That's true though about VS seeming just like the epitome of sexiness as a teenager.

Your original comment and then your subsequent comment to @all where you respond to your incredibly offensive and rape apologetic first comment by saying basically, 'evs! It could ALL be a big story! is also patronizing. So I wouldn't throw stones if I were you.

That's terrible for your friend. UGH. You see how prevalent this attitude is, with the original comment. Why do we require women to do themselves even further damage in order to "prove" non-consent?

Yep.

Just because a woman lays down or takes her pants off doesn't make it consensual. It could simply mean she's terrified for her life and is trying to minimize the physical damage she already knows she will suffer.

People who are interested and confused by the "pinned down" quote should read Poupak's whole account. She was there.

Actually E online posited earlier this week that Scott Disick was our Prince Harry. Making Kourtney Pippa I guess. Khloe is that little flower girl who was making a sulky face on the balcony. Seriously. These are things E actually wrote. And I actually read. The whole thing is just really embarrassing for me…

Not only what the previous commenter said but there were always rumors that that man actually won the whole show or came very close and it would be impossible for VH1 to cut him out. The Housewives show is much more amenable to editing out any particular person since they keep the story threads for each character…

I don't think she really understands that concept.

Me tooo!

Honestly though I have this reaction when I'm in the mall and I see a tank top priced higher than 14.99. So...

I've read pretty much everything she's written for Jezebel and some stuff she's written at Shapely Prose. I have not read the above. I'm sure you're correct! I still call myself a fan of her writing.

It's weird, I like someone's writing yet I do not have everything she has ever written or put in print memorized nor have I read everything she's written or listened to every word she has publicly spoken. It's almost as if I'm not an obsessive personality. Huh.

You know, I'm a big fan of Kate Harding but I have to say I don't exactly love how one of her initial responses was to concern-troll Jess Weiner's desire to lose more weight. That's her personal decision and just because she struggled with an ED in the past, doesn't mean she can't lose weight in a normal and healthy…

Bill Clinton is a master politician. Hillary is nowhere near his level in that regard. Not even close. I actually prefer her to him. I like her a lot better, I find her much more honest and way less slimy. But she is NO Bill Clinton just as a straight up and down politician. If she were in office in the 90s there is…

I agree with this. Plus if she had been nominated no way in HELL would McCain have picked Palin as his running mate, a move which a lot of people think help sink his campaign.

Oh beat me to it. People forget that Bill Clinton hardly had to worry about "negotiating" with a conservative Congress because he was too busy co-opting all their pet issues and passing them into law.

How exactly did Bill Clinton "rise to the occasion" by selling out his base during a boom economy? Welfare reform? That was a grand moment for progressive politics. Oh wait. Maybe you mean reversing the Glass-Steagall Act, an action which many cite as the beginning of the Wall Street meltdown that President Obama now…

If you say so. Congress is entrusted with an incredibly important power, the power to declare war. They literally hold thousands of lives in their hands. I hold them responsible. I hold Colin Powell responsible. That's their jobs. They're not supposed to just listen to a speech shrug their shoulders and say, well if…

Right? Also why are people forgetting she took the oh so progressive and left wing stance of voting in favor of the Iraq War? ETA: and The Patriot Act!!
