I came here to say the same. I don’t understand the shade of this article. I am only 37 but have experienced a very brief affair during a 3-day trip to Berlin that changed my life and changed me as a person. I described that man in terms similar to those used in the book, not because I literally worshipped him or…

If you worked in a bookstore when this novel came out, you have been asked by a million people for variations on the title such as, “The Covered Bridges of the County.” And if you were the passive-aggressive little $hit I was working at a Borders Book Shop, you looked blankly at said customer and typed in the exact…

Gen Xer here who knew better than to try the Docs and flannel look, because I remain uncool:

The comment about “Woody Allen the steamroller” (as opposed to the public image of Allen as a neurotic) reminds me of how Orson Welles absolutely pegged him for what he always was decades ago.

“We just have to stop asking that question. I know you’re asking it out of love, but I’m just going to make a stance and say that I’m not going to answer that question anymore because the question should really be to the abuser: Why are you holding someone hostage with abuse? And people say, it can’t have been that…

I know why the question “Why didn’t you leave?” is very problematic but I also kind of appreciate hearing it posed to women as intelligent and articulate as FKA Twigs. It’s so validating to me to hear these women I perceive as so much stronger than myself explain exactly what kept them in place.  It helps me realize…

Whenever I see this kind of blatant error I check, and yup, it’s Joan again.  Sigh.

I started having sex in 2009 when I was in college, late teens, for context. A not insignificant number of dudes would just start choking me without any discussion of boundaries, if I’d like that, etc. Like they had a mental checklist of steps to sex, and choking was one of them.

I’ll also add that once you find a guy who fits your first bullet point don’t be afraid to lead and teach during sex to get what you want.

I’m not buying the idea that the growing obsession with deep throat has anything to do with a man’s need to visualize female orgasm or pleasure. Hilarious. You can’t tell me that this isn’t a direct reaction to women being more and more vocal about sexism, feminism, and our collective anger. Put a dick in her mouth…

Look, as a gay, I have never abandoned Lilo or Britney, and I have BEEN telling people how dirty the deck was that these two were dealt. Heaven forbid they would have been Black women, who had to deal with issues like theirs, because Hollywood would have treated them even more awfully. I mean, I cringe thinking of the…

I never liked Letterman. Did not find him especially funny or entertaining. There was always an undercurrent of something that repulsed me. Now I understand more clearly what it was. 

And don’t forget this shit:

It’s a simple feeling of unfairness, compounded by the feeling that others’ irresponsibility is lengthening the pandemic, and even a personal hurt if they’ve personally lost friends and family.

I really sympathize with the letter writer here. I think one of the things we’ll be dealing with long after this pandemic is over is the loss of respect for people over their behavior throughout this ordeal. I mean, I get that there are some people who would look at me going for walks in my neighborhood with friends…

I’ve been hyper-careful during this whole time, and also find myself inclined to judge those who aren’t, but ultimately I came to figure out that it just is not worth my time, energy, or the cost on my mental health to hold onto or cultivate anger or negative feelings against people. Me being mad at them won’t change…

It baffles me that I keep encountering the idea that this woman is somehow the underdog or even a hero after this moment of colossal and self-inflicted fuckery.

He’s an idiot. I can buy that Trump has some kind of animal cunning that let him tap into the worst parts of American culture and leverage that ignorance to his advantage. But that feels almost coincidental, like he was a symptom of something larger that landed him where he was, and then had the right “skillset”…

Timberlake is the most annoying celebrity of all.  And his reputation is really, really bad.  I wish we would cancel him once and for all. 

I thoroughly enjoyed those highlights from Max Collins.  His Twitter is a treasure.
