So you couldn’t get exactly what you wanted exactly when you wanted it, but were able to get it somewhere else nearby the same day, and this merited a blog post?

You must not live in New York. If you have a dishwasher in the city you're basically rich. Very few kitchens have the space for them, and those that do usually don't have them unless they're in fancy buildings or you own and can install your own. Either way - rich.

Not that I'm defending uber - who I will never use because of the abundance of horror stories - but this kind of shit happens ALL THE TIME from totally random places. I was charged $1500 by a deli once for what was supposed to be $15. Emailing a million times in the span of a minute and taking your case to the media…

I was feeling all self righteous and wanting to hate on her but then I remembered that whenever I'm in Ohio I get chick fil a. (We don't have any in NY) so I'm a total hypocrite. If I liked/could afford D&G I'd probably wear that too. I kind of don't care what they think because at the end of the day they don't…

Some MEN are misogynists. It's not a gay or straight thing, so to single out gay men is unnecessary and is just beating up on an already oppressed minority. More often than not gay men worship women and the closest relationships in their lives are with women. I don't deny that gay misogynists exist, but it's not in…

I'm heartened to see so many people on here disagreeing with Banks and calling her out, because for awhile it's seemed like the new feminist thing was to hate gay men, esp white gay men, because apparently we're no longer oppressed or something? I didn't get the memo.

i was just saying this to someone the other day - they're all about being organic and natural, but people used to be totally organic and natural hundreds of years ago and MOST OF THEIR CHILDREN DIED and life expectancy was like 40. It wasn't until the advent of EVIL modern medicine and *gasp* BIG PHARMA that our life…

This is the best comment I've read on this topic and I want to post it everywhere.

As someone who dates/has dated every race and many ethnicities I will say that she is full of shit. if anything it's the reverse.

Who is the woman in the cave, and what's with the surgery stuff? Was that black widow or somebody else?

Any use of "impact" as anything but a noun, unless as in "an impacted tooth." Whenever I hear something "impacted" something else (meaning affected) or even worse, the invented word "impactful" which I hear everywhere now, I grind my teeth. These uses were incorrect until just a few years ago when the dictionary…

It's really not that great a butt, sorry.

But isn't it useful for those people to have those first ah ha moments, even if they are awkward and tone deaf? Isn't that a step in the right direction and part of a necessary dialogue? I just feel like you can't encourage people to open up and honestly examine their privilege etc and then criticize them for doing…

I thought it was good for us to acknowledge our privilege, and I thought our silence in the face of this injustice equaled consent. Here you have white people saying "I am admitting to my privilege and am adding my voice to expose this injustice," but they're not doing it right? What are we supposed to do? I'm not…

I don't think it's at all clear that he meant that comment how it's being taken, and anyway part of his persona is to be flippant. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Yeah I didn't read his response how it's being reported either. It's very ambiguous and to me sounded like he was either saying the hubbub over there not being a black widow movie was make believe or that super heroes are make believe.

Perhaps it has more to do with how others react to the presence of a man than to the inherent qualities of men. I don't take the post or replies as "we feel safer with men around because we are weak women" i read them as "we feel safer with men around because in our patriarchal society other men who might want to…

The girl can't win. She has some tweaking in her video and she's racist, she does some minimal 60's style dancing and she's a rhythm-less white person. it doesn't look like flailing to me. It's just not intricate choreography, because she's not a dancer.

I think it's silly to feel ownership over things you didn't create that exist in the culture and are accessible to anyone. I've watched plenty of things I discovered early on become big, and I always found it exciting, because it meant the artists I like are doing well. I also like being able to share the things I…

I think you're all confusing saying you like something with discovering it.
