He probably moved his hand down there when the photogs were assembled a split second before pics were being taken.

Does she have any recourse here?

If you look at his website, I’m pretty sure he’s actually a gay man, hence referring to himself as “faggot”. No excuse - if anything the misogyny of gay men is forgiven b/c they’re gay.

You got it.

This reminds me of a job interview that went terribly. The interviewer insisted on shaking hands at the end...and then he clucked his tongue because I take and squeeze gently and quickly, no jangle. TOO WEAK FOR HIM. He couldn’t just “meh” me out of the office, he had to check my weak form handshaking too.

eta: just repeating what’s been said here, leave it to them.

Oh, what a bullshit excuse you’re peddling. And there’s no excuse for slapping your own grandkid on the ass. That’s fucking disgusting and disrespectful in the context of any relationship, but PARTICULARLY a familial one.

That’s so fucking gross. It’s gross doing that to children, it’s gross doing that to adults. That sort of behavior is why there are certain people in my life I viscerally can’t relax around - it’s like expecting a punch.

No, I got her point, particularly about the would-be brides, and I don’t disagree. I was addressing YOUR comment about how those women experience being strung along in a practice I think punishes them and devalues women for reasons you note...their worth is wrapped up in whether that guy (some guy, any guy - maybe a…

You should post this to the SE Asian authors (nonsensically, since this is Kumail’s actual life, whether other quibbles against him or warranted or not) pissed off it’s being portrayed at all.

This is what I hate most about conservatives like this.

I would have killed for what you’re describing. Not just that - Excel, intro to vocational trades, things that could be enhanced by college like coding boot camps.

This is how my mean twat of a cousin shamed me into shaving my legs.

That’s so terrible.

Sorry, you have the handle of a commenter who was part of Gawker/Jezebel before the shit to Fusion and the end of Gawker’s mainpage. I was hopeful.
