Thank you! I hate the way that people on jez talk about this. Like one of the first threads is about how all these young women must be having such bad sex. Like does no one respect the agency and consent of these women just because what? Leo is rich? And says douchy things? I mean please correct me if I’m wrong but he…

A friend of mine just got engaged today. Her boyfriend brought her a glass of wine and a pastry with a ring in it for breakfast. I thought it was brilliant. Who could say no after breakfast wine!

Soulless monster sounds right

What he said is horrible. But there is a pretty neat article about a university student reaching out to him about a year after it happened and talking to him about it. I really enjoyed reading it, and definitely don’t think I’d have been able to put in the emotional labour that guy did. Maybe I just have a low…

I was thinking the same thing

Yes! This is a great description of what I feel is happening. Ilana’s bad feminist shtick used to be my favourite and now that it’s just so in your face and over the top it’s lost what made it so funny to me.

Yep. Feminists who support Clinton and/or Albright seem to be able to excuse that shit way too easily

For the first minute of that hot dog song I thought maybe I could jam to it, but its too repetitive. But $2 hotdog $1 water was my meal of choice as a teenager, so I could see myself jamming to the first minute of this song while waiting for a $2 hotdog.

I did not know this! Thanks!

Ya I feel like “storm” needed to be defined better. Its illegal to not have snow tires where I went to university, and we had snowstorms all the time. The world would have grinded to a halt if we went by this measure. Obviously if the storm was unusual or especially severe that’s different, but a run of the mill snow…

I hope people reply with good info because these are really important questions

They never heard piss they just thought he hissed or made a weird sound. Which I guess makes sense if you didn’t know the story (like that the brain would sub in a word that makes more sense to it)

He had kind of disappeared until he did that gross song with Lady Gaga. I feel like that was a big part of his resurgence. And I think it’s been long enough that young people now don’t know his reputation.

I think people are too mean to the Miss Universe contestants, and that Steve Harvey is a jerkface who needs to go away.

i think part of the problem is that BPD has so many symptoms, and can be expressed in so many different ways that people just lump every bad thing they’ve ever heard associated with untreated personality disorders to a single person, regardless of what that person’s diagnosis is or if they’re getting treatment. so…

right? especially how it’s being used here.

Acknowledged as being totally in the wrong might be an overstatement unfortunately

I am so sick of personality disorders being the be all end all scapegoat. I have BPD, and it seems like one of the last mental illnesses people are totally cool with stigmatizing. Like I understand that people with personality disorders have all these symptoms and whatnot, but you can’t just throw BPD in to justify…

Not trying to be argumentative, but I genuinely don’t see the difference between what Perry said and what Gaga said. Doesn’t that quote just prove what Perry said to be true? That Diane had a completed song and Gaga just changed the lyrics a bit? To me the only difference is the tone in which it’s presented (Gaga and…

Yes thank you!! I was so confused/shocked when this song came out and everyone was fawning all over her for it. I feel like Lady Gaga just wanted to cash in on the public conversation about sexual assault. Until she uses her position to actually do something and apologizes for enabling such well known sexual predators…
