I was going to speculate on what kind of swimsuit he’ll be wearing before I remembered that there are different competitive suit styles for men.

This is fantastic. I am bothered by this comment however: “I can’t live inauthentically anymore,” Bailar said. “So do I give up my goal of being a great women’s swimmer to be a decent male swimmer at best? Yes. There is pride and glory in this path, too.” Women’s sports are not half-par. I wish people would stop…

Speaking from a career of selling photographs on behalf of photographers who regularly shoot famous people:

No, I’m not. And she’s not saying that either. And I also think that you know the difference between artistic rights to a concert, i.e. art and a football game, i.e. not art.

Would you call it a pilot program?

This is actually a French national initiative to curtail the rampant problem with snakes on planes.

I far prefer this to Snakes on a Plane.

That HANG IN THERE kitty poster IS REAL!

I think the cat handles it remarkably well. My cat still gets freaked out when I sneeze and we have lived together for 10 years.

Haha, someone on another article about this today was demanding that an OP “define harassment.” It’s like, hello, you don’t know what basic words mean but you want to participate in the discussion? If you’re not willing to engage with X material, then don’t engage the material, don’t signal your unwillingness to…

I like how they use pretend to be minorities and women as a shield against criticism of their racism and sexism using the hashtag “#NotYourShield.”

100% admission.

THIS. The contrast between “that’s not harassment, all you have to do is unplug your computer!” and “but they’re bullying us!” is just too rich. It’s like they can’t even hear their own words.

The lack of awareness in GG is kind of a funny/sad thing. I visited the gaming forum for a relatively new game a couple weeks ago to see if there were any guides/tips for the game. Literally a third of the threads were complaints about the high number of female models in the game (in actuality 13 of 37) and how this…

Also, GG say that women are too sensitive when they are doxxed and threatened with rape, but when they are mildly criticized by a TV show, it’s suddenly horrible? It’s pretty clear who are the wallowers in victimization.

It probably doesn’t. It just needs one loudmouth to watch and then rally the troops the second he feels the hurt tingle in his butt.

I really don’t believe that John Oliver’s show has such a large fanbase of pee-pants gamergate trolls.

So, let me get this straight...GG, according to itself, are not the ones who are harassing Wu and Sarkeesian. BUT when Oliver brings those women on to talk about their harassment and no one says Gamgergate, it’s still about Gamergate according to Gamergate.
