Don’t Blame Me and Getaway Car are my favs, but I really enjoy the whole thing. Even Gorgeous and Look What You Made Me Do, which were questionable at best upon the first listen, have grown on me. And you best believe I am boosting like a fiend to score some tickets for tour!

I can’t remember the last time I bought a whole album (ETA yes I can, Hozier in 2014), but I love this one. I actually just went on a 20 hour road trip all over TN for work and came back capable of ranking the entire album;

Love it. Zero shame. Don’t Blame Me on repeat.

I pre-ordered it and have been playing it on repeat all week. I love it!

You’re literally admitting Jezebel informed you of an incident of rape you otherwise wouldn’t have known about and yet you’re accusing them of not caring.

No, he’s miming grabbing her breasts. It’s gross, but it’s not assault.

Thank you! Immediate calls for resignation because of one incident that we do not have all of the details about is ridiculous. He’s not even touching her body in the photo, there’s kevlar and a two-inch plate between his fingertips and her actual boobs.

Can we at least bear in mind that the accuser is a Hannity disciple and the “journalist” in the linked tweet works for the Washington Examiner and uses a photo of herself with Trump on her Twitter feed?

But what does accountable mean in this particular instance? This is gross behavior, it is absolutely an example of toxic masculinity/boys club/patriarchy, but it also doesn’t seem egregious enough for him to resign over.

I agree with what you said, and im all for holding someone accountable, but...it doesnt look like he’s touching her in that photo. Childish? Yes? A little pervy? Yes. But we cant keep painting these scenarios with the same brush. And really, the #metoo tag? Id be embarrassed to lump myself in with people who had been…

It would be hard on your real-life significant other to hear/read interviews though. Probably tough enough to support your spouse’s career by cheering for them week after week as they pretend to be ‘married’ to someone else, but to have them confirm that even a part of that romance is real? That would suck.

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

I’m also barefoot under my desk and within my own office. I put my shoes on if I have to venture out of my office. This has been a pretty common thing among my coworkers, male and female, everywhere I’ve worked. It’s not unusual to see someone pull their shoes on under the desk really quickly if they get called away…

I think some people forget that the people wear their shoes outside! and then in the office! and in the bathroom! and in the kitchen! I mean, if this lady is barefoot, she’s presumably not barefoot outside and so she’s not tracking in outside dirt. Haha. That said, no one wants to see her feet.

Germany, also (at least in the East German city where I live). The only way we can tell that it’s spring is because the hippies are *hey presto* shoeless, and it’s never indoors - always outdoors across the filthy sidewalks lined with cigarette butts and loogies and dog shit. Those same people are almost always white…

I agree. Sometimes you can’t control your environment and as adults we all need to be able to deal with that. I agree that it’s gross— who knows what nastiness is on the floor, especially in the bathroom! But how does it affect anyone except the barefoot woman? If this isn’t causing business problems (e.g., clients…

i don’t understand why the barefeet bother this person so much. they are not your feet, she isn’t putting her feet on you - just look away and think to yourself “what a gross asshole” and let it go.

Buying the lady slippers would be so weird. And she would probably find it incredibly rude. I doubt barefoot coworker’s issue is lack of access to appropriate footwear.

I don’t get being perturbed by someone else’s bare feet in an office setting, assuming they don’t stink. Just like...don’t look at her feet? I spend 95% of my time already not looking at people’s feet, so why not make it an even 100%, you know?

Please don’t do this. The problem is institutionalized coercion, fear, and excessive respect of authority, not the gender or age of the abusers.
