I think Joshua is probably the odd man out in the Kushner family. I mean the dad went to federal prison and tried to blackmail his brother in law for providing evidence against him.

I am enamored by the idea that, just maybe, Jared is the black sheep in the Kushner family for marrying someone so far below his station, and from such a trashy family. I’d also love to have a reality TV crew at their house for the next Thanksgiving dinner now that this cat is out of the bag.
The military has traditionally been where we address many of our social problems before they’re addressed in the general population. For example, Truman integrated the military in 1948. That didn’t solve racism, but it did result in a lot of PoC being treated better in the military than they were in civilian life. For…
It’s the same reason people like upskirt photos. The lack of consent and the victimization of the women is the whole point.
There’s so much WILLING porn online that this sort of thing has me flummoxed. Participation in this is a red flag that screams “I’m a rapey bastard”.
Why the eff is she having sex with him?
We both told her “What he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him”. I even offered to throw the pill into her mouth and buy it.
Now playing
Uncle Phil was there when no one else was:
As someone in a similar situation with a friend who’s dating a guy that I don’t think is much of an improvement over her shitty ex-husband, do I tell her how I feel about this guy just based off of bad vibes (he kept mocking her intelligence the entire time we were playing Cards Against Humanity, even though shes…
When I confessed my sexual harassment story to a guy I used to work with, his response was “I always felt something was off about that guy and I could never figure out what it was. I figured I was being crazy, turned out he was sexually harassing a bunch of women in the office.” Sometimes you get a vibe and you don’t…
I’m an old (was an adult during the 80's. This was the very accepted, family-friendly norm to present the sexuality of a young woman on TV. She was a good girl (aka a virgin) being seduced by the dark side. Or she did a bad thing (had sex) and had a very bad outcome (got pregnant). Then she contemplates an abortion…
I’m generally pretty eyerolly about karma and energy and that kind of shit, but this is absolutely relatable to me. It’s like meeting a friend’s new boyfriend, feeling vaguely disquieted but having absolutely no specific reason to speak ill of him...and then come to find out years later that he was an abusive,…
Look, cults manage to do good work sometimes. They pick up broken people and put them back together, people no one else wants to bother with. That doesn’t make them not a cult. It doesn’t make the shit they spew true or not dangerous.
This week, Taylor Swift and her English boyfriend who may or may not dream of electric sheep,
The Root commenters were calmly furious about the arrangement at the beginning, reasoning that many of them were marginalized/banned over at Jez. It’s not good at all
I just feel like it’s the most... invisible thing to do compared to anything else they could have done and that no one actually cares if there aren’t articles for 3 hours. Granted I am not out feeding homeless women right now, but Jez actually has a platform. Turn the mic (so to speak) over to some of these…
I work from home, have 3 kids here with another fucking snow day, and sent them all outside in the snow.
I think this a great idea. With any foresight it could have been set up in advance, and we could have had a sort of International Women’s Day Thursday Nigh Social, amplifying under-served perspectives on an hourly basis. The content is generated, the regular staff writers still get to participate in the walk-out, and…
Follow grumpster I suppose. Many women (myself included) are the ones who write the press releases this piece scoffs at. Often at midnight through underpaid tears where I have no choice because my clients need me.
