Whoa now let’s leave Russell Wilson out of this

I feel like if pat’s fans were just like “yeah they cheated, that was really shitty.” this would not get blown up like it does.

You could take off Brady’s skin and find out that he wasn’t a human, but a robot programmed to play football and Patriots fans would be like “Who’s to say robots can’t play football these days? Why doesn’t anyone talk about all the other jobs that robots are taking over? It’s all just a witch hunt because everyone’s

So much better than a Tundra.

It’s so small but this really stuck out to me: “I’m probably one of the least homophobic rappers in the world.”

The problem is that literally not a single one of his actions suggests that he has grown up, and instead he’s acting like he deserves to be forgiven when he has done absolutely nothing that would incite forgiveness. He still plays the songs, he still uses problematic slurs, and we are supposed to absolve him because

Tyler said that he thought addressing his fans’ threats might actually rile them up and worsen the situation, and insisted that by tweeting at Alison, he was trying to strike up a dialogue with her. “I wanted everyone to see that I was trying to speak to her like a regular person,” he said. “[Coralie Alison] never

But the legal remedies being suggested treat the victims of trafficking as sex workers. The vast majority of women in the sex trade are victims of trafficking and/or coercion. That is the complicated part. The women who are in the sex trade purely by choice are a minority, and a privileged one.

I hope the author falls in a hole and is never heard from again.

Exactly! I feel like many Jez readers are white and priviledged and they have this idea that all sex work is empowering and those of us who are worried about women who are coerced or trafficked are “hysterical” like te author said. Well, I am Mexican and an immigrant and most women I know who did sex work were coerced

Not to mention if a person is looking for “connection”, whether it be physical, emotional or intellectual, how gratifying could it actually be, knowing that you paid someone to basically pretend to be interested in you?

I’m really torn about this issue. On the one hand, I have friends who have been sex workers. They have been white, middle class women who chose to get into it to make a few extra dollars, to make an income when they lost their jobs, to put themselves through school, etc. Some of them had good experiences, some of them

I dunno. Someone in my life said he looked elsewhere because he felt rejected, but I find it to be a bunch of whiny BS. Like, somehow a woman always has to emotionally fix things in relationships. Or relationships are all about women giving men attention and if their attention is elsewhere, that’s a crisis.

Wow, fuck this GQ article, for real.

I kind of struggle with the part after the bold though. The men who pay as “beloved husbands.”

Read the entire article, it’s worse.

In this section, I was struck by the thought that she considers monogamy somewhat conservative. Who knew.

“You can tell yourself whatever story you want, and eventually you forget you’re telling a story and you’ll find yourself in the parking lot of a Pizzeria Uno getting sucked off by someone who thinks she’s getting the better end of the deal. And she’ll give you that blow job, all the while wondering how she could get

Allowing men access to my body wore thin before I met the man I’m in love with. But since being with him, it is an increasingly unappealing situation. When I work, no one tries to cause me pain or discomfort; I am not asked to participate in anything unusual or harmful. If something physical happens, I endure it, it
