This occurred to me as well. For all the men shouting “sexism” at the non-male panel, none of them were acknowledging that eliminating the behavior would probably really positively benefit them. 

This is a really good analysis, and I wish the article had included this. 

I worked with mostly women at my last job and it was heaven. There were a few problematic people (read: 2-3 max), and the majority of them were men who screamed at their employees, took credit for others’ work, or shirked responsibility but still got praised for their hard work.

Obviously, small sample size, but I…

Aaaaand now the theme song is stuck in my head.

You can also ask which company they’ll use to do the pull, so that you only have to temporarily unfreeze one as opposed to all 3!

Welcome to the confusing world of Japanese pop English Grammar decisions

Yeah, she was absolutely huge in 2007 in Japan. When I was there, you could NOT turn on the radio without hearing an Ayumi Hamasaki song.

Utada Hikaru comes to mind...

Do their genders really matter, though?

The problem is similar to white women saying “YAAASS QUEEN” and co-opting black vernacular in a cutesy way without acknowledging the racial context of it. Yes, they may have spoken like that. No, it is not okay for a bunch of middle-class white women in the 2000's to appropriate it as a cutsey-ism among their other…

Conveniently leaving out the last part of his sentence:

McDonald literally said that the victims of Louis CK, et. al. have no idea what it’s like to experience having their lives ruined, and that the pain that they are experiencing (as victims, many of whom were professionally blackballed because they spoke up) is nothing in comparison to what their harrassers are…

Werner’s friend at school who refused to throw the bucket of water is a clear foil for Werner, and Doerr writes Werner as someone who is paralyzed with the…

I doubt CBS is going to let Moonves claim it.

Pretty sure the best option is to make sure parents don’t cave to the pressures of wanting their child to feel “normal,” and in the process mutilate their genitals for life. 

Thaaat’s what happens when your parent company offer buy-outs to all of your best writers and editors, I guess.

Uh, yeah, she does. If she is having sex with people who are not her husband while also maintaining that she is monogamous, at very best she is being a huge jerk, and at worst she could be exposing him to sexually transmitted infections that could fuck him up.

I can’t help but wonder what you would be saying if the…

Well, she probably hurt her husband (which is probably why she expressed the regret she did), but yeah. 

So in that vein, how would you specify a sex-worker who specifically has sex for money from, say, a stripper or a cam girl? Genuinely curious, as I think it’s an important to be able to speak in a respectful but specific way.
