The first season was so relentlessly depressing I had to take mid-episode breaks

In general, I would agree with you. But I’m willing to bet this woman has made some shitty comments to this “friend” in the past, and he or she probably saw a good opportunity to shut her up.

Shut up Tom Ford!

Can you imagine simply... not sharing your opinion, Neeson and countless others? Does the concept of just shutting the fuck up for a while shock you?

I’m not sure what your issue is with Babe.net. They aren’t a Russian porn site or anything, they are a website that has been up for a few years with an emphasis on girls and young women. Their readership is in the millions. I mean, what are you claiming is more legit? Jezebel? According to the editor, this is what…

I would like to see restorative justice pick up momentum. It’s hard to summarize, because the characteristics of it change from place to place, but the main principle is that the people most affected by the crime work towards a resolution, with an examination of the factors that led to the criminal behavior, so that…

What matters a little less is whether what he did was “misconduct.” I’m leaning toward he’s kind of a pushy asshole, not a date-rapist.

They are not allies. They are terry takeovers. They drown. They smother.

This has been a continuous conversation for several months now. You can jump to defense if you want, but you have no context for the conversation so you’re adding nothing. Also, jujy is an attention whore who just always has to be there to flaunt his allies cred. On a site explicitly created for women, that’s annoying…

I think that, in the larger sense of the world, gender does dictate what people can do and where, and so when women carve out a little slice of the internet it would be nice if men didn’t take up quite so much space on it.

Yep! It’s pretty tiresome. And even when they have a good point to make, I promise if they wait five minutes a woman will come along and make it.

And, as ever, the top two comments are from men who comment early and on absolutely everything.

I respond fairly often because I’m, y’know, reading other parts of the site. io9, avclub, etc...
