It’s kind of metallic, chemically, and no matter what meat or seasoning you put on it, the food all has that same taste. It’s extra confusing because of the ceramic pot... There’s no plastic or metal touching the food. And it’s happened with multiple crockpots and I’ve never tasted it with my cooking in normal pots…
This article is very clearly not trying to say that no women use sex to draw in viewers, as evidenced by the last paragraph in which they talk to a streamer who blatantly and openly admits to doing so. The point of the article is that people assume that this is the ONLY business model that any woman who streams, ever,…
would have been better for him to own up to his shit behavior and have THAT be the reason he doesn’t show up. Not passively aggressively blame everyone else.
If it’s the victim’s fault it can’t happen to YOU, right? Because you’d do something different. You’d be smarter. Bless you... I really hope you’re never in this situation.
This reminds me a lot of what’s going on in the kink community right now—for years, the culture was seen as outside the mainstream, so the idea of complaining to authorities about sexual assault didn’t seem tenable, and people who were skilled in their area of expertise were lauded and feted to the point where they…
Jezebel didn’t cover the email from the Babe author to Ashleigh Banfield and I wish they would have. It makes me cringe for the whole situation. Sorry for the BuzzFeed link it came up first.
Absolutely. And then she further destroyed all credibility the original article might have had when she sent that ranting, profanity-laden email to Ashleigh Banfield. Sigh...22-year olds.
This. To me both Grace and Ansari were being honest about their perceptions of the encounter; I think he really thought everything was fine, and THAT’S what we need to be talking about now. It very obviously wasn’t fine.
Yep, I’m pretty convinced that the reason people are all “jeez, this consent thing is so COMPLICATED” and “how is anyone supposed to know where the line is?” is because acknowledging that anything other than unequivocal and enthusiastic consent is assault makes their own behavior/experiences problematic.
It is.
I wish I was this eloquent.
I think this is an excellent article that points out what, in my opinion, should have been the message of the Ansari story. It shouldn’t have been, “Aziz Ansari is a bad guy and we need to bring him down.” It should have been, “Look, guys, you need to pay attention to us when we say or show you that we are not…
“You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. “Once again I have…
Except for Alec Baldwin I guess? Fuck that guy!
I’ll cut to the chase and say that Ross should have been getting the same pay as Anderson since season 2 at the very latest and after the pilot episode at the earliest. It’s total bullshit that she hasn’t. Bull and shit.
It makes me wonder whether she was molested as a child. I dislike her profoundly and don’t want to excuse her in any way. But normalizing and dismissing the seriousness of abuse is one (dysfunctional) way victims cope.
