So, you’re on a first name basis with a murderer who recruited her then lover to murder her husband. That is so heartwarming!

She only made those differences after plotting and succeeding to kill her husband.

Hi Lily - I have fantastic facial hair, but I have absolutely have no interest in contributing to a company like Gawker that thinks outing the sexual preference of an individual is news. And I really don’t feel like doing business with one of their advertisers either.

So happy to read this! I honestly loved her first essay, and I can’t wait to read the most recent one (behind the chronicle’s pay wall right now). There are so few feminists out there arguing that young women should be empowered to make mistakes without seeing them as trauma, and I think Kipnis was incredibly…

Good outcome, but the “prosecution” shouldn’t have taken place. As a result of this process, the temperature has been chilled everywhere. If you know an academic with Twitter or Facebook, you know they are thinking thrice before posting anything mildly upsetting.

Thank you. I feel exactly the same and it makes me sad and it’s also why I think I’ll increasingly be using “gender equality” instead of “feminism”.

What part of this current iteration of feminism do you most identify with? The policing? The intolerance to differing views? The clinging to victimhood? I see none of myself in it.

No, I meant it as in “I think this is just a good look for anyone in the world and this is a reminder of that” because it is the perfect hairstyle. But I realized that I meant “everyone” and not “anyone” as that becomes a dig. So I’ve changed it.

At the risk of sounding like a Clinton defender, weren’t a lot of people on board with the whole “three strikes and you’re out” policy in the mid-1990s? Everyone knows now that it’s a fucking awful policy that exacerbates inequalities in the judicial system but I seem to remember that it had bipartisan support back in…

I am glad that we finally have a conclusive study to put to rest the talking points that Ess Jay Double-yews and Anita constantly make: that playing a video game will instantly turn someone into a Sexist Rapist Misogynist. They were silly points that I’m fairly certain she probably made at some point when I was…

How does this potentially interact with the studies showing no causal link between violent video games and violent behavior? Can they be said to pose even weak support for the broader theory that video games have very little, if any, effect on larger attitudes and actions?

The thing about being poly is that nobody in the world cares as much about your freaky Three's Company situation as you think they do, they're just waiting to see which one cracks first under the strain of trying to keep a love triangle in the air like cheerleaders in a pyramid.

It's really unfortunate, but a lot of "alternative" lifestyles like being polyamorous, D/s relationships, shelter dog adopters, and veganism/raw food have a lot of people who espouse their choices on others. Yes, the "norms" of these behaviours engage in them, but I don't hear many of them calling themselves…

No, it's evangelizing. If you've never been told by a poly person that they pity how square and vanilla you are and really monogamy just isn't natural (and hey all the cool kids are doing it), you're a luckier person than me. I mean, yes, it's an orientation that still is faced with a tremendous amount of prejudice…

This isn't a community. Its the internet.

What's the over/under on how long before poly and open relationship type people take their evangelizing door-to-door like Jehovah's Witnesses?

It's very nice that you found an environment in which you are happy, but I do wish people would stop deferring to evolution every single time. The people who write books and push the idea that humans "evolved" or "didn't evolve" to be monogamous or play football or drive a Toyota Cressida do so with very flimsy…

Teddy?

I do think it's important to note that Thicke's own testimony in this was truly idiotic and terrible for his own case. He essentially said in some interviews that he used 'Got to Give It Up' to write 'Blurred Lines.' Then he recanted on this. Then he claimed he was high on vicodin the entire time. Then he claimed…

The first time I heard 'Blurred Lines' I had no idea what the song was or who was singing it but it was such an obvious rip off of "Got to Give It Up" that I just assumed that it had all been sampled and the samples had been licensed.
