The “stars” of this scandal are all women. That’s no accident. All these people are guilty of is not following the long established norms for bribery into higher education. It’s a scandal but we’re not going after the real problems. How the hell does our President have a degree from Wharton, supposedly one of the most…

No one should be going to prison over this shit. Make them do legit community service AND fund the four year education of a low income student. what the hell does sending Aunt Becky to prison achieve? Always hit them in the pocketbook.
Sorry to be the person who criticises the headline, but I did read the article first, and then I went away for an hour and came back after thinking about it, so I feel okay about criticising the headline.
I just read the article twice, and enjoyed it both times. It’s definitely interesting to see such a methodical and wellr-researched history (even if brief) of feminist blogging (and impressive given how hard it can be make a timeline of any sort of movement on the internet.)
Once upon a time I might have agreed with you. But today people don’t trust the media because every outlet has a poorly-concealed agenda. When papers are forced to print retractions for front-page stories, they’re buried in the fine print deep inside. If you want a full account of a story you have to go to multiple…
Her resorting to ad hominem arguments so quickly in the argument belies the weakness of her position.
Suddenly so glad I live in a Midwestern city and work with a lot of very nice, untrendy middle aged people and can just LIVE my damn life......I started considering getting the coat last month and I guarantee you no one but me would ever recognize it here. What a peaceful existence I didn’t know I led
Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…
I started saying that I’m pro-abortion a few years ago in response to the oft-tauted “we’re not pro-abortion, we just believe in giving people the choice”.
Stop me if I’m wrong, but with 1) universal access to 3) reliable birth control that has no side effects, wouldn’t abortion become rare? At least it would happen a lot less. (Yes, I know about contraception failure. We have a long way to to achieve the “reliable” part.)
Why is it significant? Do you have something other than idle speculation that these two things are related? Do you have a bank transfer record showing she paid it off? Do you have a text message showing that she told him to take care of it?
You seem to be a real asshole. This is Trump level conspiracy spinning. You might as well have just wrote “People are saying...”
You know why.
Yeah, I really don’t understand why her photo is in the header above.
There’s a real tone in this article that Reese is somehow to blame, or responsible for what happened. I’m really tired of women getting the blame for men’s bad actions. She left Phillipe 16 years ago. Even though she has to maintain a co-parenting relationship with him-in 2017 their children were both still minors-his…
Same. Even if it’s not about a payday, I’ve no doubt he instigated.
It should be mentioned, company employees 32k total people, it’s shutting down (according to link) 178 out of approximately 800 stores. Most (if not all) of said closing stores are outside the U.S. where (allegedly) sales or poor. (Sales in the U.S. are (allegedly) fine. So one would guess approximately 7k jobs are…
“the people who do the work on the ground are often last in line, behind an array of hedge funds and private equity firms and bankers”
What a bizarre comment. Because Splinter’s ownership has decided to accept ad revenue from Amazon, Hamilton should what, not write about the death of traditional retail workers? Boycott working for any company that accepts ad revenue from Amazon?
