‘Believe women’ is ‘believe all women’, otherwise it would be phrased something like ‘believe in the evidence’.

I actually agree with you on that, but I don’t really see it as #MeToo getting “comeuppance” (as much as its detractors will spin it that way) as much as recognizing the actual dynamics of abuse are more complicated than some of the rhetoric around it, and that (yes) we need to be careful about ascribing moral…

It’s kind of interesting how an allegation against a woman leads to a conversation about “cycles of violence.” Do you imagine you’d have started the same conversation had the alleged perpetrator here been a man?

I feel like I’ve been in different categories over time. In high school, was definitely anxious/avoidant. My early relationships, I was anxious (aka overly clingy). And now I feel somewhere between avoidant and secure, depending on the day.

Just a few things:

Well said. The only way for him to clear his name completely is to sue her, which she claims will force her to release the evidence.

It doesn’t surprise me one bit the Chris Hardwick is a terrible asshole to his partners.

“I made sure it was unembellished, factual, and that I had evidence to back it up in order to protect myself in case of ACTUAL litigation (not a network investigation, where I’m not protected). That is all.”

Her staking out some victimhood instead of just saying ‘no thanks’ makes her look worse than if she just had said ‘no thanks’.

Why are you conflating protesters with someone who purports to be interested in a good faith discussion? Protesters, whatever they are protesting, are not purporting to be interested in discussing the issue. For better or for worse, they are done discussing an issue. That’s why they are protesting. The people who go…

Ginger hair is weird. My husband was super ginger when he was younger, but now he’s an undercover ginger (brown hair on his head with red and brown body hair). I think it depends on the person as they age - some stay red, some go darker, and others go strawberry blond. ¿Quien sabe?

Yes, I do. Which is why I pointed it out.

Are you buffoons seriously going to argue that a privileged Asian Harvard graduate employed by the New York Time is only “punching up” when she celebrates the extinction of white people and brags about how much she enjoys “being cruel to old white men”?

Yeah, this whole incident is so weird because people are essentially fighting a proxy war: they’re arguing more over whether it’s possible to be racist against white people, and less about whether it’s OK to denigrate an entire race.

No? Right wing media is full of racist jokes about black people, Arabs, Latinos, and other groups but you or I wouldn’t think that’s ok. Why does Sarah Jeong get a pass for saying among other things that white people are like goblins only fit to live underground? Because she says she was responding to racist…

These “... Can Fuck Right Off” headlines are becoming lazy and fucking ponderous.

If a white athlete made a comment when he was 19 about blacks being loud in a movie theater you’d shit yourself and demand he be expelled from the sport. I’m liberal, voted for HC, and hate Trump. 

This whole stupid argument can be avoided by not using the word “racist.” Sarah Jeong is simply a bigot.

Sound yes, but also composition. If they don’t emulate what Rostam brought to the table (which, my guess is, is a lot) it’ll be a different band. Not necessarily a bad one, but from what I know from Rostam solo, there might be a whole lot of light playfulness, counter-intuitive originality missing/to be replaced.

I’m curious to see how it will sound without Rostam. After hearing his solo album and his album with Hamilton Leithauser it became clear how important he was to the sound of MVOTC.
