Suggesting that women of color should suppress their concerns in order to support white women for the sake of feminist solidarity, even as white women devalue them, is the oldest trick in the White Feminist book. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just google it; there are plenty of resources to fill you in.…

If you’re confused about the context of a story, that’s why there are sources cited. Rebel had been getting quite a lot of feedback, and she’s been handling it very poorly indeed. For the sake of efficiency, I’ll redirect you to my previous comment on the matter: https://jezebel.com/1830213908

You’re welcome! It sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out, the way that Jezebel’s news-aggregation posts never seem to go beyond the most cursory details and often fail to clarify out-of-context quotations, as though the blogger on duty didn’t bother to read all the way through the sources they linked to. So if…

If we could also get Queen Latifah in a rom-com with a lady love, that would be fabulous!

“Rebel Wilson, appears to be thoughtful on things that she finds important.”

That “honey” tweet above? Go ahead and click on it, folks. If you scroll all the way up, you’ll see that Claire Willett actually went to the trouble of writing out a 28-tweet thread in order to lay out exactly What The Problem Is, starting with this:

Ugh, what a nightmare. It really puts things in perspective for me, since I have a widowed cousin who just got remarried and I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach for her kids because they’re so much more emotionally invested in this marriage than she is (ironic, I know) and this guy has an incredibly flakey track…

Honestly, it kind of amazes me that it’s even legal for the guy in charge of Georgia elections to run for governor without first vacating his current office. It seems like a textbook conflict of interest, does it not?

You mean because of the name “Grande”? I can’t figure out how one would work that into a punny phrase that answers the question in any way. Help me get the joke!

Pleeease tell me this woman is not a mother.

That’s amazing! I love the idea of deciding to make the most of a crummy situation by spending some quality time with yourself in a way that you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do.

What kind of “theater person” gets invited to go see freaking HAMILTON – his $500 ticket already paid for, no less! – and acts like it’s nbd??? This behavior is so truly bizarre that I must theorize every possible explanation:

Yes, I’m aware of that, which is exactly why I said I was sure no one was fazed at the time. I know it’s a matter of cultural norms, but the reason that norm has begun to change is that it’s degrading to routinely infantalize women (in a way that no one does with men). It was totally normalized, but that doesn’t mean…

Well, I suppose one could argue that it was meant to serve as a bunker or something, but then you remember the theatre and it’s like nah, that was a total bone-zone.

Plus, if she attended college at Tulane from 1966-70, she would’ve been about 27 at the time. But they called her a “girl” over and over and over again, because of course they did – I’m sure not a single person was fazed by that particular word choice.

People just can’t be bothered to actually READ THE FREAKING ARTICLE before they respond with a wholly unoriginal Hot Take.

I’m just like Ashley Reese, apparently, because I don’t usually find ~scary~ stories to be all that compelling, but yours is eeeerie. I think part of it is that we can all relate so strongly to the terror of KNOWING that something is wrong and still being disbelieved – like when Christine Blasey-Ford literally said…

If you think that’s the big Snape spoiler, you are wayyy behind the times, my friend!

Wait, is the whole “Random: in German” thing some kind of reference I’m not getting?
