Ellie is another gem. Nice things for Ellie and BritBrit!

I’ve certainly heard stories of the reverse. People arrested for indecency of one kind or another and ending up in jail. These women I know, and honestly am not close to but know from my youth, are generally English and either married to Arabs or government executives. I think they are very much above the law but they…

No, I haven’t lived there. As I say I know a few women who regularly travel there, and are themselves extremely wealthy. They have told me many times about lavish home parties and the ease of procuring drugs, but these are millionaire women on shopping jaunts with even more wealthy friends in Dubai. I’m sure it’s a…

I was discussing this with a lawyer friend and I enjoy that catch 22. I didn’t realise how much his history could be raked over as prosecutor as opposed to defendant and the idea is most pleasing.

I don’t know any yacht girls but I do know women who just go there to shop and they get coke and weed out the yahoo just in the hotels from concierges etc. Laws in Dubai are for the poor.

Drugs are pretty dam easy to get in Dubai if you’re rich

Whenever I think of Lindsey Lohan I was think of her she was treated by Paris Hilton and her crew back and they were a big deal. Rich powerful kids calling her fire crotch and white trash, and a very obvious upset by all of that. I wonder how girl that never been to school or dealt with female socialising and the…

Has everyone been here? I feel like the last couple of weeks of revelations have deeply unsettled me. Flashbacs to my own life; noticing my interactions with aggressive man, either verbally or physically, to be an immediate urge to design a de-escalation; reflexively covering my breasts even reading the news. It’s…

You’re quite welcome. And please do feel free to come to me for support any time you like. Being harassed online is no joke and unfortunately people do have a tendency to minimise it. If you need to talk going to my comment history and reply to an old comment and we can talk there or if you are truly upset you can…

I’ve seen it, but with different cogs in motion. I do think running over the top of the women here and then taking his grievances to the root to play on those tensions is especially villainous, but Jez usually shakes itself free of this kind of fuckery. Kinja bullying is almost written into the code (I could tell you…

The derailing is unavoidable, unfortunately. It’s a shame Denton never added a chat function to Kinja. The polite thing to do would be to start the conversation afresh on someone’s Kinja blog, which is easily done, but I am not sure anyone really uses their own blogging platforms here anymore.

Boom

Mortal Dictata is currently my least favourite commenter. Every iteration of The Jez Commenatariat has one of these. Someone who is apparently on every article and in every thread, spammy as hell and full of smug condescension. But this one has a bullying edge that is both irksome and tiresome. I’m not at all…

No. In our culture, and in our justice system, rape has a very specific meaning and the meaning has consequence. This is a loaded word at the forefront of the current women’s rights movement. To dilute it and say it can be any kind of assault is dangerous and feckless just for the sake of a rhetorical argument about…

Yeah, there are a lot. I think it’s coming down bc it’s too big and it’s near the playground. Also, people hate it, and as I mentioned up the page the French are big on the will of the people overriding the will of institutions or government, so if people hate it enough it will be removed.

I can see how this work, in execution and position (ahem yourself) at the gallery might change what otherwise seemed conceptually fine. The article says its a 2015 piece, so presumably it was seen in extant but not in situ at the time of acceptance. This photo is taken from an elevated or aerial position. Maybe the…

The complaints about this are utterly, utterly bizarre. Putting regulations into the fashion industry to prevent unhealthy weight in young women is policing bodies now? Do people even think about the things they are saying anymore wrt women and bodies? It’s like dolls with draw strings coming out the back. Pull the…

This may sound a little trite, and I certainly don’t mean it to, but it seems to me that guns hold a similar fascination for adults that the idea of a magic wand holds for kids. It seems we as a species just enjoy the idea of turning our hands into powerful engines of action. Like when you want the lights to change,…

Nobody says warm condolences. It’s not an expression. There’s deepest condolences, and warmest regards. In fact, if you google warmest condolences it is JUST people going “who the hell says that?”
