She can go fuck off. I’m glad she’ll be a pariah for the rest of her life.

When you marry a piece of shit for money, you lay in that shat in bed forever.

I found it a bit eerie that you could just search-and-replace the names in this article with those of any of the recent powerful-man-harasses-woman-at-work stories and have it be pretty much identical, right down to the “but he/she is really good at their job!” defenses.  Yay equality?  Also:  yuck.

Lauding her “brilliant scholarship” and “intellectual generosity” and noting that the French government recently bestowed a prestigious award upon her,

Yup. I’m also v tired of the “—of Jewish heritage—” shit casually thrown in there. Like, who gives a flying fuck about your heritage, not sure how it’s germane to possible sexual harassment, etc.

I don’t think it’s ethical to blur professional and personal lines when there’s a power imbalance in a professional setting. Anecdotal, but as a supervisor, I zealously avoided personal connections with my employees and others who were not necessarily my direct reports, but were subordinate to me in my position. 

“...She is miserable.”

Ugh. Enough already with the damn “this person has done a lot of good, therefore they could never have done anything wrong” letters. I can understand it’s hard to accept that a friend or idol might not be who you thought they were but keep your thoughts to yourself.

YES. I have zero fucking sympathy for her. She may not have chosen this, but she did choose to marry an anthropomorphic pile of vomit posing as a human being, while (at best) tacitly condoning his worst impulses while he sets fire to the world. Boo fucking hoo if she’s unhappy.

“...Don’t feel sorry for me. Don’t feel sorry for me.”

Washington Post, SF Chronicle, various other news websites. 

Why fuck the NY Times? 

A number of the individuals making these threats have domestic violence and assault charges in their pasts. This is super serious and I hope these people go to jail.

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. This is heartbreaking. I don’t know if I’d be able to send my kid back to that school knowing this.

“I really don’t think it’s relevant for anyone anymore. But especially if you’re 60 and and fucking rich and you have four kids and you’re living the life you’ve always wanted. Then why get married? It’s, like, I would love to fall in love and have a romance, a relationship, but I haven’t. I keep looking. I’ve had a…

I was going to say exactly that. How many profiles of single mothers are there? What about women going to PP for abortions? I feel like I know the statistics but I don’t know the people and I read a lot of news.

I forget which news outlet published it, but sometime in the past year, I managed to find an article about how minorities in rural areas of the US felt about the 2016 election and being surrounded by white people who likely voted for Trump. We need more articles like that!

If they really want to do a profile piece on “forgotten Americans,”maybe they could, I don’t know, go down to the Res and do some interviews there. Or any of the countless other nonwhite groups out there that we (wypipo) in America would very much like to pretend don’t exist anymore, because thinking about all the…

For sure. I don’t know what your specific situation is, but would a living will be of any help?

That’s actually a big worry for myself as well. Family can’t remember/won’t acknowledge my name/gender while I’m alive. I sure as hell don’t want to be buried with my deadname.
