As a an avowed Trixie obsessive, I definitely could't handle Betty's assholery during Kim Chi's personal message from Trixie. There wasn't anything funny or entertaining about what she was saying (oh wow, someone who doesn't get Trixie's look? Sorry we can't all look like "what people thought edgy looked like in the…

I am as socially liberal as anyone, I am often racked with white guilt, and really do try to stay conscious and "woke" about things. And I believe that there have been many legitimate discussions in pop culture recently about appropriation and privilege that are important. But this review was not that. If anyone did…

I don't know why I'm defending this book so much, it really was just an easy read on a plane, but it wasn't just Aziz going to Japan and writing about what he saw; the book is co-written with a sociologist and there is more research in it than maybe you would expect. I'm not claiming that the book could possibly…

Did you read Modern Romance? Because there is a whole chapter about how young Japanese men are not seeking sex or even relationships in pretty huge numbers these days so I thought it was a nod to that. It would be weird for them to go the old shitty stereotype route since they have portrayed Yoshi as a very desirable…

Come on, just because he's depressed (is it clinical, do we know? Or is he just a sad sack?) doesn't mean he becomes a child and can't hear a name. They need to have a discussion about what happened which might include the name of the person she slept with. Which was that he was so negative and neglectful emotionally…

While it could be argued that songs are misogynist, I don't think a list of such songs is. I'm a huge fan of hers but it cannot be denied that she's pissed a lot of people off and there's enough songs probably about her to populate such a list.

It didn't seem that out of the ordinary to me but she did seem to really drag it out, I do think she was purposely trying to make Hannah uncomfortable because she was pissed she didn't finish the job and she's clearly kind of a bitch with a power trip.

And it echoed another terrible bathing suit, that green string bikini from Beach House where she insisted on wearing it around town but then wasn't allowed to go in the store. She just really wants to wear those terrible suits in all kinds of inappropriate locations!

While it did seem like a pretty quick change from loving Japan to hating it, I did think that hanging out with an American was what really made her able to admit she wasn't as happy as she was pretending plus the reality that Yoshi is a virgin I think made it just that much more stark the differences between Japan and…

I don't think there's anything really provocative about the scene other than the slight suggestion that yeah, women can be sexually pushy in a yucky way, too. But Hannah hooking up with a girl? There's not even a hint of that being considered edgy in her world. But she did cheat on her boyfriend and it ended terribly…

I do wonder if they are going to make it where Adam's sincerity and authenticity is going to rub off on a sober Jessa and help make her an approximation of a function human being or if he is going to go back to being her old self and make Adam realize that he got taken for and that he can't treat other people as fully…

Can't it be both? She knows her body sometimes looks "ugly" (although it's a pretty culturally conditioned idea that the presence of fat is ugly) in a way that's funny. I think she also thinks sometimes it's beautiful. It was just accepted that the yoga instructor was still going to want to hook up with her, even with…

Definitely a thing. And while i wouldn't be as offended by the whole pictures of ex's thing (I have a deal where I can be jealous but it also turns me on at the same time, so balances out) BUT his reaction was where he showed his real dickishness. Just because he thinks it's nbd he really does need to consider her…

Ug I can only imagine how suffocating it would be to do that in a sauna. I got claustrophobic just watching it! I was never a big fan of cunnilingus in the first place but doing while I'm sweaty, while she's sweaty? No thanks!

Even though it feels very contrived to put them together, I am finding it pretty watchable and interesting. I feel like the money offer was supposed to be seen as both romantic and a terrible idea (kind of like when Adam went running to help Hannah whatever season that was, it was very sweet but also felt doomed from…

I thought it seemed more authentic because she wasn't full-on all the time, I thought it sounded really cool even if it had been the choice of the actress if she wasn't really Scottish to only go hard on it on some words (which is exactly how accents can work, my southern accent only comes out on certain words.)

While Hillary being there doesn't bother me -she was a popular New York politician and she is sort of an "easy" idol for their whoman worship (trying to write it the way Ilana would say it) - but the slo mo, very impressed by a powerful woman scene was too similar to her reaction to the "fal-aw-less bish" boss.

If you just think of it not as electioneering and just a cameo by a powerful woman who Abbi and Ilana think is cool (because they are not super well informed and/or they just have the utmost respect for powerful women regardless of their politics) then it shouldn't bother you too much. Unless you think Hillary is an…

It also looks like Ilana had a different wig with her helmet this time, it was blonde!

They are impressed with Clinton in the way they love boss bitches, just like Ilana and the investor lady a couple episodes back. I'm don't feel strongly about either candidate but I'm sure would be excited to meet someone who has a pretty good shot to be the first female president. The way I look at it: We are meant…
