“I have access to a car, but it would be poor judgement to drive that car when I could use public transportation!” Is essentially what you just said.

With larger rings, the assumption was supposedly that you were more likely to ditch the job after the wedding because a woman with a rich husband was less likely to care about her career.

When I was job hunting a bit less than a decade ago, the “common wisdom” among my fellow interviewee ladies was also that you shouldn’t wear an engagement (or wedding) ring—but back then the reasoning was not that potential employers would assume you were high maintenance. Rather, the rumored thinking was that an…

While obviously it’s in our nature to make snap judgements about people, things like this are just so sickening to me. Looking at someone’s car, ring, watch, whatever may tell you something about their life, but that something very well could be - nay, likely is - wrong.

Can’t speak for Jujy but I certainly do. Bill is charming, intelligent, a great conversationalist, funny and appreciative of humor in others, loyal though not faithful (they are different things), well informed, fascinated by other people, and not least, always looks nicely groomed and as if he probably smells good.…

Why did Sesame Street send out a blank tweet?

I think most (maybe not all) feminists recognize that it’s possible to make good jokes about rape. It’s all about punching up versus punching down. The Reductress articles are perfect examples of rape jokes that punch up—the thing being made fun of is the perpetuators of rape culture, not the act of rape or victims of…

They can be funny, but like with all jokes it depends on on the delivery, the content and the comedian.

Rape jokes can absolutely be funny — and they can be pretty damned feminist, as well, as this article illustrates so neatly.

I think that the “men get raped” concept is useful. Not in a discussion like what Reductress is talking about, but because it broadens the conversation about rape in a valuable way. It has valence in terms of discussions about masculinity, and also empowers the male victims of assault (who are predominantly assaulted…

I mean, if he wanted the “big moment” of a public proposal, why didn’t he just propose after he won his medal last week? I’m sure she was in the arena for that. Then he could have had the public proposal (blech, but that’s just me) he wanted without stepping on his girlfriend’s medal moment. He could have chosen to…

Right? I would have been REAL PISSED.

This was exactly what I was thinking! Congrats but what an ass, get away from the podium and let girl have her moment!!

Cute, but he stole her thunder. I don’t know if I’d have been okay with him stealing my shine with a proposal. But she loves him I guess.

It’s odd to see so many replies—-on Jezebel of all places—-questioning the mother’s right to breastfeed wherever she damn well pleases.

I think she is allegedly not showing up on time due to confusing and contradictory instructions from Depp’s legal team, in a further effort to smear her as uncooperative.

And what does his behavior reflect?

On this very site, people were very loudly insisting that yelling and throwing things during a fight are not in any way abusive behavior. So, I can’t imagine what other sites comment sections are like.

I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.

So fucking depressing.

There’s also Steve Martin. He’s a wild and crazy guy.
