Okay. To understand my point, read Melville’s “Moby Dick.” Let’s meet back here in 4-6 weeks.

So now the “obvious” take is the bad one? Also, I never get tired of this attitude that we should WANT the court of public opinion to be knee-jerk and not thoughtful. No one’s “excusing” any of this behavior, and let’s stop pretending like if a woman made this same reasonable point—that there are gradations of…
“Pinhead”? It’s called zika, and I’m a little sensitive about it.
So the alternative is to say “forget specific circumstances, all of these men are equally terrible, and should never be heard from again?” I’m so sick of people getting flamed specifically for giving a thoughtful, careful answer instead of the “correct” quick, thoughtless one that paints with a broad brush.
Singling out Jezebel (which I did too) makes it easy to be dismissed as sexist, but the thing is, all of the GMG sites seem to be trending that way. It’s getting hard to remember that Deadspin was, at one point, known for being irreverent and funny, and not the wagging finger of sports on the internet.
Starring Dustin Hoffman, apparently.
Because he said that not every instance of “sexual misconduct” is the same, and nuance should be applied? Show me anyone who would disagree with that.
What is “The Point”? Genuine question, since somehow, “sexual harassment exists on a continuum” is apparently the wrong take.
If you’re going to write something dumb and mean-spirited, at least get the details right.
Don’t disagree, but if Jezebel were around when the Bush daughters were First Children...you think they’d have the same outlook?
I have no dog in this fight, but Kesha has talked a lot about how supportive Taylor Swift has been for her, both monetarily and intangibly.
So? Beyonce waited years before flashing a big “FEMINISM” billboard at a show, and every woman in the Jezebel demo had a collective orgasm over it.
Explain to me again why this is the one 30+-year age gap that isn’t maligned on Jezebel as “creepy” and “icky” and “weird”?
What I like about this joke is how fresh it is.
Say something about how white people are terrible. GMG policy.
But we’re going to solve it here. Today. In the comments section of this Saturday Night Live episode.
Wasn’t thrilled with Franco’s laughing here, although I can’t help but wonder why Ryan Gosling’s much more frequent breaking (throughout TWO EPISODES) kept getting called “adorable” while Franco here is “unfocused.”
$265 million. Hardly a little less. I think the jury’s still out on how Jeter will do as owner, but they needed to dump a lot of money. They did.
The Times would appear to disagree.
How does GMG not have a single article on the fact that Beverly Young, Roy Moore’s accuser, wrote part of that yearbook inscription? At least try not to be partisan hacks.
