Dear Coco,

At these steakhouses, the chef IS the server. (Note: This is NOT THE ASAHI IN QUESTION, please don’t hunt this guy down.)

If he is the type of person to rape another person it’s often as much about power and control as it is about sex. What better way to subjugate a person, to show how you utterly control them to hold their creative output hostage? It’s the ultimate fuck you he could give her, he has allegedly violated her body now he’s…

Never underestimate how petty people in the music industry can be. Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Van Morrison, John Fogerty, and many more can attest to that.

Lol I actually had a fairly traumatic experience with family on that whole “black people are voting for Obama because he’s black” tip. I mad eht mistake of replying-all to an insane email forward about it, and I wrote this long, (to my mind) thoughtful, well-reasoned argument about how even if people were voting for…

Seriously—this! Who wants to work with someone who is calling you a controlling rapist? Only a controlling rapist!

Oh absolutely. I fully agree that a candidate’s gender/race/etc can be A relevant factor, and even as a Sanders supporter I’d be happy to vote for Clinton in the general, and I recognize the mere fact of having someone other than a white male as President is a worthwhile achievement.

I remember a lot of handwringing over black people voting for Obama because he was black.

I agree with everything else you said, but if you don’t remember the handwringing over Obama and black people you just didn’t see it, because it was EVERYWHERE.

I actually do remember that crap with Obama, and it was just as much eye-rolling, intentional point missing as this is.

YES!
When Albright made her comments and Steinem...I didn’t like them, but you have to look at them in the context of those two as individuals and Hillary as a person. She is eminently qualified. And, shockingly, some of us progressives think that more progress can be made by her approach to politics than by shock and…

I love this. Anyone who completely dismisses Clinton’s gender as irrelevant isn’t thinking about the bigger picture, and the picture you posted perfectly summarizes it. If she wins, there will be an entire generation of teenagers in this country who grew up under a black man and a woman as the presidents of their…

or like, having a perspective that isn’t another white male in the white house is a totally valid part of the many reasons you have to decide to vote for someone.

I’m seriously going to start going at all BernieBros with “you’re only voting for him because he’s a man”. It’s a statement, not a question.

Yes! I am not voting for Hillary because she is a woman, but the fact that she is a woman MATTERS. I might be slightly less inclined to vote for her if she were a man, and that is not the same thing as voting for her because she is a woman.

Everyone seems to think that saying “I’m voting for Clinton because she’s a woman” really means “I’m *only* voting for Clinton because she’s a woman, and I obviously just haven’t *researched* enough and only vote on genitalia”

Men are not being asked to defend their voting positions as feminists, and so neither should we.

I have no kids and I am a crazy person, because I’m gifted that way.

Aren’t they like Beetlejuice? You say their name 3 times and they appear?

You guys really need to get an updated photo of LAPD headquarters. They moved out of Parker Center years ago.
