The mental gymnastics that must be required in order to make that statement to a reporter are staggering to contemplate. Did he really think that anyone would think “a doctor told me a spanking from her boss would help her anxiety” actually fucking happened?!

Yeah the pushback given to commenters here who thought Franken should go (about three accusers in) was telling. I did a little digging throughout the shittier replies at the time and surprise surprise, most of the people hectoring and lecturing about how misguided the call for Franken’s exit was were dudes. Not…

While my marriage was clearly ending, I took a dance class to get out of the house. One of my class mates was an acquaintance who was there with her husband. I was a smidge jealous (like light envy) of them and their date night, until the next time I ran into her at the pub. Turns out they were trying to reconnect now…

Women making music does affect men because it fosters competition. That’s what this is really about. Jealousy and insecurity.

The Bob Dylan interview in 1987 that broke my freshman heart, and every last shred of respect for him. NB, he adulates U2 three lines later in the interview. Bold mine.

Our lead campaign at the moment is called Poverty Is Sexist. And there is another one called Girls Count. About 130 million girls can’t go to school who want to go to school.

I would wear black, but make sure it was something revealing

That’s illegal if you’re in the US. Look up the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA). There are some even stronger statutes at the state level, so check your state as well.

Since we’re on the subject, can we all agree never to use the term “soccer mom” again?

If you remember nothing else from this life, remember that women like cars because they can do whatever they damn well please.

an AV Club commenter making excuses or a white woman? I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.

Naw...if your first instinct is to go after the victims, and only apologize after you’ve been forced to see the error of your ways...
That’s not a mistake, that’s the goddamn issue of why women have been oppressed into silence.

How can they ever rehabilitate their careers? oh, the humanity!

Yeah, rapists and murderers really get a bad rap. I mean, has anyone ever thought to ask about their thoughts and feelings?

Just like with rapists and murderers, you want to hear from those men too, right? Include them in the conversation because of their invaluable insight? Jesus Christ, this woman.

“my goal today was to start a conversation about hearing from the men whenever we can”

I have only one request for a car “for ladies”-- a place to put my fucking purse that’s not the passengers seat! How hard is that?

Why is it that the only comments displayed are ones that agree with the Author? Some others made a good point but clearly Jezebel hivemind must continue on. Dodai your articles normally rock but this is giving off vibes like the NPR yellow cake article.

Holy fucking shit, Lindy. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Luckily, I doubt the men who made those comments are aware of the vagina's location, so if any of them actually tried to follow through on a rape threat, you'd have time to run away while they were all WHERE'S THE SEX HOLE?
