Listen, I fully understand that the opinion that sexism is just “no big deal” is a very popular one, even here on Jezebel.

I actually believe him about that. I deliberately omitted his line of work, but it’s one known for crazy hours and high stress. I suspect that for those three weeks he was probably doing 14-18 hours a day, 7 days a week.

That’s why I started my first comment here by saying that I get why he’s not popular around here

It might not be a rejection. I’m not saying you shouldn’t move on, because you absolutely should. But it could be work or personal life issues that just popped up and he might try to get back on your radar when you don’t expect him to.

Like half the kids who came to my door last year said nothing. I gave them candy anyway. What am I going to do with a billion jolly ranchers?

1- You may not think that sexism is a big deal but plenty of people do. I was taking issue with the fact that you seem to think that people have a problem with Bob Dylan’s gender and race. It’s a strawman argument if there ever was one.

I think the issue is not his identity (old white curmudgeon) but how sexist his lyrics and work were. It’s kind of in the same vein as the way women were treated by men in the 60s, even in the so-called liberal progressive counterculture. If you listen to “I Shall be Free” or “Lay Lady Lay” or the sadistic glee in…

1- I’m sorry that you are so simplistic. Perhaps that is my fault for writing a nuanced opinion. I don’t think cultural appropriation is a problem in and of itself. The fact is, however, that we live in a society where members of nonwhite cultures are told daily, in dozens of different ways, that we are inferior.…

PenelopeParadis is a raging racist with a victim complex who tried to dismiss any replies to her that call her out on “culture is meant to be shared!” brand of racism.

I said basically the same thing and got dismissed, so good luck to you.

The disturbing thing about this defense is that it implies that Cosby raped so many women he’d have trouble identifying which one is accusing him.

Box braids are not simply “tiny braids” but a particular style of braids popularized by the African American community.

Rick and Morty is beloved by white, racist, sexist redditor fanboys everywhere but the commentary is actually pretty tolerable on the show. Just goes to show that you can get young men to agree with anything if you pepper it with burp-talk.

Of course it’s not real. I honestly thought the first comments would be about how it all sounded like a really bad creepypasta.

You and fiveburners are both right.

What’s actually sad is that you’re attempting to insult me personally for talking about clinical best practices.

Millions of people go to a shitty doctor who flings a height/weight ideal chart at them and says “this is what you should weigh” while offering absolutely nothing in the way of concrete advice or examples.

It’s an extremely simplistic view of the human metabolism. If I have a slow sink and I call a plumber and the plumber says, “sounds like your sink lets in more water than it lets out, so you’ll have to use less water from that sink,” that would be a shitty plumber.

That sucks.
