I've been eagerly awaiting this and have already made plans to see the exhibition with my mother. When I mentioned it on Jez last month a commenter who works there suggested going when the weather is warm because Wintherthur has lovely gardens.
Really? People aren't putting together that it's customary for Jewish people to circumcise their sons? They're just going to impose their own values onto a practice that's thousands of years old and rooted to deeply held beliefs? Oh, right, because AMURRIKA.
Those are incredible! I wish they cycled slower. :)
It's the music video curse!!! Why aren't more people concerned about this very real entity?!? It took Ashlee Simpson and Ryan Cabrera from us!
John Mayer now lies somewhere in Memphis, Egypt, a shell of his former self, a pile of pink sand.
:( I hope John Mayer is not turned into Flaming Hot Cheetoes dust.
But it's not about power, it's about the truth.
You know how the internet works, Erin. Write anything mildly critical of someone and the internet hoardes demand that person end their life. Nuance doesn't translate well in pixels, I guess.
Not Madeleine, perhaps, but some of the commenters and the perpetually offended internet hive mind which demands a blood sacrifice almost daily.
Yea, as he often does - seems like Tim Gunn is mostly talking about how clothes fit. I admire someone who admits that find a topic complicated and take some time to think about it and learn (which, seems like he's done some reflection and is in the process of further reflection) rather than just picking up the…
I think what he's trying to say is right-on. But what he's trying to say is about body diversity, not about trans models. Trans models aren't a problem. The problem is that the fashion industry excludes models that have body shapes that look like the kind of bodies that a lot of women have. He's right to be concerned…
Bring out the torches....
You know, I don't have a huge problem with an adult admitting that an issue is complicated and trying to think it out. Transgender issues and rights are relatively recent discussion points, so I don't fault people in not immediately jumping to the "correct" conclusion and worldview. I'm not saying we should give…
He wasn't silenced because money isn't speech. And MRAs don't control the world, thank Zod.
Nope. Wrong. Not least because look who's got all the power and who is getting all the publicity. Oberst. Do a poll on who now assumes this accusation is false simply because the accused attacker made that claim and I'll have another data point on my side as well.
But if it is seen that he was 'silenced' by Right To Speak Out, every MRA/rapist will immediately point to this case as an example of how the system is inherently biased against the accused which will also harm rape victims.
But this suit does harm to rape victims anyway, by encouraging silence. That's true whether she's lying (or delusional) or not.
False rape accusations are just as harmful to real victims as his lawsuit may be. How about instead of working over the victim in this case, they focus on the person in the wrong?
This is consistently my favourite feature on Jezebel but may I suggest a weekly tl;dr? Vinegar. It's the answer to everything and I love it and want to marry it.
