Paltrow was the victim; Weinstein was the abuser. There are a great number of reasons why victims of harassment and sexual abuse do not go public, which is why a staggering percentage of such victims never do. Anyhow, however you may feel about Paltrow, don’t lay this particular thing on her. It’s deeply shitty.

This was a terrific article. I binged Naked and Afraid at the start of the pandemic and the thing that stood out to me was the exhausting amount of energy the women had to put into managing the male egos. They couldn’t be better at fishing or fire starting; they couldn’t be forceful with their ideas; and they HAD to…

Bill Gates daughter might be new to billionaire money, but the Gates’s were rich before Bill. The giant international law firm K&L Gates? That’s Bill Gates’s dad. Bill Gates grew up wealthy. 

Joan, I am 100% on your team.

“...are now terrified and angry that they or their loved ones might have covid...”

I think it’s hilarious that she hasn’t talked to them since they were incarcerated! Basically no one is there to find a number and dial for her, so she can’t be bothered. 

This applies to literally every post by Joan.

You know how celebrities interview each other so they can avoid scrutiny from journalists?

No, she didn't read her own applications. How do I know? Because that was one of the services her parents bought. This woman literally didn't fill out her own applications so I'm not buying that she was totally clueless.

I hate counter seating and can’t imagine preferring it to a real table.  It’s cramped and seating is much more comfortable when your feet touch the ground.

Its interesting, I don’t mind the Mara sisters too much. Just average looking girls who are decent actresses and I’ve enjoyed the films they are in.

They are also the definition of ‘old money’ like Julia Louis Dreyfus, just in how they carry themselves, not overly flashy or too out of touch. (Probably drives a…

So, no bells went off in her head when they asked her to pose for a picture rowing?

I’d argue less for the island as status symbol but more of a practical move for women (or any household head) to multitask and be included in family life. As a mother living in a fairly untouched 100 year old craftsman in Oakland I can tell you our kitchen was built as a lonely, isolated room. Women were originally…

No, no no no no NO!
Fuck that entitled piece of extreme white privilege shit. Rewind to when she was gloating about never going to class, insinuating that she knew her parents bribed her way in even though she said she never wanted to go in the first place since she’s a self-proclaimed “celebrity influencer”.
Oh but she…

Masks also hide facial features, which humans use to recognize the “humanity” of others. It’s easier to say or do something shitty to someone whom your brain doesn’t recognize as fully human. Most of us have social skills that override that. People who are still eating in restaurants during a surge in a global…

One man actually said: “I don’t wear a condom; I sure as hell aren’t going to wear a mask!”

This just confirms my belief that many people who refuse to wear masks also hate using condoms. I know it's a generalization but it feels true. 

ehhh the mara sisters get asked about their richass football families all the time. i have no snark. game days are stressful to sports fans.

Words cannot express how maddening this is. I’ve seen it firsthand, and from family no less. No longer associate with them, but there is an obvious trend among assholes like this to also vote a specific way, belch out “Blue Lives Matter” when anyone even suggests the inherent racism of a justice system so quick to…

The “remove your mask or no tip” crap is apparently a *thing* among Covid-deniers/Trump supporters.
