We HAVE to stop looking at people who are famously successful in their field as heroes. They are rarely if ever admirable people, they’re just regular assholes who are good at their job (Babs) or terrible people (MJ) who are good at their jobs.

I loved the bit about how the two founders, former tech industry workers with no healthcare background whatsoever, answered all the medical questions on the app for the first year.

Jesus, for all their “founder” talks about some vague endocrine issue she was having, it doesn’t seem like they can treat anything. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned with my host of endocrine-related lady problems, any naturopath, touchy-feeley fake healer is just going to tell me I need to be less fat, through…

“CONCIERGE CARE IS A SOLUTION OF THE RICH.”

When my friend finally realized her Lula Roe business was a scam that was how she cleared out a lot of her remaining inventory (of patterns that nobody wanted to actually buy).  Trust me she wasn’t mystery bagging solid black leggings or solid navy dresses. 

Reminder that when stuff like this says the products they’re dumping on you are “worth” x amount of money, they’re lying. If this stuff ended up in the garbage pile because no one wanted to spend $55 on it, it’s not worth $55. By definition!

Evans sincerely apologized, Renner gave the "I'm sorry if you were offended" non-apology, and then walked THAT back the next week.

Did you just write a 4,500 word story about how a young woman who has become a figurehead for the resistance for other young women once wrote some bitchy anonymous emails when she was 23?

Same reason that free college scares them. No one complains about the “free” education we get through HS, because a HS diploma really doesn’t get you very far these days. But add on those extra 4 years, which might allow the poors to have a chance, and everyone goes nuts because that financial advantage might be taken…

when rich people hear that we want everyone to get equal access to healthcare, they naturally assume that means they’ll have to suffer the way we do, because they know that their extreme wealth depends fundamentally on our poverty

She was young, but more importantly she controlled not one iota of the public narrative back then and was publicly excoriated to a degree most of us can only imagine in our darkest nightmares. How can you claim she is in “white woman victim mode” when the only things we heard about her for 20 years were from what…

Personally, I would give this leeway to anyone of any race at that age faced with an extremely wolfish, yet charismatic powerful older man.

Someone really needs to test the NDAs of Epstein’s pilots, flight crew and island staff.

Yes she did. She went to Oxford or Cambridge after getting a bachelor's. She has stated multiple times all the other jobs she applied for and didn't get.

I quit N.O.W. over it - that, and Paula Jones.  Either we’re for women or we’re not.  I voted for Clinton the first time, but that so many admirable women gave him a pass was disheartening.

Let’s also note that shitty Ken Starr got to go on and have a career that included writing a letter of recommendation for a confessed pedophile, representing Jeffrey Epstein - another sexual predator pedophile, and fostering an environment of sexual assault at Baylor and CNN is more than happy to have him on and get…

Not only in a position of power, man infamous for his charisma and womanizing. It would be very hard for most people, especially young and inexperienced ones, to put up resistance.

as the world finally catches up to the fact that she was a young intern who made a mistake was taken advantage of by an old white man in a position of power.

I really admire her. That’s not to say that what she did when she was 24 wasn’t wrong and a little dumb—but people are finally attuned to how ludicrously unbalanced the power dynamics were in the Clinton scandal. She is still the butt of SO many jokes. I wonder how many married men who’ve slept with their subordinates…
