While your outrage is understandable, your framing is problematic - the board should care about HW’s victims NOT because the board members have wives/sisters/daughters/mother’s, but because those victims are PEOPLE. I am a person (also a wife, mother, daughter, sister, etc) but it is MY PERSONHOOD that matters, not…

None of the humans in their lives are women. Or, to put it another way, there are plenty of women and girls in the lives of these men, but they don’t see them as fellow human beings, but as decorative playthings, as set dressings, to complete their images of themselves as “family men.”

Did you notice, though, that before he said women were “sacred” and “looked upon with honor,” he said he remembered when certain things were sacred? John Kelly thinks we’re things. John Kelly can go fuck himself with a brick sideways.

From a comment I made elsewhere: You can decry an institution or societal convention as damaging and wrong while also being glad that trans people are not being specifically singled out for mistreatment or exclusion.

i too am a burn survivor but not NEARLY to the extent that you were. i’m so sorry you went through that, and i hope you’re healed.

If someone has a gun to my head and is about to squeeze the trigger—I don’t much care at that point who knocks the gun out of my would-be-murderer’s hand.

Oh the parent company. So coach will still be Coach as a brand. Okay, not a change I will register. Call the parent company “Midlevel Luxury for middle class women”—I don’t care.

I don’t think women are responsible for their husband’s actions. In fact, I don’t think women are EVER responsible for men’s actions. I think a lot of women can be in complicated relationships with men who they love, and it might take a lot for them to leave him.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m in a weird position to think about this, because a friend of mine married a guy who got arrested for possessing child porn - and she absolutely did not know about it. She didn’t know anything until the FBI woke her up raiding her house one morning. She divorced him immediately. It’s among the…

Such a great movie. I named my parakeet Agador Spartacus.

Fun fact, I’m home this morning because of the ‘holiday’ and decided to rewatch The Birdcage.

also, related: I just heard some research today that for a working group to have the highest “group intelligence” one of the recommendations is to have as many women on the team as possible. Like, 100% women is ideal. I was like OBVIOUSLY.

Little know fact, back in the 1960s and 70s, men actually had tiny turkey brains so any time they showered there was always a risk that they would look up at the showerhead and open their mouths, thereby drowning in the process. Because women were too smart to do this, it was actually imperative they every man had a…

Also known as Indiana, the gun crossroads of America. Come for some wholesome fun, leave with some murdering guns.

It’s an Island (of Gun Control) surrounded by a really big Ocean (of gun nuts)

Seriously.

Yeah, she’s drop dead gorgeous, but at the same time I can see why she wouldn’t think so about herself. Her face had and has a lot of character and didn’t necessarily fit the “ideal” for proportions according to stupid arbitrary standards.

raising a shitload of money for natural disaster victims is just so UNCLASSY

I found Seacrest and Oliver’s totally endearing. John Oliver I’d expect, but Seacrest, I found Seacrest endearing!
