“By making the choice to have sex, a woman is making a conscious decision to engage in an act that has the natural result of creating a pregnancy”

Seriously though can you imagine the collective scream from men if women genuinely took this advice? I would maybe have had sex once every three years, and now that I’m done having kids I guess my husband is done having sex! Forever! If men have a problem with it they can take it to Scott Lloyd. 

Having worked at a variety of web companies over the years, I would bet dollars to donuts that that the writers who work at the AV Club (you know, the ones we actually interact with) absolutely hate the ads, but have no power over them. The people who make decisions about ads do not write for the site and probably…

It wasn’t good because of the CW trying to meddle with the formula —two mysteries and handful of stand-alones instead of season-long mystery, an increase in product placement (they got rid of her LeBaron!), and they even cut the episode count.

Especially since they continuously beg you to turn off your ad blocker and the embedded tweets and videos in their stories only show the top half if you don’t.

This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

Sure, both Bond his costars need to have sex appeal, this isn’t news. But producers asking actresses to strip down in film tests when they didn’t think they would have to do that is more along the lines of what they’re talking about in the article. Even if they had given Rosamund Pike the heads up in an email and said…

Yup. This line really says it all to me: ‘“People know that she is very friendly and open and crosses traditional boundaries in relationships with her students,””

That’s because libertarianism as a philosophy isn’t any deeper than “Waahhh! Leave me alone!”

“If Donald Trump had not become president, I would tell you all the stories. But the stakes are now high and I am an unreliable narrator.”

...so the stakes are higher, therefore detailing how Trump is racist/homophobic/sexist is less important? God, looks like Penn’s libertarianism and tv show isn’t the only bullshitty…

Because, as she stated, she has no legal protections if she had decided to take part in it.

You know the movie The Mummy? I keep picturing the scene where Beni is going through all the different religious symbols before he becomes the Mummy's minion? I picture that every time I see Miller.

God I miss the old AV Club. You woulda been beat to shit in a quietly articulate fashion. Instead, you appear to have one upvote and goddamn I’m tired.

In his defense, he was a rich kid with a dad and a mom. Like, give me a break he tried to gouge out the eyes of a woman. There are a good number of Jezebel readers that have terrible parents and I doubt many of them have tried to gouge some eyes out.

In 2010, news.com.au reported that Newton was convicted for assaulting Satchwell in 2007, but that conviction was overthrown because “the judge found that he was a ‘gentleman’ who was unlikely to hit a woman again.”

Nobody is calling him Jimmy Saville, that man was a literal rapist and the devil incarnate. But it’s not great, and it’s worse because he’s Paul Walker. When it’s some middling dude with no prospects who winds up with a 16 year old because they’re impressionable and fall or an older man then while it is creepy and…

Maybe this is just me speaking for myself, but I think dating someone less than half your age is intrinsically creepy.

I thought Shakespeare In Love was the better movie honestly. Excellent writing, acting and directing all around. Saving Private Ryan is a couple jaw-dropping, genre redefining sequences strung together by an unremarkable script.

Marvel: ((makes ‘Black Panther’, a film that examines themes of colonialism, cultural isolationism, and the emotional issues that come with grief and mourning while finding out your parents have feet of clay)) ((gives amazing, meaty roles to women of color)) ((create a sumptuous visual palette that staggers the…

I was going to say his apology is better than most, but then I read the charges. Holy shit. Sometimes it’s more than just a substance abuse problem. I’ve been pretty hammered before and never abused women. It’s not hard. Just have another drink and get lost in the vibe, man.
