Bullshit. He is politically pro-choice, regardless of his personal feelings. But you probably knew that already.

This comment needs a buttload of stars.

Benton heard the slap and saw Meryl charge into the hallway. We’re dead, he thought. The picture’s dead. She’s going to bring us up with the Screen Actors Guild. Instead, Meryl went on and acted the scene.

“Can’t wait until the election is over for two reasons: no more male liberal trolls mansplaining like their life depended upon it, and Donald Trump fades back into obscurity.”

What’s extra hilarious is that a lot of them are, at least in part, voting for Bernie because he is not a woman. But try to call one of them out on it, and YIKES.

“The woman was ‘negligent and careless and said negligence and carelessness contributed to and proximately caused the injuries and damages’ she is claiming, the filing states. Also, by not reporting her abuse to the school or police until 2014, she ‘consciously exposed other girls to the risk of abuse at Koetters’…

Perhaps, but it still says something about the 20-somethings that are cool with dating teenagers. No matter how mature the teens in question may be, there is something super sketchy about an adult dating a 15-year-old. And I think that’s the issue—not that the kids can’t ever handle it, but that it is very unlikely…

It’s probably a thing with kids of celebrities because older men dating much younger women has been not only normalized throughout their lives, but is often nearly all they’ve ever been exposed to first-hand. Hollywood is gross.

Crop his face out and you might have a point...

A lot of the hottest people I’ve met have been boring as fuck. I think maybe it has something to do with generally not needing to cultivate a personality to win people over if you’re gorgeous, because people will want to be around you regardless of what you say if you’re good-looking enough.

I think you’re misinterpreting the argument. No one is implying that lack of physical danger means that demeaning and disrespectful behavior “is of no consequence.” Nobody is implying that we are only “against” catcalling if it is directed toward women by men. What we are saying is that it’s apples and oranges. Rude…

No, but the threat of physical violence is what makes it not a double standard. If you poke a millimeter below the surface, these are not even truly analogous situations: a man getting catcalled alone on a dark street is not the same thing as a woman getting catcalled alone on a dark street. One can be disrespectful…

I highly doubt that the same women who have a problem with catcalling are also participating in catcalling. I think those are two separate groups of people. I don’t think I’ve ever met a self-identified feminist who would behave that way.

It is, and catcalling period isn’t a respectful way to communicate, but it isn’t a “double standard.” Calling it a double standard implies that it impacts men and women equally and in the same way, and it honestly just doesn’t.

I do think those particular wedding traditions are harmful on a mass scale and in historical context, and I do believe that they share the same misogynistic roots with our present-day obsession with the purity and sexual activity of young women. BUT—and this is a significant ‘but’—but a wedding that brings you joy is…

Fair, but there is a clear difference between personal experience and the broader cultural meaning of a tradition. For example, I love my last name and feel really connected to it and would never change it, mostly for lots of warm fuzzy familial reasons, but I can still see how the overall social practice of kids…

They can still see bear baiting if they come to Maine! A ballot measure to ban the practice was shot down by voters in 2014.

I live in Maine, and yup, if you exchange the word “was” for the word “is.” A proposed ban on bear baiting was shot down by a comfortable margin in 2014.

Ugh, that’s the worst. It reminds me of that scene in Mad Men when Peggy goes to get birth control and the doctor warns her that it isn’t license to have ALL THE SEX and says he’ll take the prescription away if she “abuses” it.

I’d rather he was killed very, very slowly in prison, but I’ll take what I can get...
