I think for a lot of white people (just like for a lot of men), speaking up where black people can see/hear it (or where women can see/hear it) to point out how YOU are not a racist (or misogynist) is so much easier and safer than speaking up where racist white people (or misogynist men) are holding forth with their…

*checks condition of panties*

I think I'd need to see the data on whether the question was posed as if it was the other person's behavior or your own being evaluated. Because I strongly suspect that if these men were asked to consider specifically if the *woman* kissing other men, sexting other men, and trolling on Tinder (even without ever…

crush nine straight hours of Mad Men

Why, because she's so beautiful that she wouldn't have the same need to lie to pretend like a famous man was soooooo attracted to her that he raped her that non-supermodels like the rest of us all have?

From what I can tell, the "adoption" was because he was already the husband's lover, and it was not unusual in those cases for adoption of an adult to be used as a cover for the relationship. He was impressed into service at 15, so it was some time after that when he became the husband's lover...or victim, depending…

David Mamet's daughter, some very wealthy British family's daughter (some long ago rock star is the dad), and Lena Dunham's parents are well known in the visual arts world.

You somehow avoiding reading the incessant moaning during the first season of Girls about how the four actresses all come from privileged, connected families?

She lacks all swagger.

And with the UCSB shooter, the fact that he stated the intent to go to a sorority with the highest concentration of women of the type he most resented (white, blonde, hot) and murder all of them, and that he planned to kill his roommates first in order to provide him with space to bring some women back to the…

This was me down the line. It was a wonderful experience.

Are those the most common boy baby names of 2014 or the most common werewolf romance hero names of 2014?

In that novel there is a group called:

And to specify that there is a *selection of cheeses*. He could've just said cheese, which would cover any number of varieties, but he lets her know he is offering her much, much more.

I feel like if a person is willing to come forward in that setting and admit that they violated the policy when there's absolutely no advantage to do so, that that does deserve some consideration. That they're willing to say, 'I've done something wrong and I recognize that and I'm willing to take my licks and deal…

Since your peer group doesn't engage in it, it would be unusual for you to hear it. The three reasons it is done: 1. Male bonding, reinforcing the idea that this is something men should do to women (always a group) 2. Hurting women (perps individuals or groups) 3. Intimidating the individual male companions of women…

I was disappointed they didn't have him try to turn her, instead. That's her worst nightmare, and I can see him thinking if she's a vamp, maybe she'd stay with him. The sexual assault just didn't feel thematically resonant. It could happen on any show, to any characters.

There was tons of outrage. Nothing will be done until men put pressure on other men to *not* do things like this. Instead, men pressure other men *to* do it, and to tolerate it when they see it happening.

Sure they have, and peeping toms have been taking pictures through women's windows since there were cameras, but the framing of pictorial evidence of the violation of women's bodies as WINS in those subcultures is a recent advancement.
