Huh? She laughed because her kidnapper's plan had been foiled.

Well, Obama and his wife have been the most expensive couple in the history of the White House. Not that they're lapping the competition or anything, but they've been even more extravagant than previous first families.

She's biased, and making it clear that she is. That is actually respectable.

Exactly.

No, I'm saying she presents an opinion that is not totally absurd though it disagrees with the standard, predictable, progressive schtick that is standard on Gawker. I'm not taking it as Gospel, as you appear to take the agenda-driven "analysis" that you subscribe to.

Boy, you really love sociology. How much time have you spent on real science, as opposed to that pseudo-science? Do you know how difficult it is to really know something? In my experience, virtually no one who dabbles in sociology grasps the magnitude of that statement.

Who pays for her extravagant vacations?

How am I in an echo-chamber? I'm here, too, frequently.

I talk to women in my circle all the time about issue and things I read here, and they almost uniformly disagree with everything that is said here every time. This place becomes an echo-chamber, and it is frequented by the people who have probably been more impacted by the things discussed and if not, they still more…

I think what he was implying is that the girls aren't ones prone to scaring easily, so maybe they aren't representative of the entire population. It is still an imperfect statement, if it is what he intended, but I do think it is less awful than what you implied.

"Jezebel often exists in some alternate universe, but because it's so insular and homogenous, assertions like the author's become normalized and self-reinforcing."

Don't know. Maybe she does.

Because she was an absolutely horrible witness.

Now, what do all you creepy ass crackers have to say about this?

It isn't, but this is Jezebel. There will always be people complaining about something.

"Putting a lid on a beverage isn't telling rapists they shouldn't rape, which is, you know, the main problem. It's not really deterring rape."

Feminism, except for when a woman uses terminology you don't agree with. Then she needs to be shamed and castigated.

"I think people are projecting a lot of stuff "

No True Feminist would say those RadFem quotes!
