meandering essay arguing gross misogynistic porn tropes are actually LiBeRaTiNg for women. Yawn. Paging Hugo Schwyzer.

Yeahhh...I know she’s a public figure and all, but she’s a kid. Adults obsessing/gossiping over kids’ love lives instinctively skeeves me out. There’s a whole thread here with people speculating over when these girls will break up, and they just got together. That’s not cool to me.

Why does it matter? The point is no matter what career path someone chooses, they deserve a safe and healthy work environment.

P.S. And nobody be surprised if Henry Cavill ends up in the Daily Mail soon too, he’s another one I’ve seen a bunch of horrendous stories about in random places. Hollywood is a bad place with some really bad people.

Seriously! I even saw some of them threatening suicide now that they’re realizing they threw their families, friends and jobs away over a silly internet hoax. Someone get these people a cult deprogrammer - or an exorcist!

How does she manage to be cooler than anyone else on the planet while taking out the TRASH? 

I think it says a lot about our current times that the “fun” celebrity gossip story everyone is making memes about is a cannibal who beats women.
