Right? Matt, baby, listen: no one will think you’re pretty if you don’t shut up. Just stop talking, there. And smile! You’re so much nicer-looking when you smile. /ugh

Q: Is there a difference between butt grabbing and rape?

WHY don’t their PR teams coach these idiots on what to say? Disney coached their child stars extensively on how to avoid sticky topics and what to say about things that had to be discussed. Surely Disney doesn’t employ the only competent PR team on the planet, so why do these men keep trying to discuss something they…

In October I participated in historical reenactment for a Halloween event in which I had to wear a hoopskirt for my costume and I loved it. I’ve always loved the 1850s/60s era style dresses but that hoopskirt gave me my own physical bubble of space and I started discussing how men hated the “crinoline” fashion because…

i hope all the dresses also have studs and spikes and chains on them so that they look even scarier and also physically repel men away from them. all the men. even their significant others.

So like ... can I have maternity leave? Affordable prenatal care? Any treatment for my battered lady-bits after birth? Help with childcare? (My parents live very, very far away and I really like what I do for a living.) Will my daughters be able to get jobs where they won’t be harassed by their employers, or is their…

It’s so much like Dan Bakkedahl from Veep IRL I can’t even believe it

Wait, wat? They “found, 6-0, that there wasn’t enough effort”? He didn’t try hard enough to harass people? His efforts were weak? Lame? Not enough energy behind his words and actions? This guy got elected and he’s this stupid, to say that?

I’ve been wondering about this too, not from a “how to forgive the men” perspective, more like a “how men should now behave to make it stop” perspective. Public admission, tell other men not to be like this, and then...?Def him retweeting accolades kinda ruins it for me.

I’m fascinated by the line “She said she didn’t want to have sex, and then we started to have sex.” He doesn’t say “She told me she changed her mind and really wanted to sleep with me,” or that she went to tyr bathroom for condoms , just that they started having sex, and considering she started crying it certainly…

There’s a lot more going on with his suicide than just him being exposed as a rapist. I say this because there is going to be an avalanche of blame (and harassment and worse) directed at his victim. Before he blessedly relieved the Earth of his presence, a local public radio station was publishing an ongoing…

Also it doesn’t hold up in a court of law. You are not allowed to commit crimes and be forgiven by saying the devil made you do it.

I think that makes you a good person. Good people think about what their good luck or advantages can do for others. The few times a year when I buy a lottery ticket, I always dream about how awesome it would be to walk into the homes of my sisters and parents and friends and tell them I’ve paid it all off. I don’t…

Trash me if you want but I think that’s super cool of Clooney to have done that and I applaud him for doing it.

Ok I would totally do this if I had that kind of money (minus the ridiculous suitcases and $20 dollar bills). Does that make me a terrible person? I’m pretty sure he donates a fair amount to charity as well and he has more money than he can spend, so it’s not like this is taking away from charity donations or…

I was watching CNN the time when that happened; he was being sexist and tone policing her (you knew he wanted to call her an overly emotional angry black woman).

As is often the case, I really don’t have anything productive or informative to say. I just found an all-purpose gif of Symone Sanders from last night that I think many of you women will find very useful in future debates with Deadspin commentators:

If you want to know how much last night’s vote mattered witness how quickly Republicans scrambled to get everything Susan Collins wants back into their tax plan.

She’s pretty cool in my book. And has a sense of humor.

Dick is criminally underrated. It is such a fantastic movie (Dan Hedaya’s Nixon was brilliant!) and one of my all-time favorites. I felt so bad for them having to film scenes in those era-authentic clothes in the hot swamp-ass DC summer.
