I’m getting really pissed off with this whole ‘benefit of the doubt’ bullshit. When normal people apply for jobs with far fewer consequences to anything or anyone, employers don’t go ‘well you have zero experience so sure, why not?’ College graduates can’t get jobs that they are over qualified for, but these clowns…

This absolutely can/should be a first step, and MUST be a first step, as the intersectional feminist movement needs more bodies. It’s the job of the white ladies who are already doing or planning to do what Kara has outlined to be patient/encouraging to the white ladies who aren’t there yet. WOC have the right to be…

I hope thats the hand she wipes her ass with, and sneezed on before touching him.

I’m loving it.

So, Viola Davis got a star to promote Hidden Figures, a film she is not in?

I don’t know much about this case as it happened my sophomore year in college (I had better things to do like drink and not study) and I’ve always tried to avoid sensational stories like this.

Aaaaaand, just like that, the entire first comment tree is a relitigation of the evidence, because armchair detective and forensic scientists on a Jez comment board are totally going to solve it, this time.

I am very happily single by choice, and I have a family that happens to be super relationship-focused. This past Thanksgiving, I was the ONLY single adult present at our family gathering, and that is including my cousin’s 18-year-old stepson, who brought his girlfriend (!).

Why do you assume it’s her fault or the fault of many on here who have been single for a long long time?

I think you should refrain from offering unsolicited relationship advice to the author of an article explicitly describing how tired she is of receiving unsolicited relationship advice.

The lengthy “you can do it if you try these things!!!” responses further down the thread manage to accomplish the neat trick of missing this essay’s point and underlining and bolding why it needed to be written.

I’m beginning to think Emma Stone pushed this commenter’s grandmother into traffic or something. Goodness.

Sounds like you don’t like Emma Stone. Well, I don’t know her history but I do see that she is in a lot of movies. Did she do something to you? I personally not going to say how a woman should share her story or who should. What makes it cookie cutter? As a woman, I have had men dismiss me and not the other male…

How dare a woman share her experience! She should let the men talk. I don’t think she needs to get her name in the media. She is already a big star. She is sharing something important and it needs to be said. Stop being dismissive and listen.

Shut up, you lying motherfucker. No one who is from the southside of Chicago calls it “South Chicago” unless you’re talking about the name of the street.

There doesn’t have to be a thing you are accused of being angry about when you are Black and female. I was told that I was “always angry” just as I had gotten done smiling and saying “good morning” to someone. If you are quiet or reserved, you are “stuck up,” “intimidating,” or “have an attitude.” If you express your…

Okay please sit all the way down. Blacks protest violence ALL THE FUCKING TIME. But you likely live in a world completely insulated from black churches,black neighborhoods and civic institutions — and get your news from white writers who do not cover anything about blacks except crime stories. You know nothing about…

Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. People get together to protest and act on crime in their (segregated) neighborhoods all the time. Usually when regular people commit crimes they are punished for them.

this is how i know we’re best friends - i was hoping for the same thing.

Margaret Cho has always been someone who lies for attention. She’s like if Marc Maron were a woman. It’s too bad because she is incredibly talented.
