Good news, women: you can* have it all! Career and babies!

We should do it though. If we don’t, we’re selfish bitches. But once we do we better not expect government aid of any kind. Cause after all it was entirely our decision and no one forced us into it. :/

As Lena said in her tweets, the Met story was about her own insecurities,

i love the show, but i get my enjoyment from hating pretty much everyone. every character. except maybe ray.

I really wish there was a gif of someone saying “Boo, Bitch, BOOOOOOO.”

These two aren’t like other feminists, y’all! They’re cool with rape jokes and can be just as objectionable as men!

Having experienced both a burst ovarian cyst and a rape, I wouldn’t consider them to be comparable experiences. And I resent the fuck out of the idea that because I or other women have gone through X, I should be totally down with any jokes about Y. Maybe some people can. Others can’t and shouldn’t have to.

Just a couple of Tea Party soccer moms chattin’ at Panera!

Oh, so we don’t have to fight stupid, victim-blaming, punching-down rape jokes in comedy anymore (and Lindy’s book comes to mind in doing its share of that work) because we’re “so strong” and “queens”? So victims (and any human being with a modicum of decency) don’t need to fight for the right to be viewed as humans?…

He’s definitely being honest in the way he talks about her as an afterthought. I don’t think anyone’s questioning that aspect of it.

The regular kind. I see narcissist-sociopath-psychopath as a spectrum rather than clearly demarcated categories. It all comes down to lack of empathy. It’s probably some kind of brain chem imbalance and they likely can’t feel anything for others. But that does’t make it ok for them to traumatize and harm everyone else.

Fuck, I still feel occasional guilt about being mean to a former roommate in college who tried to screw us out of rent because I realize in hindsight she was struggling with depression. I’m about Parker’s age, it happened when I was 21. About once a year she floats into my mind and I regret not being more…

And Oh My God culture has not shifted THAT much on rape since 1996. We are not talking 1896 here.

You know, that (plus a detailed and thoughtful apology written by someone who actually understands what he should be apologizing for) might be enough for me. Not “enough” in a literal sense — I believe he raped a woman, I believe he doesn’t personally feel responsible or remorseful, and I believe it would be a…

Yeah, makes me think that the rape scene was more for male entertainment pleasure than to make a point.

I hate all this “new definition” of consent crap. Sex without consent has always been rape, it’s just that people are becoming more willing to acknowledge that now.

How many Black men you know that are talking about gender?

Being a woman in 2016 if very different, imagine being a woman 20 years ago, and when we talk about consent, maybe 20 years from now we’ll know things about consent and examine it from a different perspective than we are now.

Yeah and everything is still all about him. “I myself just learned....” How about “the young woman has since passed” or a million other variations that aren’t centered around him. I am not saying that he shouldn’t have the spotlight on him, he should mos def be in the hot seat but the way he talks just shows how…

“I myself just learned that the young woman ended her own life several years ago and I am filled with profound sorrow,” Parker wrote.

“Parker also admitted that when he wrote the initial Facebook post, a whole two weeks ago, he, “never took a moment to think about the woman.”
