Gotcha! Thanks!

It's interesting how the statute of limitations doesn't run out on this because the counts of sexual assault add up to a life sentence. Jeze lawyers, any idea why this couldn't be the case with Woody Allen?

Women of any age: this is how it's done!

I totally agree with you here, and the truth is that it's not bad to show stories like this. One single movie doesn't reinforce or necessarily glorify these kinds of lifestyles or personal narratives. The issue is that this is all we get. In the last year there have been countless stories about rich white men engaging…

I'm really interested in how this movie deals with race, specifically because they chose to use "Black Skinhead" as the track for several of the trailers. I haven't seen it yet, mostly because I don't want it to make me grumpy— but in preparation for seeing it this weekend I watched the trailer a couple of times and…

My one really big resolution (aside from gym related things that I say I'll do every year and never do, whatevarr) is the stop buying lunch. I'm really focusing on packing my lunch 3 (ideally four) days a week and cooking meals 4 nights a week in order to have leftovers to take to work. This is SERIOUSLY going to help…

I tried to start up this conversation too, over here: http://groupthink.jezebel.com/feminist-beyon…

Does anyone have reliable information on how effective diaphragms and sponges are? For various reasons I really don't want to be on the pill but am looking into alternatives to condoms with my partner.

It's actually not, is it? It just isn't following written rules. But most people don't follow written grammar when speaking, right? If you are indeed right, then we have a ton of different English languages in the United States. There's a past history of referring to the way black people talk as a different language,…

Came back to comment, but basically what Sek-boy said. I was just saying based on my personal anecdotal evidence, I don't think Kanye's being anti-semitic. I think on a broader scale he's talking about a small minority that controls a much larger portion of American wealth than other minorities. Thant's all. But I…

Read genuine tone here: I'm not getting anti-semitism from his statement. As someone who went to a school in the north east that had a super wealthy student population that was like 40% jewish, I kind of get what he is saying. Am I missing something?

That's not another language, I promise. You can do it. I believe in you.

Yeahhhhhh, that accent is horrible. They maybe jumped the gun with the academy award on this one.

It's been my experience that my female bosses seem more like "hardasses" ( and that can sometime come off as being a mean) because they have to constantly justify their right to their position in addition to overseeing their staff. I'm sure there are just some bad women bosses out there— but I had one boss straight up…

I was at Yale with Lupita and I can say that she is a really really great person. She and I did a public service fellowship together in New Haven one year and she is every bit as friendly and warm as her demeanor implies.

No clue! I just walked on by because I can't afford drinks at the bar she was in.

Just stopping by to say that I saw her at a bar in my neighborhood last night and thought the exact same thing. She is quite spritely though, and she looked quite gorgeous.

Wow, it just doesn't end does it?

It definitely isn't right. No argument here for that, I just don't have enough empathy to go round, I guess. It's hard to read the article and scroll past pictures of Jane Doe being assaulted and get to the end of the article and feel like the effect on the lives of the townspeople is all that important. But I get…

I totally agree that it must suck for those people to have to deal with the negative backlast — but to put it in perspective I don't feel like it's that much of a tragedy that the town got maligned. People judge people based on where they are from all the time: New Jersey, the south, rural areas, etc. It's not great…
