It was a different time. You may not know this, but in 2008, we didn’t really know it was wrong to kidnap and rape children. Just like we didn’t know it was wrong to beat women until 2014. It’s been a very busy decade for us becoming “woken” and stuff.

Well...as a dude

I read the thread, and I agree with a lot of things said by you here, and also everyone last night. I am really only posting here because I found it frustrating, there and AGAIN HERE RIGHT NOW, that there are STILL men posting comments like “I hope it’s not me!” and “maybe I’m a jerk sometimes but I try not to are you…

A thread last night ended up turning into a long conversation about the men commenters of Jez. And without being quite sure what to say or how to say it, and definitely without meaning to speak for anyone else, here goes:

I think he sprained a scarf.

Gunner Stone is a great name for a kid you want to grow up to be a white supremacist.

I’m going to defer to Calvin Trillin here.

Gunner Stone.

R I G H T? Actually, dumbfucks, he fits the profile of a mass shooter to a T, as they are almost exclusively white men.

LOL I have a worse one - on MeetMe, I got a message from this guy who had clearly copy-pasted his whole profile from the internet. It said he liked Virginia Woolf, so I asked him what his favorite work of Woolf’s was.

My 18 year old cousin uses her mom’s credit card (that her mom gave her) to take Ubers and pay for lunch or brunch with her friends at restaurants so they can practice for their post-college future in the city using their parent’s credit cards for brunch

That counselor is shit and needs to be disciplined. He sounds like every asshole since the seventies who insisted that I’ll magically develop baby rabies. Can people maybe desire a life less traveled without being brow-beaten into picket-fence pigeonholes? And then making assumptions about you to your kid? STFU and…

Why so snarky? I think it’s pretty cool that Weiss created ITG and Glossier and is such a success. I use some of their stuff - the stretch concealer is the best I ever tried, and I even tried Clé de Peau. Cosmetics is 75% marketing (just using a random figure here, you know what I mean) and she clearly knows what…

Every single thing about Glossier’s marketing screams Cool Girl ™ to me. It all seems geared towards being that Low Maintenance Cool Girl ™ that the boys just go crazy for. Maybe I’m not in their target audience, but it all rubs me the wrong way.

I’m not too concerned with it. The first reason is that the placebo effect is real: so if people want to believe that some pretty stickers are lessening their anxiety and they have the cash, let them at it.

I guess I shouldn’t judge, I read a fair amount of Anne Rice as a kid.

I know we will have to co-parent, regardless of the outcome, so we are both seeking counseling in order to work through issues to be better parents. I just don’t know what is right, or at least, what other people would do in a situation like this.

I read the headline and got really confused as to why she would keep it in during filming. Because even if you are dating the director, that seems excessively precautionary.

I am also without a best friend, but I’m becoming ok with it. Earlier this year my previous best friend up and decided she hated me, and that I had been a terrible, terrible friend to her (for reasons both illogical and out of the blue). She told me never to speak to her again... and now texts occasionally with…
