“were this country as homogeneously white as the Scandinavian countries beloved by democratic socialists, we would probably have universal healthcare and other similarly robust social safety nets. I think most poor white people want these things, they just don’t want them for POC.”

In my opinion there are four kinds of fundamentalists:

It’s child sexual abuse. Literally. Telling children that their bodies don’t belong to them? Publicly shaming children? These are medieval practices.

Have you thought about a baseball cap for summer?

I don’t think anything myself. I just know that you never know whether a prenup or an NDA is solid until the lawyers have at it.

Oh come on now. She’s not Eva Braun. Ivanka is Eva Braun. We can’t have TWO Eva Brauns.

NDAs are voidable for all the same reasons that contracts are voidable, which can be considered in two parts: The conditions under which they were entered into and present circumstances. NDAs can’t be used to conceal a crime, to conceal information of public concern, or to compel a person to compromise their health by…

People are going to start screaming “NDA” and “prenup” in a moment here. So I’m just going to say this: There is no such thing as a non-voidable NDA. There is no such thing as an ironclad prenup.

I have and I’m not going to argue that people can be assholes to female set workers. But at that level you really don’t see women being paid less than half of what their male counterparts are.

Her performance in Santa Baby deserves an Emmy.

And I don’t blame individual people for taking money, when its handed to them. But historically, there is overwhelming evidence that when the potential to earn a lot of money goes up in an industry, women get pushed out, or at least, are kept from advancing into positions where they would compete with men for that…

What I’m saying is it’s problematic that articles about sexism in hollywood focus on people who are multi billionaires or potential multi billionaires.

It wasn’t even really a flop by Hollywood standards.

Hollywood is not actually a particularly racist or sexist place to work, when compared to other industries. Articles like this focus on above the line workers (directors) and stars, people who stand to make millions of dollars on a project... and there, yes, you do see that white men aren’t letting go of those…

Since I actually work in schools, let me clear this up for you right now: Breast comments, bra comments, comments about someone’s gender, when repeated in a CLASSROOM are title 9 violations. If your kid goes to a shitty school and does this, nothing will happen. If he goes to a school that is on top of things, or if…

Not if you had to be eating disordered to keep your job. Trust me. After six months of sustained calorie restriction, you’d take carbs over any kind of drugs. No high is as compelling as the extreme hunger felt by the truly deprived.

Empowering, highly paid occupations like...?

I agree with you. And I would add that women objectifying men isn’t feminist either. (I don’t mean that in a what about the menz way. I just think that men produce shit like Magic Mike because they want an alibi, to be able to say: “You do it too.”)

Well, you’re wrong. And the joke is shit.

Exactly. Sheldon, like most of the characters on the show, are bullies. It takes a certain amount of skill, like that of Jim Parsons, to make you forget that the characters’ behavior is reprehensible (on a show where its not supposed to be). But there it is.
