I’ve quickly learned (from Captain Awkward: go there right now if you’ve never been, I have grown so much as a person and a “bitch) that having a “script” of responses takes a lot of the pressure off. Next time potential FIL says something racist, look him in the eye, let the silence become just a bit uncomfortable,

I remember thinking this about Megyn Kelly when she decided to speak up for maternity leave and her attitude is exactly what’s wrong with many conservatives:

I have never understood why our society feels the need to cover womens’ nipples. It seems so silly that those stupid black bars can take an image from obscene to acceptable.

Now playing

To everyone claiming that this is a silly discussion because everyone pays taxes, this was only five years ago. People don’t care that everyone pays sales tax, what matters is perception and how our language plays into that. Public money is the collective. If you accept taxpayers have a right to have their money spent

So all the evidence point to him but because the firefighters might have heard her say another name WHILE SHE WAS ON FIRE, he’s aquitted? How can those jurors sleep at night? That name could be anything, she could have remembered a tv show or the kid sitting next to her in first grade. She probably wasn’t thinking

Except the fact they are legal, and have documents doesn’t mean border patrol won’t shoot them on accident or throw them in prison for an undetermined amount of time while they get to paper work. Have you not been paying attention to how brown people are treated in this country?

Well, on average, Border Patrol staff aren’t exactly known for being sympathetic to immigrants and Rusty is probably right ‘enough’ for them.

You raise a great point. When I read that HW was only the second person ever banned, I thought for sure the other one must have been Polanski. I was wrong. It’s this guy,

He seems to be the sacrifice those in entertainment power are using to appease the masses. I am hoping everyone else who is a rapey motherfucker is terrified they’re next. But I doubt it, as most think it’s a job perk and a right and that they are insulated in some way from repercussions. I’d love to see the whole

Exactly! I am not at all satisfied that Hollywood will be able to dust their hands off and say the problem is solved by ostracizing Harvey Weinstein. We all know there are far more predators in the film business because they’re in every business. Studio executives will have to actually take harassment allegations

I think we are supposed to gird ourselves for the 112 theories on how Hillary did it.

Did you see It Follows? That one creeped me out a lot, even on a repeat viewing.

Well, that makes sense, since it’s usually my go-to example when I tell people that I find thrillers rooted in realism much scarier than supernatural-based ones. ;)

Oliver Stone was my next door neighbor for a short while. I was in the alley playing basketball with his son, when he and a friend came outside. He and his friend (both adult men) then informed me that girls couldn’t play sports, etc. and basically berated me for being a woman. I was 12.

a. If life begins at conception, can I move my birthday 9 months earlier? That’ll let me retire sooner.

Good. Working at Fox News SHOULD affect your career.

Also “use your indoor voice”.

The only times I hear “Don’t make a scene” is from a man to a woman, and from a parent to their child. That speaks volumes.

Women have options we have to try (very expensively) until we finally hit on the perfect hormone mix / iud / etc. Sometimes taking YEARS and lots of side effects along the way. Guys can try like 20 brands in a few weeks, and be out $20, no side effects, and they still complain.

I’ve seen Rob and FKA around bars in Brooklyn a few times. They always seemed pretty low-key and like they genuinely were into each other. They were a cool couple, bummed they didn’t work out.
