DG’s General over the top rape fetishism and the ease she with which her characters, particularily Claire breakthrough their post traumatic stressfollowing the many sexual assaults they suffer throughout the series is nothing short of phenominal. It's a huge problem with her writing.

I hated that scene in the book. Really hated it. Sometimes DG’s writing gives me chills and sometimes it is so eyerollingly bad it makes me irrationally angry. That scene was done so much better on the show because they showed some restraint and it wasn't balls to the wall ridiculous.

Yes, I always thought the lavender sex exorcism (Lavender Sexorcism is the name of my punk band) would be tough to adapt to the screen. I wonder if that’s why they are taking this angle?

Not to be all “in the book”... but in the book, they were having tons of sex. I think they are doing a more realistic approach here - Jamie is dealing with major demons. But I find it interesting that the book is was way more trashier then Starz.

Also, Jay-Z didn’t make some insipid Instagram post where he sort of, but not really, calls out Beyoncé.

...No. If Philip Roth was allowed to write the same fucking story over and over, about boring, ruthless men on navel-gazing quests for sexual fulfillment — and win prizes for it — and be called one of the greatest writers of his generation — I think we as a culture can afford Beyoncé space to take what is personal to h…

Rachel has been shady and slick before making sub tweets about her beach is better, a line from a Jay-Z song. She tweeted that after the elevator incident. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rachel and Jay had something going on. Rachel used to be married to Dame Dash, Jay’s former business partner. I was well known that they…

So because she has an album showing the journey of going through some very human and natural reactions to trust being broken in a marriage, it is drama? You think referring to a woman using her music as catharthis, and being honest about how she felt as “drama” isn’t ingrained misogyny? She put him on blast with many…

Funny how the people who claim to hate drama are so often the ones starting it.

I don’t completely disagree with you BUT Calling him right now might not be the best thing. It is still fresh and he might need time with his daughter and by himself to cope, or at least try. So maybe it is like, putting a message out there and when he is ready, it will be waiting for him with out intruding on…

I would like for people, esp. other people of color, to stop acting as if black people are in this privileged position where everybody takes our concerns more seriously than they take the concerns of other marginalized groups.

I swear during his subsequent comeback there was some issue at Good Morning America where he tried to break a window with a chair and stormed out of there.

Chris Brown can kiss my ass with this film. Him and his awful mama. She’s the worst next to him.

I think it has to do with some idea about women in the past being docile cleaning sex wives (like in 1950s movies). Obviously they weren’t (they haven’t met my grandma!) but there seems to be this idea among conservative men that women used to be nice little slaves and feminism has turned them all into shrews.

You know why they do that? Because they don’t even bloody notice the emotional labor that the women are performing for them ALL. THE. TIME. So they only acknowledge the sex and the sammiches. I avoid reading those kinds of comments, because it would give me a rage stroke, but I used to listen to my clients talk about…

If it’s anything like similarly priced daycares in the state I’m most familiar with, it includes a proper number of (badly-paid) daycare teachers for the number of children in each age group, specific educational toys, access to outdoor space (which can be very expensive in urban areas), licensing fees, and so on.…

I am guessing lots of liability insurance, because I have not heard about any day care workers raking in the big bucks.

We’ve done public day-care before, in World War 2. We should do it again, although we have to get it right - a bad day-care can be worse than no day-care at all.

And for me to get so upset here, on the Today show, with you guys, means there’s something there.
