Ha, I instantly thought of Eva Green as well! That woman is definitely one of the most stunning human beings I’ve ever seen, just gorgeous in a totally unique way!

The worst ones are the poly peeps who tell you that monogamy is unnatural and that all monogamous people are basically just lying to themselves. Because SCIENCE! or whatever. Ugh.

Lol.

Not many. Good that we have clearly that up, cheers.

I daresay there are probably a million degrees between “moral purity” and “Hefner level depravity.”

But...but, don’t you know, he is the reason we women can dress the way we want today! Also, he gave money to legalise abortion - obviously this was all because he loved and respected women! He’s a legend and a hero of the women’s rights movement!

I am, but thanks for the valuable input.

Oh they looooooove pointing out that she is a lesbian! Because, you see, that totally negates all the vile things various members of the party have said against homosexuals, and the fact that they are both homophobic and anti-feminist/sexist! It’s like those people who say they can’t be racist because they have “a

God, that prayer describes how my dad handles any sort of argument or criticism so perfectly that I am yet again wondering if he isn’t a narcissist. Are there milder forms of narcissism?! Because he definitely isn’t as bad as some of the stories I hear from other people with narcissistic parents, but he absolutely is

I’ve been feeling pretty depressed about the outcome of the German general election last Sunday, but then I look to the US and feel almost privileged that we get another 4 years with Merkel. She has her flaws, but good Lord, this vile orange piece of human garbage is intolerable!

I can recommend the documentary Ivory Tower, which is sometimes a tad biased but still very good regarding the subject of student tuition and what it’s wasted on etc.

When it comes to academia, no country is better, and many are even worse. I was an underpaid adjunct faculty member in New Zealand and Germany, and I was screwed over in both countries. I have also heard that apparently Australia is even worse, with more and more regular uni jobs cut and/or replaced by semester-only

Yes, thank you! Kendra Wilkinson is a very, very good example, and of course Dorothy Stratten comes to mind. Men like Hefner are very, very good at sniffing out that type of insecure girl with a tragic backstory and daddy issues.

The second one was just insulting to the legacy of the show, especially when it comes to Samantha’s embarrassing story arc. Making her desperate, even hysterical to stay young and fuckable (MY HORMOOOOONESSSSS, SHRIEK!”) made a mockery out of the character she was, and I don’t blame Cattrall for not wanting to

The guy wasn’t just placed above her - he was placed UPSIDE DOWN in his coffin so that he would basically lie on top of her. So gross, that poor woman gets violated by sleazy old perverts even in death.

Free will, aided by “thigh-opening” quaaludes, lots of alcohol and cocaine. And the fact that once you went up to his bedroom there was no turning back anymore since you would be labelled a low-life skank for the rest of your days. People throw around the “hey, they were adults with free will” argument all the time

Fucking THANK you!

But he gave money to lots of good causes! He loved old Hollywood movies! He basically gave us women reproductive rights! He is the sole reason we women can dress the way we want today!... Some of the comments here make me want to quit Jezebel forever, barf.

I think you missed the last bit of that comment: “But choice in this case is also a tricky matter—he contributed to and shaped a culture that objectified women; this culture influenced women as well as men.”

“...in his mind, men treated women kindly, pampered them, and paid for them to look beautiful...”
