I’m speaking on the past apologies.  He said he apologized in the past.  Show me that.  Because that’s the crux of the issue.  He is half apologizing now bc it cost him a job.  Where was the actual remorse before this?  Just show me. 

The question I have, is when has he actually apologized? I’ve seen his comments on his past comments, but I haven’t actually seen “I’m sorry.” Can someone show me?

Those weren’t jokes, except to the extent you think ‘if my son ever plays with my daughter’s doll house I’ll break it over his head’ qualifies as a joke. I don’t think everybody who ever told a homophobic joke needs to be ‘in trouble’. Same goes for lots of other edgy comedy. But there’s no irony there. There’s no…

Thank you! This article paints a reality in which sex workers are empowered liberated women expressing artist talent. That is the VAST MINORITY. I don’t understand what type of feminism stands up for an industry that supports rampant objectification, abuse, and harm of women- many of whom are actually underage victims…

Yes, there are an awful lot of words in this article, and yet they never actually form the important point, which is the one that you make here: Anti-Semitism is evil and wrong, Farrakhan is and always has been a horrible anti-Semite, and Farrakhan should thus be condemned for that.

That’s not hard to do.  

I’m a feminist and I support reproductive rights and I don’t think that sex work, or prostitution, is an awesome career choice that we should all celebrate. No. No No. I’m in favor of whatever social services can make sex workers safe and preserve their health. I will advocate for all the girls and women who deal in…

Do try to keep up! The court order was not permanent. Now is the time that they hash out the due process violation. That’s what’s happening now. It’s pretty important, really, precedentwise.

I mean....maybe it’s the lawyer in me, but um. This seems kind of important, yeah?

Not to rain on your parade, but this sounds like sexual assault?

Shocked but not surprised.

People from other cities make fun of the rules on the DC Metro that prohibit food and drinks.  Imagine, though, if the above described party ended with a group of transit police officers handcuffing and frog marching the birthday girl and her friends off the train.  Come on, admit it.  You’d have cheered for the cops.

The gross part is how many “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” folks still think she is “a moderate”. I don’t fucking get it.

Exactly. She’s not claiming or expecting anything except to prove an asshole wrong. It’s really past time that Democrats/Progressives/Liberals stop being so nice and get our hands dirty and quit letting the lies and the craziness coming out of Republican mouths stand like it’s normal and we have to be “above the fray”…

Yeah, it’s stunning how quickly democrats will devour their own.

You have the correct take here and the commentariat at Splinter has lost their goddamn minds.

A little background:

No, he doesn’t.

Yeah, no.  We have all been 22 at some point in our lives.  I personally never dated, had sex, etc with any married man, my supervisor or not.  We do have to take responsibility for our own actions.  The sex was not a condition of Lewinsky’s (unpaid?) employment.  She was not harassed or coerced into it.  I do feel…

It’s fine to dislike Taylor Swift. I’m not a massive fan myself. I get it, you think Taylor Swift identifies mostly with white women, and you might be correct in this assumption. And for sure, white women have a LOT of work to do. But this is just the kind of self-righteous rant that divides us when we need to unite.

“The perfect” is still undefeated in its battle with “the good.”
