Strong and Bryant are champs. The former’s talking-through-wanting-to-laugh such that she sounded like she was on the verge of tears was awkwardly brilliant.

I strongly agree, but I’m still not really a fan of mocking people for their looks, when it’s their views that are the problem, especially when their appearance is a result of a war wound.

Yeah, while I found the segment pretty funny and Crenshaw did admittedly come off as very likable, this is a guy who is against abortion, universal healthcare, gun control, etc. It felt like an attempt to humanize someone who supports reprehensible and dangerous policies and it made me super uncomfortable.

I actually appreciate the way they did it. Flashbacks like that happen to survivors all the time. One moment you’re doing something innocuous (like digging a grave), and the next, out of nowhere you see a flash of your rapist’s face. Or you smell someone wearing the same cologne and break out in a cold sweat. Or a…

Dear Netflix, now that you’ve finally placed the diseased kidney stone that is this show, can you please develop something for Robin Wright to star in and maybe even direct? After what she did for the crew and cast of this show, I feel like she deserves something worth her talent.

Is this the first season that uses so much green screen? I mean, it was nearly constant. I fell in love with this show mainly because of its glorious nature shots. But they couldn’t find a river in Scotland that would look similar to North Carolina? Because that part was outrageous.

“I just never wanted to be on the other side of that and cause pain to the families I was doing that to, whether right or wrong.”

“Seeing my father’s situation, I felt what happened was obviously unjust in terms of the way they pursued him,”

“I bet holding in the laughter was really hard for Van Jones.”

Not even that, she never met the dead soldier, who died in a training accident 10 years before she married his brother. That’s some heady bullshit she’s shoveling.

Let’s not miss the repellent subtext of “watched peers who acquiesced in it move ahead while those who didn’t were left behind ... no one... should have to choose between abuse and ambition.”

Heh heh. Immense respect for Aly Raisman,who pointed out this conflict of interest:

It was an emotional reaction to a sponsor’s use of the phrase that caused me to tweet.

you’re welcome to interpret my response through an incredibly narrow and reductionist lens. I said nothing about her deserving harassment. but when we continually hear one narrative about a country, region, or people, it is important to remember that those stories are incomplete. white privilege is not having to…

This is the most clueless, condescending white-girl bullshit. She’s just so brave, so courageous for traveling alone among all of these strange, brown people and taking ridiculous chances with her own safety that no woman in her right mind would take in any country. Hitchhiking in a vehicle full of men? Sleeping on…

I don't think you are crazy, the article reads as self important and almost..narcissitic? Something. Something shouts I Shop At Free People.

The whole time reading this, I was thinking, has she never heard of ta’arof?

When i get really angry at an article I look for the replies that say what I’m thinking... you are the only one i find that gets my exact sentiment. This white girl “Im so powerful and a lonely wander, no one is like me” is annoying. She isn’t a special snowflake and brave warrior for conquering foreign land. The…

very smug. very self-aggrandizing. Very rich white girl goes to the middle east and comes to term with herself and how amazing she is. I didn't even like the topic.

many iranian women have travelled iran alone. How nice for you to position yourself as the outsdier willing to break the rules. Iranian women have been living under this regime for decades, and have figured out how to live their lives under it. Despite what you may have been told, or not seen, they do have some…
