You’re kidding, right? The wage disparity is between people in the same industry, doing the same job. I’m not even sure what the hell you’re talking about.

I mostly agree with you. However. I think the wage gap being consistent across the board means that their fight will impact my fight and your fight. I think frankly that working from the ground up is more successful as a political strategy for social change. However, I feel personally vindicated to know this is

Yeah. It’s hard enough getting paid for the hours I’ve worked in my work-study job. I’m a teacher, which means inevitably that I spend about as much time putting together lesson plans and taking trips for extra supplies etc. as I do in the classroom—all of which is unpaid time which eats into my studies.

Yep. Plus if you recognize that even some of the most highly-paid women in America are still paid significantly less than their male counterparts, it might make you think about the wage gap in more general ways. Also, and I haven’t really heard this mentioned, but lots of young women and girls really look up to

Really? Be considered a hero by who? Because the producers she wants to appeal to in order to get jobs are not gonna like her more for this.

I don’t think that Sarandon was insisting that every living female should follow her example. The “fight harder” narrative is obviously a result of internalized sexism, which I am sure is not unique to Sarandon. Maybe let’s not attack someone making herself vulnerable over something that is obviously a real issue in

Oh, come on, you guys. First of all, Sarandon didn’t say outright she was thinking about voting for Trump for the reasons she said. Second, are you really so insecure about your own “wokeness” that you need to attack her for not toeing the party line on this one? What’s wrong with you people? The bitter infighting

I really like that she stated outright that she wanted a woman candidate to represent her interests. Who said stars had to be perfect, or use completely PC language? She said what she meant, and she clearly intended to actually communicate something real within the Hollywood mealy-mouthed machine. Good for her.

There is almost never “proof” in the way you mean that child molesters have committed this crime, aside from statements made by their victims. Dylan Farrow was very brave to speak out, and there is little reason to believe she would lie about something so personal and potentially humiliating. Also, she chose to try

I’m glad Jezebel found someone with industry experience to write this article, but c’mon, y’all. This article is pretty rife with bad grammar and poor edits. I feel a little let down as a reader when I come across articles like this.

I mean, I think the point Shechet made that Trump’s administration seriously threatens Jews within the U.S. is very strong. I also think though that criticizing Israel’s interactions with Palestine really opens up a lot of questions about how the U.S. government continues to treat Native Americans in this country.

To me, Aimee sounds like someone who knows what she wants, and knows what she does not. She’s taken herself “off the market,” so to speak, by refusing to date. If she really wanted to go meet someone, then as she pointed out, she could easily do so. Instead, she has chosen to be alone.

WOW. First off, I know plenty of women who married, had children, and will now be facing the same situation in old age thanks to an untimely divorce and/or midlife crisis. Second, there are plenty of people in this world with sufficient funds and/or frugal spending to purchase a perfectly satisfactory old age: this is

I mean, I do think that teachers could use some basic anti-oppression training. Not only would that weed out the parents whose beliefs make them totally incapable of being halfway decent teachers, it would challenge people who are committed to the profession to work on their attitudes. We live in a racist society, and

I mean, I worked with elementary school kids this past semester and it definitely wasn’t all great. At the same time, basic empathy and compassion kept me going. More than that, kids that age really NEED basically any positive adult role model they can find. There’s a lot of good that teachers can do at that level.

I mean, it depends. I could have easily voted, but I have ptsd and serious physical access issues, and this semester of college exhausted me so much I honestly couldn’t handle figuring out what state I’m even registered in. I live in a blue state, though, and I figured my vote wouldn’t make much of a difference.

WORD. I still cringe in embarrassment at having asked my POC friends about online platforms where critical race theory and related issues were being discussed—and they were FRIENDS, and this was in a COLLEGE setting. It seems from this exchange as though Swinson had never actually MET Cho prior to this exchange. That

Yeah, y’all missed something. You missed the part where Tilda asked Margaret Cho to condense years of activism into a single reply because Tilda is apparently unwilling to go online and read the debates herself. You’re missing the part where Cho is not obligated to represent the entire platform for Asian-Americans in
