haha well, it’s always satisfying to have a question answered.

Also dammit I still don’t understand this damned commenting system. Someone has to approve the followup I add to my own comment thread? Who would ever do that?

Yep. I’m happy we’ve got the Ritz in Philly as well.

So glad you’re highlighting this film. The reviews - not just here - are stellar. Of course because it’s a movie about girls and none of them are XMen the theatrical release is limited BUT it is coming to a bunch of places where people can see it. Lots of info on the film’s website but I went and grabbed the places…

Yes. yesyes. And, more generally - what is the purpose of an outlet like Jezebel? Such a large percentage of the articles here boil down to self-righteous critiques of some particular attempt at feminism based on the attempter’s failure to adequately account for some facet of her identity that makes her a…

Aw, I like you too (many days too late). Don’t expect to see too many of my deep thoughts on here in the future, tho. When I do comment it’s usually trapped down in the gray grays of the grayniverse, and Kinja has been through about ten iterations since the last time I thought I understood why that happens, or how you…

haha fat chance. But we are now buds. We’re probably not changing the culture at Gawker Media, but our voices have been heard by a small minority. Which... makes us justlikeSusanSarandonOMG!!!

Not that this is for anyone’s benefit but my own, but going one step further: I’m married to a woman who works in film, on the technical side, in an area that is incredibly sexist and at a level (for now) that is very far from Hollywood wealth and movie-star privilege. She struggles to get the kinds of breaks that…

I love the phrase “umbrage machine!” I’ve been using the immediately-dated “outrageosphere,” but yours is better. Also, I like Hillary Clinton and think you’re being too hard on her. But that’s okay! We are together on Sarandon. Maybe we should just vote for her.

The question about valuing Lawrence’s work was quasi-rhetorical, but the answer is obvious: nothing. Lawrence’s value says absolutely nothing about how we value any woman’s work. It speaks only to how we value Jennifer Lawrence.

Among the many tediousnesses perpetrated here, a top hit is pretending not to recognize when someone was being sarcastic, sardonic, ironic or any shade of insincere, when it’s clickier to be outraged. Related: pretending not to know that a person who’s joking often means something different than what their words…

(Of course any idiot can see there are better places to point my own critical eye than the inescapable wasteland of the Jezebel grays. Guess that makes me, at the very least, “not just any idiot.”)

You know, I really like your writing. Have since The Awl. Think you are extremely perceptive and talented and a lot of your pieces offer a lot. But I have noticed this thread recently of pieces policing the boundaries of right-thinking right thinking. The Macklemore beat, sorta. And I do understand the impulse but at…

If it was just a symbol of unity, men would take women’s names as often as the reverse. Duh?

(I’d like to help but is there any chance this won’t languish in the greys?)

This is pure, deep, irrational, red-faced, Trump-level fact-defying wrong-opinion-having. And a total flip-flop in the bargain. Elsewhere on this very site, you make big chest-beating claims about your pimento cheese recipe.

How about: Nama g’o.

If you end up with egg on your face, make sure it’s just the white.

I think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s a true gender-plastic biofuturist. He wants to ride that pussy as a stroller would. He’s saying, “I’m going to ride that pussy while carrying a baby inside of me.” Which is beautiful.

I get TK’s point. But I think Maher didn’t do a good job of articulating the legitmate part of HIS point (and maybe Sanders’) - which is something about this question: shouldn’t activists approach allies (or likely allies) differently than the way they approach antagonists?
