I don’t think I’ve ever actually read that comments that sunk Heigl’s career, but seeing them now it strikes me that 1) she’s absolutely right about Knocked Up; 2) her comments would be received rather differently–that is, more fairly–today, I think.

...you know this is a series about rom-coms? So she is kind of writing the same article, or it just seems that way from the surface. Just like when the other person writes every article about a superhero movie.

Aiming to please people who’d rather elect a known incompetent traitor rather than a qualified woman should not be on the agenda. The agenda should be to make all these people irrelevant forever.

I am a gay man. When I was in college I had one-night stand with a fellow collegian.

I agree, and you know it’s making Trump happy, and anything that makes Trump happy doesn’t make me happy.

I don’t understand. Why do we care exactly what Bezos was texting to his girlfriend? There’s nothing illegal happening, is there? He’s not a giant hypocrite talking about family values and then screwing teenagers, is he? So why do I give a shit?

#2.   I thought #2 immediately.  She could make Mackenzie Bezos-level bank off that and never have to work again.

I’m sorry, how do I sign up for this condition? 

My first thought was, “at the end of the day, you get to leave and do whatever you want with your free time in the evening. You could choose to eat whatever you want during that time, too. I’m not seeing the problem, except for some justifiable grumpiness over being asked to work for no pay which isn’t the fault of…

...was enough to make me shrug “fair enough,” and like a movie I probably would have criticized a couple of years ago.

Last week, the New Yorker published a story on the complicity of the elite, hyper-wealthy set in New York City in creating the Donald Trump that we know and loathe today. These people legitimized him because it was funny to laugh at this bridge and tunnel buffoon at white tie dinner parties, and because a lot of their…

Republicans will violate fire code before they’ll think about regulating guns.

Next up: BAN SCHOOLS! Can’t get shot in a classroom if there’s no classroom. Checkmate, libs...

I really hope those “well regulated Militias” are working out for people protecting the 2nd because maybe I’m missing something but all I see are a bunch of students & citizens constantly getting slaughtered.

Obviously a white guy wrote that message. Sheesh. As if we would ever say “nigger cock” to another black person.

No one likes being called out on being part of the system of patriarchy, which is why I think so many women always leap to explain why their decision to change their name Was Totally Feminist And Justified instead of just accepting that, in this particular interest, they just went with what was easier, socially.…

So much this. It’s really really frustrating everything this topic comes up, it’s a slew of rationalizations and never any introspection on why it’s only women who have these rationalizations every.single.time.

I fully acknowledge I’m being super judgy. But i just don’t think I’m wrong. There are always Reasons and Justifications about why an individual woman’s choice was totally removed from the patriarchal ramifications behind the tradition but notice how all of these exceptions that have nothing to do with tradition or…
