I’d say her take is more that women are dumb/childish, with a splash of crazy. It drives me nuts that she makes animal (maybe goat?) noises to make fun of the way women talk. And one of her jokes is that men put up with women because they want to have sex with them. What an original and hilarious joke, I’ve never…

She comes across as Dane Cook with Ovaries.

hasn’t her shtick always been “women be crazy”?

Dwight D. Eisenhower? I hardly know her!

“Two peanuts were walking down the strasse, Undt vun vas assulted.....

“I hate feminists who tell me I’m not doing enough as a feminist.” Uh, isn’t that literally what you’re doing when you say, “we want feminism to be a thing, but it’s really difficult when every woman makes the same point about her vagina, over and over”? Gahtdamn.

Patton’s sycophantic devotion to Eric and Lara Trump has been my go-to train wreck of choice for several months now. She. Loves. Those. Two. To an uncomfortable degree. When Eric and Lara Trump announced their pregnancy, Patton posted a rambling, emotional ode to them, and one portion caught my eye — “You both have…

I’m going to have to disagree here:

Not having seen it in decades, I remember it being a sweet, little old lady who uses it, and it was a comment on the pervasiveness of racism historically, as well as the shock of hearing it come out of her mouth. The context was pushback against racism, and the character was obviously intended to be despicable behind…

No, Mel Brooks makes fun of the Nazis, but he’s never made a Holocaust joke. He actually very publicly criticized doing that when he discussed Life is Beautiful. He doesn’t find much about the Holocaust funny. It also misunderstands why he mocks the Nazis (to rob them of their power; he thanked Hitler for making him…

Ice Cube, “I think it’s a lot of guys out there who cross the line ’cause they are a little too familiar, or they think they are too familiar,” he said. “Or it’s guys who might had a black girl friend or two who made them some Koolaide, so they think they can cross the line, but they can’t.”

Seriously!! The whole “Women be baby-crazy” narrative has never played out in my own life. Once all my male friends hit 27, they became very serious about finding a host, while my female friends of the same age were either ambivalent about kids or wanted to wait til their 30s.

I’m in my late 30s, married, and still ambivalent about children. I have spent a lot of time reading about where people get their ideas on female fertility while trying to figure out what to do. There’s really a lot of personal variation, as with everything, and a lot we don’t know, but a lot of the 35-is-it idea…

I feel like Ellen has walked this line very carefully. She’s made it clear that Trump isn’t welcome on her show but doesn’t belabor the point. She speaks up a few times each year when political issues become too hard to ignore.

Taylor Swift as played by Bruce Springsteen! It was a knock-off in the style of a knock off!

Miss Hazel and the Rosa Parks League by Jonathan Odell. A couple things: I did not read the whole book, because it bumped on me like another The Help (unconventional friendship! across the race divide! how amazing! how wonderful!), and that’s not my bag. I read some of it in preparation for the meeting, but not the…

Right? And when Dunst says that she’s 35 and eats fried chicken and hates working out, she doesn’t wanna lose weight, I was like, OMG IT ME. I just bought a pair of shorts a size bigger than anything I’ve ever bought before because I’m in my mid 30s, and the amount of effort it takes to make your body look like it did…

I think a large part of this is young people (<30) working at these orgs who are just used to grabbing images off of the internet and using them in various ways that just genuinely didn’t think through the fact that when you’re engaging in this kind of commercial behavior, you need to actually follow the rules.

As someone who lost their mom 8 months ago and is still crying every day alternately before or after my slowly deflating life-raft of a job, I really appreciate this [piece.
