Most constitutional scholars seem to interpret it as meaning being a citizen at the moment of birth, which she was, which would mean she’s eligible. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of arguments that it requires being born on US soil, because it was never actually defined and the Supreme Court has never made a ruling on…

I wonder if the text message said something that suggested they were in on the racist/misogynistic banter with this stagehand, and they thought they could get ahead of it by reporting it themselves (which apparently didn’t work)

I will say that if she felt compelled to defend him in some way, her statement could have been much worse. She’s clearly trying to walk the line of defending him while still showing some respect for the victims. And yes, not saying anything would have earned her some criticism too, but I think maybe that still would…

She did temper it with her statement about not shaming victims, but she also spent a paragraph talking about how great Russell is and followed up her statement about victims by saying that no one should be condemned legally without due process and a fair trial (which is true but also entirely beside the point since he…

And? Something can be legal and creepy at the same time. A 35 year old man pursuing a 17 year old is one of those things

Well, this isn’t symbolic of anything I can think of...

Already got my ticket for the 15th, can’t wait!

I had the same experience on Bumble, tried it for a good 4 months, got a grand total of 4 matches and none of them sent a message. Tinder wasn’t much better. I have managed to get the occasional conversation on OKCupid, but only one that turned into a date, and none since they changed how the messaging works, so that…

She’s an entitled brat and they’re self-important jerks. I don’t like anyone here

That’s a mess. I hope their lawsuit goes well

I almost forgot Valentine’s Day is coming up soon

There’s really no objection to this piece that isn’t rooted in homophobia, but I’m sure someone here is gonna try

You know it’s possible for strippers to be sexually harassed too, right? Your whole comparison here is flawed from the beginning

Mo’Nique is right, but “Amy Schumer never deserved $11 million but Netflix paid it because she’s a ‘marketable’ white woman” is a much better argument than “Mo’Nique deserves a multi-million dollar deal because she has an Oscar.” She’s framing her argument the latter way because she’s mostly making the argument to…

Ideally they should ask everyone if they want Thai food, at which point you can provide whatever response you see fit. They should not order Thai food for everyone without asking and then try to force-feed it to you when it arrives.

I think it’s still pretty simple, even if you can’t read body language or understand more subtle verbal communication, ask and wait for a “yes” rather than waiting for a “no.” The burden shouldn’t be on the other person to say no, that’s not real consent

Apparently a lot of men who claim up and down that they understand consent read the allegations against Aziz and thought, “oh wait, I’ve done that,” which is disturbing

It’s too bad the Super Bowl can’t end in a tie

It’s not difficult to claim, she was factually a citizen at birth because of her father, that she moved to the US at 16 is irrelevant

Her father was a US citizen, so it doesn’t matter where she was born
