I’m so furious she (was made) to apologize. Now I kind of want her to leave TBS. Can HBO pick her up and have her follow Jon Oliver? I’d renew my HBO subscription for that.

Messy hair is not the same as neglect. All photo evidence from my childhood indicates that I had perpetually messy hair despite my mother’s attempts to braid it every morning. Furthermore, if a teacher has reason to suspect REAL neglect (not just the casually racist assumptions where people equate every imperfection…

To be fair, this whole incident escalated due to a few missed periods.

No pregnant pauses in this one-breath report.

Wow. Never in the history of movies has one looked like such a disgusting, self-aggrandizing love letter to its own megacorp.

I’m still gonna fucking watch it because I am Disney’s bitch.

The part about the girl’s boyfriend is heartbreaking. The fact that he would believe she cheated on him before he would believe she was attacked is so fucked up. Come on guys. Get the fuck over yourselves and be there for your women.

I was horrified by the way they all talked over her.

i’ve had so many conversations with men since last fall about men’s toxic behavior only to be met with more toxic masculinity (most unintentional... let’s hope, but there regardless) from the men in my life that i trust and love. this fucks me up.

I missed this audio clip the first time I read this excellent article.

Oh Jessica, you don’t have to let it go if you don’t want to. Fuck them all.

Jesus!

Bless Alia Shawkat for being the voice of reason in this sea of bullshit even though they only quoted her FUCKING TWICE in that entire shit show

I am SO glad they included the audio in the NYT article. People need to HEAR how the men in the room COMPLETELY disregarded everything she had to say about it

Why bring her no rapping ass on stage in the first place?

That’s why people read that Cat Person story in the New Yorker so obsessively. Similar litmus test—which of them was the terrible person? (For what it’s worth, I say both, in the case of that particular short story.)

It was not treated as the equivalent to a violent crime. I think the victim as well as the majority of people reading the article made that distinction.

when my mother told her aunt about the sexual abuse she was experiencing, my great aunt said, “oh, these things happen”.

I agree with Retta’s assessment. But I think Jane’s decision to run the piece shouldn’t be questioned by the likes of gawker media after the whole hulk hogan thing. Press is gonna run salacious stories. I think the Aziz story was more “salacious” / less “me too.” Does it sound like he acted in a disappointing way?…
