Women music journalists have been dealing with harassment from “just-joking!” male interview subjects men since the beginning of the craft time.

That’s exactly the kind of stuff that will stop if Bernie is president.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was NOT convincing the world that he didn’t exist, popular culture aside, but rather convincing me as a teenage girl that some day my skin would be flawless because I would grow out of having breakouts.

This was indeed a misstep on her part, in that candidates aren’t expected to show their exhaustion and frustration, but it’s not clear what the context of the exchange is.

Agreed. But with the majority of the conversation being hard to discern, hard to evaluate.

Agreed. Everyone else can dive for the Thin Mints, which are fine and all, but give me a box of Somoas and a box of Tagalongs and I’m a happy girl. Give me two and I’m ecstatic. Three and I’m bloated.

I actually don’t care so much abut the “trying to understand what happened with him,” angle, because unless rapists are born, not made, there is some kernel of interest there. To me, what I found so deeply offensive was that he DIDN’T do that, but substituted glorifying someone who he had so obviously admired (one…

Science. Go figure.

True. Other than saying at multiple points in time that mental health was a key issue, that she wanted to help remove the stigma attached, holding forums on the subject over the course of months, saying she’s going to work on policy solutions if she’s elected, she’s done absolutely nothing. Nothing, I say.

Debt collectors are the worst. I had one who called me for years - asking for a person who I assume at one point had my phone number. Years. Every time I answered and told him it was the wrong number he would get nasty, assume I was lying, and bully me. After a while, I let it go to voicemail, thinking that he’d at…

His family is worth $1 billion by some estimates. I'm guessing that ups the attraction factor for some.

Was he? I seem to recall a halfhearted “I’m sorry that people took offense,” kind of comment, followed by a lot of “but I have loads of Asian friends who told me they thought it was great,” justifications. He even said he “forgave” the people who thought it was racist. Up until then he defended it as funny and totally…

That. Is. Fucking. Terrifying.

I’ve never seen this movie. Is it worth watching in an “oh-my-God that’s terrible” way?

Oh, I know that, but because I’ve known this woman since we were 11 I also know that the grin-and-bear-it approach to marital infidelity is behavior she learned from her mother.

I have a friend from high school who has share an email account with her husband since day 1. On one level I get why she does that - because I know he has cheated on her and so does she. On the other...the false sense of security it gives her doesn’t make up for her own lack of privacy. He works outside the home. She…

Really? I can remember guys from college who thought I was a whore because I was pro-choice. (Circa 1988 or so - I don’t know what the numbers are, but I’d guess there were a lot fewer young pro-choice men then than there are these days. Shit, just writing that last part of the sentence and me 30 years)

You know, every time I read about how awful he was in college, I am struck by how many guys I knew in college that don’t sound to far off this mark. Maybe it was the 80's. I’m the same age as Cruz, and I feel like I spent half of my downtime in college avoiding guys who grew up worshipping Reagan and Alex P. Keaton.…

I for one am grateful to him. He’s brought our country together. In hatred for him, but it’s a unified hatred.

Do celebs not get asked that “did anyone else pack your bags” question when they check their luggage? Double standard. Now I’m glad the CIA framed her.
