Rent the Runway? They have a lot of turds but there are some diamonds to be found.

YES! my mom was dying back in ‘94 when I asked for a pair of white patent “pimp shoes.” I get it now. This shit looks like costuming. It’s like the fashion industry took a page from the film industry and just wants to regurgitate the past instead of finding ways to be inspired by the past in creating something new and…

Isn't Honor super old times traditional? Like, Pilgrims traditional? Haven is odd.

I loved “imma git you sucka!” But I saw it when I was like, 5 years old sooooo grains of salt.

A friend ofine was charmed / swept off her feet by him, they fucked and that's when he did the ‘ok gaslight maneuver. I think he's arrogant.

Definitely not a Cody Hirn situation.

I just did a little Google search because I've never heard the story. If that is in fact her story, it was RAPE. Not assault.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, nor do I know about any BJ queen rumors. Which is why I wrote “wait, what?” to the original poster. I was a teenage BJ queen. No judgement.

No, not at all.

Wait. what?!

But are airplane dude books really considered literature? I think she’s awesome at what she does but she’s just not in the same genre as Franzen. It would be a better controversy if it was Nicole Krauss or someone like that....

I disagree with “shrew” or “shrew-ish.” She had her opinion and got the ball rolling again on the state of women in literature and that’s great.

Listen to his interview on Fresh Air - I have the podcast and it was uploaded yesterday. You absolutely need context because it’s not as simple as she’s a feminist and therefore makes her husband piss sitting down. It’s not even about feminism - it’s about the characters fucked up motivation that goes much deeper than…

under the post there are links to the “feud” between both authors.

My reaction was, “GET OVER IT ALREADY.”

meh.

My husband is incredibly capable....I married him, after all. Who would marry a guy who can't make a bed, clean up, and pay bills? Wtf, raise the bar people.

Shit. I know you’re a stranger but I hope you’re ok and I’m so fucking sorry you went through that. It's just heartbreaking, even on kinja.

He was married prior to the current wife???

Beyond overrated. Thank you.
