I really miss the time when Jezebel had whip smart analysis and real depth to its cultural commentary.

It is gross that she would get home after midnight and that the kid couldn’t go to sleep without her, and that she likely had no benefits. It seems like she was completely dehumanized before this horrible thing happened. It seems like she wanted to kill herself and then spare the kids the suffering of living without…

Because she does not work in a philosophy department or because she doesn’t interpret non-theological meanings and the fundamental nature of things?

“Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter scalped America bald when she gave the blackest performance Coachella has ever seen.” Except for when Prince riffed for 3 and a half hours straight, racking up fines in 2008.

Yeah. I am sure it is. That is cool you got to have that experience. Another thing I think about sometimes is how narratives are shaped by the people with money. A long time ago I worked on a movie about poor landless farmers that were part of a social movement. At some point, I realized there were people that were…

are you sure that is a bathroom? Could be an entryway or pantry

This is not technically appropriation.

\the amount of self control you need to become a sports star apparently disappears when you become one?

She is a science fiction writer and philosopher. It is literally her job to come up with aesthetic theories that interpret world events and link culture to politics. If you think this is an odd theory, you may never have actually read one of her books or listened to her speak about anything. Also, what would you like…

I am confused about who the you is and who the partner is in this scenario. Yes! I know it is a bit of a campaign on my part and I am not in the majority. However, I absolutely think lying and deceit are ways that people remove any form of “valid consent” to sexual intercourse.

I did read your comment. I don’t know in what context you were having these conversations or with whom specifically and what you and the other people were trying to achieve, so I can’t really say anything about that specifically. In general though, we talk about traditional peoples in ways that reduce agency. No one…

Rape equals sex without consent, forced either physically or by coercion. If someone is lying to you about one of the key components to your decision to have sex with them that is a form of rape. You are not having sex with that person with full and informed consent. It is absolutely violating and demeaning, robbing a…

Yes! But cheating is by definition abusive since you are taking away someone else’s agency in the process. It is a form of shittiness that directly undermines the other person’s agency.

How is cheating not abusive? To me it is tantamount to rape. A person is actively lying to another person in order to take advantage of their resources, emotional, physical, and emotional, and also have sex with them.

It absolutely is.

Not OP, but I hope we talk more about the devastating effects of cheating in the coming years. It can be devastating and pretty world shattering and affects people with lower incomes in different ways than those with higher incomes. The way we talk about cheating and just generally lying to women in order to get sex,…

I don’t understand how a book can be translated into 36 languages and not be financially viable. I thought it was a bestseller. Can you write an article explaining?

he gay

true lol

It is not about buying things that represent the culture. It is about who gets the money. If you have craftsman A that has labored as part of a long tradition of x. And then someone just comes in and swoops in and steals that style and craft and sells it off as their own and craftsman A makes nothing, that is a…
