I already mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but I’ll say it again because I think it’s such an excellent point.
I had a vegetarian friend point out that people who have special diets for whatever reason are already used to the work of that diet, and almost always already have an accommodation worked out in their…

I think non-vegans can eat vegan not only without caring, but without knowing. But everybody’s gonna know if you pull out mystery-not-meat products.
As a vegetarian friend once pointed out, sure it’s inclusive to make a dish or two specifically for your vegetarian/vegan/gluten free friend. It’s also inclusive to…

I understand that some vegans probably long for foods similar to what they ate in their animal consumption days. That’s fine. But do they need other people to serve fake meat to them? Particularly at a gathering where some people imbibe and some don’t, serving up fake meat just seems like a way for the host to pat…

Go on, keep telling us women won’t be prosecuted if abortion is outlawed.

This was my first thought. You have thousands of untested rape kits, but you’re checking this DNA pronto just to make sure the woman is ok?

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.

Just another day in Gilead County, Georgia.

Right?! They just want to charge her with murder if she self-aborted or even if she had a miscarriage—that’s why it’s important to know if the baby took a breath.

Maybe they should keep focusing on their huge backlog of rape kits before dedicating resources and manpower to this weird ass minority report bullshit.

You want to figure out how the fetus died? It was 20 weeks and not at a hospital. No fetus is surviving that, even if it was “alive” when it was delivered.

If she got an infection or “bled out,” I highly doubt she’s still with us after all these months. But it’s nice that he cares. (ha.)

Oh sure, they just want to find the woman to help her.

I don’t care what anyone says - there’s no way I’d tip 20% on that. And don’t give me the “it’s not necessarily the waitstaff’s fault” bull. They are the customer service interface. It’s their job to make sure stuff like that doesn’t happen. Or at minimum, to not bullshit you. I’ve had waiters screw up. And they…

it’s not on theme at all. agree: frumpy. if she really wants to come back she could have tried to create something really a. special / sexy and b. use the theme. she’s kind of over the top as a designer, she could have embraced the theme better. and would have been wise to like, invest in that for her business. missed…

The thing I honestly keep coming back to in all of this - and it’s a question that may never be answered - is, are women not buying or wearing her clothes because they don’t want to be associated with Marchesa or because there is no longer an ax over their head telling them they have to?

She’s not responsible for Harvey’s behavior. However, I find it difficult to accept her innocent view of her “happy” marriage. Harvey was a man with few redeeming qualities. He was a notorious bully and an asshole. I have a hard time believing she didn’t know he was forcing actresses to wear her designs. I assume one…

Point taken. Then I am thinking, surely a used O. B. tampon has SOMETHING in common with the Catholic Church?

Women don’t have to support other women when there’s a good reason not to. I don’t work in Hollywood and come from the Midwest yet even I knew about his reputation. She’s not responsible for his behavior, but she is complicit. There are women serving jail time because their boyfriends were involved in criminal…

If she could do that, if she could explain herself, if she could apologize for profiting off her husband’s abuse and controlling behavior, I think she’d get way more sympathy in the public eye.

It is sort of hard to care about what Georgina Chapman has to say about this, because it is hard to imagine she was with Weinstein for any noble purposes in the first place. Her marriage was a business arrangement; he had access to stars, and she had clothing for them to be seen in. She stuck with him right up until…

Hm. I don’t know. This dress kind of reminds me of a tampon.
