Yep! Similar to people who hear stories about kidnappings or rapes and say “I would have ran out screaming / fought back / killed him / beat the shit out of him”

It irks me as well. People lived segregation, day in and day out. Strong, resilient, passionate people. They didn’t tweet how their sass would have ‘been the death of them’, it was real and in their face.

Yes, they act as if those people were spineless instead of realizing how much courage it took to keep it together so you could take care of your family and community.

I don’t know if I would have made it during segregation. my mouth and passion about having my rights would have been the death of me.

This. Everywhere. As a long-time tennis/golf/skating-on-tv fan, listening to the commentary around the Williams sisters, especially early on, was jaw-grinding. But, again, not dissimilar to the commentary around Woods, Jesse Williams, Debbi Thomas, Surya Bonaly, etc. Always the back-handed compliment that begrudgingly…

But it’s California. Nobody in California is racist. Racism only happens in the South and Flyover Country?

There was no twitter then... but black folk knew what happened there and never forgot, either. Those fucking people... and it wasn’t just there. It was (is) all over with americans rooting for any foreign white lady against one of the sisters, or both of the sisters when they play double. They get more love out of…

I read that part, checked her name, read it again, wondered again if I was confused about this being Susan fucking Sarandon’s kid, and then finally concluded that she was delusional.

I bet dollars to donuts that she was testing the waters . She knew exactly who she was sending it to; she just didn’t expect him to go scorched earth if he rejected her advances.

Oh, girl! Did you never do/see the “oops wrong number!” trick in high school? All you do is “accidentally” text your crush that you like him and you’re single, and you would say yes to going out if he asked. Write it as if it’s to your friend, but text it to the guy. Then you can text “OMG! How embarrassing!!!!!” etc…

“by mistake”

Ok obviously sexting the boss was entirely inappropriate, but calling your husband a LEGEND because he recorded the firing of her? And then listening to it with all of your girlfriends? That’s kind of just immature and cruel and unnecessary, grow up, you fired her and ended the situation, the humiliation isn't really…

Now at this point in Kyle’s story, the part of me who is the teenager who came of age in Brooklyn started bubbling up– and my hands started itching to take my earrings out and hold them while I got CRAZY.

Good on JLo for being honest, but we can all agree that this is a horrible, terrible, awful tattoo. And I’m a person who generally finds tattoos attractive.

I’m not even going to post any cute pets. This just pisses me off that I don’t want a breather from it. Fuck that corrupt, amoral piece of shit corporation.

I don’t see how you get that from this story. Oprah is herself a survivor of sexual abuse, and has dedicated a lot of time and resources toward supporting victims of sex crimes. Andrews says she reached out to Oprah specifically because of this — this isn’t an interview Oprah went looking for. It was the least shitty…

I have only commented on one other article on any website in my life. As a female who teaches Criminology on the college level it astounds me that not only the hotel would put a public figure at physical risk, but then her employer would put her at psychological risk in regards to this stalker. I have no doubt this…

And it’s so ridiculous. Even if you buy into all the arguments that women can’t play sports (ignoring stuff like the WNBA and the soccer WNT), people honestly think women can’t even discuss them? I mean seriously, what the fuck?

Having, by her account, successfully strong-armed a crime victim into doing something she didn’t want to do in the service of reassuring people that she actually was a victim, ESPN eventually allowed her to go back to work.

I’m a female. I like sports. But it seems like everyday I hear a story about how trivialized women are in sports, in sports “relationships", and now, even broadcasting. dammit.
