This is another good argument in favor of a deal. Don't we, the public, deserve to never have to hear anything else about anything related to this ever again?

My mistake. You were just SO emphatic about the CONCEPT of PRIVACY, I imagined quotation marks where there were none.

LMAO at the fact that you put private in quotations, as if I ever used the word.

Well, I can see that you're a very patient and reasonable person, so I'm going to take this opportunity to express my hope that lazy judgmental jerks like you are as rare as they are vocal.

And yet your accusation of irresponsibility was about being a parent in an open relationship. That's baseless. Weiner is obviously irresponsible and extremely dense. But that's about him, not about his relationship, and certainly not about all relationships like his (whatever that may be).

It looks like no one has pointed it out to you, but I will: You are an asshole. Your second paragraph is a bunch of innocent till proven guilty boilerplate, but you open with an unprovable assertion that a dead boy caused his own death. Congrats on rejecting the media's unfair pro-dead kid bias, asshole!

You're taking a pretty stupid line on this. As Erin pointed out in the article, this kid is already going to suffer from the embarrassment/lack of trust that will come from their knowledge about this dic pic nonsense. If they even are in a sexually open relationship, there's no intrinsic reason for that arrangement to…

I just want to back up this great post. Inperspective seems to have some intellectual humility and honesty, so there's a chance that your advice will be taken. And I hope it will. Homeboy is working under a lot of assumptions and false equivalencies.

Oh please. Creepshaming is the single worst and dumbest complaint on a long list of those that come from dudes who haven't really thought a whole lot about how the world works for nondudes. Like the threat of being called a creep just for looking at someone is a problem on par with you know, not feeling safe in public…

Sure, I hear you on all that. But if we are talking about the lyrics alone, it doesn't matter who is saying them to whom—they're terrible.

Irrelevant. The power dynamic of these two videos is different, yes. But consent is consent is consent. If it seems more comfortable when the roles are reversed, that's due to thy myth that men always want it/can't be raped. It's fucked either way.

Fair enough. I was talking about my opinion about Munn, which mostly formed when she was on the show, so that was my frame of reference.
To be honest, I was really upset when the show did not touch the Trayvon Martin shooting until Jon Stewart decided to make fun of anchors who wore hoodies. I'm not boycotting the show…

And I feel like she's aggressively trying to be cool with the (worst kind of) boys, in a way that AP seems to just be her weird, rude self.

I see what you're saying but I don't think they're equals in terms of execution. Maybe AP comes off better because she's on taped show where she gets do overs if her delivery is off the mark, and OM doesn't get that on the Daily Show at least. But it seems to me that OM is literally always off the mark, like she…

He looks like a guy who surfed a lot until he actually bought a house by the beach, and now he's half out of shape but just wears douchy Hawaiian kitsch accessories. Like, even if you disregard the failure to get the hair/eyes/skin/ sex appeal* right, this dude does not look like someone who can kill you with a…

So the same rain that theoretically cleansed zimmerman's gun and clothes of any evidence of Trayvon's DNA, and Trayvon's hands of zimmerman's DNA, could not possibly have washed the initial blood away from any injuries he sustained from the fight at any point in the two hours it took for his body to be collected? The…

The reason there's no contradictory story is that zimmerman shot the only person who could give it dead. This is not an emotional appeal. This is an ethical one. Without refining our legal definitions, this sets an incredibly dangerous precedent.

If white people took the energy they put into finding inocuous explanations for racist behavior and arguing with people's stories of experienced racism , and put it into challenging racist media narratives and comments made by loved ones and colleagues, we would have this problem solved in a week. It's so…

OY the cluelessness this comment is being met with. "Gee that happens to me and I never even think about it! That means that the people in the store are just doing their job!" Not even able to realize that as a white shopper, you're surprised when this happens because it's rare. And because it's rare, and occurs…

There are critics who will say that yes, but the nature of the criticism is different in a way that's important to point out. In any case, the same behavior is tied to violence when it's carried out by a black person.
