I thought the last 10 months would have been sufficient warning about the dangers of replacing a competent black man with an inexperienced and unqualified white guy, but here we are again.

Goodell’s entire career has been the result of people confusing correlation with causation.

After the plot point in Master of None where Aziz Ansari’s character drops a dear friend after allegations of sexual misconduct, and the show goes through great lengths to show this as the right move, it’s kinda fucked up that Aziz Ansari is still with the same manager who covered up a history of assault.

The Swedish Chef felt me up.

Starts without asking while person is unconscious. That is the bad part. The More You Know!

How about we not agree “this is no big deal”. Don’t whip your penis out at work! She said she felt that she had to say yes to keep her job. That’s not consent. That’s not her saying she actually wanted to see a gross man masturbate in front of them. That’s someone reacting in fear, and he knew and took advantage of…

I’m glad I’m gray on this site so I can point out that you’re full of shit, sour shit which has clearly filled you right to your fingertips, where it is spilling out onto your keys. Her longstanding working relationship with CK is clear, and clearly laid out in the article. The statement was released via their mutual…

Apparently not, and that’s precisely the problem.

You may be the only one who considers that a joke.

Kinja won’t let me edit. I should say by “grief” I mean a lot of replies were abusive towards me, really shitty name calling. I get that people are allowed to disagree (it happens here:) with a comment but I wasn’t used to that kind of vitriol. It was weird.

I know this has been mentioned and written about (the Anna Merlan/Madeleine Davis “On Rumors” post yesterday was fantastic), but I still remember the avalanche of protest from his fans when these “rumors” surfaced on gawker and then the subsequent posts on Jezebel. I get occasional (and sometimes deserved) shit from…

The pervasive assumption that we weren’t talking to victims who preferred to stay anonymous and doing the legwork behind the scenes while the above piece details all of the women Anna had been communicating with is very strange, but also not surprising.

I can absolutely understand the issues many commenters had with Jezebel’s approach. It really isn’t how the whole well-worn, ‘put the work in and then publish’ style of journalism goes, and for good reason. Yellow journalism remains a scourge on society. So people leery of Jez possibly falling to that were justified…

Ban white men from doing anything.

It’s pretty simple. Lots of men are really, really proud of their (sadly, actually unique) ability to understand that patriarchy is real, and does hurt both men and women in discrete ways. They get these concepts as abstracts, but they fail to overcome their own socialization and apply this knowledge to their day to…

Damn appropriate.

Compensating for a lack of the popular vote?

Thank you for the post. Jezebel pursued an open secret story inside of an industry that’s incredibly male dominated and where misogynist views (women aren’t and can’t be funny) still exist. The nature of CK’s comedy added icky complexity to the endeavor. Strong CK defenders (outside the comedy world) are to CK what…

Yeah, sure, calling someone a woman is so offensive.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’ve been more aware of this stuff lately, too—a couple of weeks ago, I went with a friend to a diner, and as I was leaving, the line cook pulled me into a hug and hug-walked me outside, all while asking for my number and if we could go on a date. It was SO uncomfortable. I laughed…
