Must it be sexism by men in order to be considered? Society purports a vested interest in raising future generations; were maternity and paternity leaves equally allotted and paid; and were child care universal and affordable, it would not be one parent who might have to choose to leave his/her career stream in order…

Mentally adding “...but in a good way.” to all horrible news I read this week.

Thank you! People seem to be missing this aspect of the situation pretty routinely!

Trump will lie no matter what you do (like how he says he won by a landslide and that the murder rate is the highest it’s ever been), so I wouldn’t worry about his tweets.

Oh, for sure. NBC’s political journalism operation should be loaded into a rocket and launched into the sun (with Chuck Todd strapped to the nose). I would just let Katy Tur stay on the tarmac with Rachel Maddow.

Look, before we talk about the factors that might lead to white criminality, I think we need to talk about white-on-white crime. Why are white people not condemning their own when they are also victims? Where is the outrage about that, hmmm?

Oh, man, shoulda name-checked Fahrenthold/WaPo. It delights me to no end that Trump’s soon-to-be local paper sees right through him and is. not. having. it. Every other OpEd can be summed up as “this fuckin’ guy...”

He is obviously just going to keep doing whatever he wants until he is somehow forced to stop. Let’s see if anyone in the government grows some fucking ovaries and puts their foot down. It will be worth so much to see the legendary tantrum that will result.

Absolutely. The “girl squad” she developed with Heather and Valencia is making it happen for me this season. Valencia is her own animal as well, but on a different level, so watching her mature is exciting as well.

Yes! The trick is to call characters on their crap. A major problem with many dramas is they refuse to do this with their characters, so the viewers gradually come to hate the main character, who does endlessly crappy things but has other characters rhapsodize about how great they are, or just immediately forgive…

Teen Vogue has been killing it with the hard news around this election, frankly. I almost want to get a subscription just to encourage them.

That’s sort of how I felt. I’m gay and while it was nice to see an LGBT themed movie outside of like New Queer Cinema that wasn’t complete trash, I thought Brokeback Mountain was overwrought and overrated. It’s just so nakedly Oscar-baity.

She engaged with me here on multiple occasions. Very well.

I got internally huffy when I read her remarks in Shrill, but then I remembered what sort of comments used to show up on her posts. In fact, you can go back and look at them. I really can’t blame her. When I read student reviews, for example, the ones that really stick with me are the awful, nasty ones—the ones that…

How long have you been carrying that chip on your shoulder? It seems heavy.

ME TOO. Have you read Shrill? It’s so great.

I use money to buy things. Can I run a bank do you think?

I wrote somewhere else in the discussions but that is definitely part of the issues with the show (and don’t get me wrong I loved it, but it is my personality to pick things apart) is that I think ASP probably kept a lot froM her original season 7 plan so a lot of the Rory plot makes sense...if you are 22. Same with…
