Are you saying that a 16-year-old girl has to tell her 28-year-old boss to back off or else he did nothing wrong? Because, come on. Depending on the state, the age of consent laws were already telling him to back off.

If only there was a sub blog on Jezebel where you could share terrible restaurant stories... Oh wait there was one, but they decided women didn’t like that sort of thing. I’m not bitter at all.

Fair enough, details then. Firstly, he was in a position of power over this girl, already creating a power dynamic incentivizing her to not say no, lest she worry about her job. Secondly, this kind of thing was hugely frowned upon at the job. Management did not date crew. Thirdly, this was a guy in his 30’s waiting…

I still need to talk about this: the current changes in Gawker Media, the firings and the closing of sub-blogs like Millihelen, The Vane and Kitchenette are still on my mind. Also, that post on the treatment of women by GM really left a bitter taste in my mouth. I really like this place, have liked it since its…

Sorry but I can’t handle people like that. These terrorists are killing their fellow Muslims as well (see Beirut and elsewhere in the Middle East) - they don’t discriminate with who they kill.

1. Korea: It’s official government policy to not call terrorism terrorism in South Korea, due to fear of civil unrest and empowering North Korea. It does happen, but they rarely if ever call it that. Example: In 1999, attempted assassination of the president of South Korea by bomb that killed 17 people.

I’mm just really glad that the unwashed taint of the country can come together and ride the coattails of the dead and wounded to further a political agenda. Making that point lowers you to level of the scum that carried this attack out.

THAT CHILD IS SUPPORTING A WAR ON CHRISTMAS OR SOMETHING.

Damn you. I was happily reading from my tablet (which I don’t log into kinja with) and then I read this. You made me get out of bed and go to my computer so I can star your comment. :D
