Yep. Just about a year ago I was talking with co-workers about the “freshman 15" and I said I had gained weight in early college and then by the time I was in my last year I did this diet where I only drank an ensure shake once a day and a bag of chips from the vending machine. And this guy was like “So you had an…

This jumped out at me:

I tried to explain that to someone this morning who acted like this was a case of ‘live by the sword, die by the sword.’ There’s no functional difference between saying “Andrea Tantaros got what she deserved because of her politics” and “the college student got what she deserved because she drank too much at the frat…

Victims of sexual abuse can very often also end up as perpetrators.

Eh, he has said/done some pretty sexist stuff in the past. Off the top of my head (I’m from MA, so) I remember him making some sexist comments about Elizabeth Warren regarding her not being qualified to be a professor at Harvard and that he was happy she didn’t “take off her clothes” to pay for college, intimating she…

him, no, but there are plenty of dudes who would be all WUTZ THE BIG DEAL?!?!?!

Well, what is he going to say, “yep, I did that.”?

yes. you did read that.

WHAT DID I JUST READ?! Did the fact that the bride KILLED A CHILD make it into a story about her wedding as an aside?!

LOL silly girl. Have you considered having a dad? But, like, the good kind. Not one like mine who, if I asked him to give me a down payment, would laugh, throw $1 in my direction, and tell me not to spend it all in one place.

She may be adultish because her parents paid her down payment, but her kitchen is fucking ugly. SO THERE.

fun fact:

No correction needed, this is exactly what is happening :(

So, basically, they are attempting to blackmail the family into silence with the threat of releasing her name. I mean, that’s what it sounds like to me. Correct me if that’s wrong.

Thanks Aimee - good article. I’m a Pain physician, and would like to point out that I would love to offer adjunct treatments as you mentioned like “plans that involve therapy, anti-depressants, massage therapy, cognitive behavioral and physical therapy,” but even the best private insurance won’t cover most of these,…

Agreed.

We need more doctors that specialize in pain management. I have seen how difficult it is to not only obtain prescriptions but to keep getting refills from doctors who... are mostly inclined to think that there’s nothing wrong with you and that you just need a high. My boyfriend had a doctor who required a monthly drug…

I’ve seen it on Jezebel at least three times over the years. The only person I can specifically name as having said it is Jia Tolentino.

It wasn’t a criticism, it was an observation. I can recall seeing Jez writers/editors claim that, while Jez is directed toward woman, it is not a feminist website. If this is no longer the case and Jezebel now embraces ths “feminist” label I would be more than happy to stand/sit corrected.

“Can a feminist blog and the first female nominee really not have a serious, substantive discussion?”
