I see no problem with the underwater cameras, I see a problem with freaking out over seeing a woman’s nipple, especially in this context. They’re not sex objects, they’re athletes competing. This view gives a good look at a sport where a lot more happens under the surface of the water than the casual fan realizes.…

WE NEED A RECURRING DAILY GOOD NEWS (NON-CELEBRITY RELATED) POST ON JEZ. MY BRAIN CAN NO LONGER TAKE ALL OF THE MADNESS AND HURT IN THE WORLD IN ONE SMALL SPACE.

I love that Vogue considers Schumer’s totally unsurprising fondness for the New York Times to be a literary eccentricity requiring ethnographic contextualization:

I read this as Amy Schumer admitting her own privilege as a cis, straight, traditionally presenting woman. Is anything she said untrue? I would think that for anyone who diverges from the norm of white, straight, cis, gender binary presenting, things would be more challenging. I think this even this attitude, if…

WHAT IS DEADSPIN MAY NEVER DIE.

They have IGN, why would they need Kotaku? Which is bullshit. Kotaku is a tire fire but it’s OUR tire fire and they honestly do some great gaming reporting.

Thank you for this! Hooray for E Street Landmark in DC!

Thanks for this!

Yes fucking yes! Thank you! Your wife is lucky to have such a wonderful and understanding spouse

Agree. I actually believe that if an industry as powerful and hugely influential as Hollywood gets its shit together about stuff like this, it will have positive ripple effects on other industries. Show business is a multi-billion dollar industry, and if they can show that hey you can pay people fairly and equally and…

this!

Shit, I like you. I hope you comment more.

Thank you

No, I realize that, but I just disagree completely with the premise because it’s not a good comparison. Something about it just doesn’t sit well with me. Like, are women who are famous or influential not allowed to talk about stuff anymore because it may somehow hurt poor women going through the same thing? Or is it…

Since you don’t have that information, I think there could be a humbler way to raise the issues you raise without doing this endless dance of passing judgment on the always misguided, always uninformed, always blinkered, privileged, foolish ways that other people practice feminism.

I understood the use of trickle down in this particular article as the argument that when rich, successful people speak out about an issue, the change, like awareness of the wage gap, will trickle down into the middle and working class. I don’t think she actually meant that the money that Jennifer Lawrence gets paid…

You keep using trickle down like you know what it means. Susan Sarandon is not the government; she is an actress. She’s not obligated to speak on anyone else’s behalf. Her speaking is not preventing low income women from speaking.

I am very concerned about the wage gap which clearly exists between me and Jennifer Lawrence.

I mean, lolololo@ she's an "awful" human being. She's really not. She's problematic as hell, but all the Iggy haters really need to learn to scale back the language. Who does the average person think of when they think of people who would count as "awful human beings?" Muammar Gaddafi, for example, or Hitler, or Pol…
