Do you think they make Jeb sit at the kids’ table

A sobering reminder that men are 82,000x more likely to be raped than falsely accused of rape.

I love Aerie so much. Unapologetically. I buy all my underwear there. It fits amazing, goes through the wash like a champ, and has cute patterns. I don’t need sexy barely-there undies, I want ones that cover my whole ass. 7 pairs for $26 is also pretty fucking amazing. This campaign just solidifies my love of them.…

These sort of systemic changes, that get at the structure of an “old boys club,” while never sufficient on their own, are 10000% good news. How did this not happen decades ago?

“I think in our industry and our business, it’s really about looking to who’s telling what story, who’s being allowed to direct, who’s being allowed to act in it, and I think that needs to change.”

just tell them they misunderstood

Aww, man. I mean, sure. He’s evil. But at this point, don’t you feel just a little bit bad for how poorly this turned out for Jeb!? It’s gone cartoonishly bad. It’s like, Jeb! sent away to the ACME Corp. for a campaign kit & some roadrunner seed and now it’s all just anvils dropping on him.

To pretend that slaves were never happy or never had a good day or never smiled is to deny them a basic part of their humanity. That some were friendly with or even loved their masters is undeniable.

That’s not entirely fair. You’re drawing comparisons between common responsibilities and talent. I agree that writers should become good at writing for both sexes, but writers who write compelling characters of both sexes do deserve recognition. It’s a difference of competence and excellence.

I agree although I don’t think calling out microaggressions is a bad thing either. The thing is, the reason his jokes aren’t funny is because he’s going for shock value instead of even trying to be insightful or original, or making himself the butt of the joke the way he used to do. And that is about the way he’s…

He just wasn’t very funny, unfortunately. He’s really lost a lot of appeal in recent years. I don’t think Caitlyn Jenner jokes are off the table at all, though I think it’s in poor taste to start by saying Bruce Jenner. Still, I didn’t find him terribly offensive at any point. Just kind of sad.

Well, the only reason I can think of is that dangerous people start somewhere, and if that place is buying a gun, then we aren’t gonna know that they are dangerous yet because their record will be clean. Or, that people who pass background checks will make guns available to those that wouldn't/ shouldn't (example:…

Thank you. It’s nice to hear from regular gun owners who are also just plain old neighbors.

“It’s not about guns it’s about mental health”

I wonder if the course should be extended to women and men? Cos internalized misogyny is a thing that affects everyone, not just men...

Is it weird that I feel like this is okay? Like, it should be taught as part of language classes and middle school classes and to everyone everywhere.

Omg dude, so much this. I remember when Jez first reported on his comments a week or so ago there were all these people howling about how he had “Erased women from the fandom.” I mean for fuck sakes. I’ll say it again: I always thought it was clear that he was acknowledging that the franchise hadn’t done much to…

I wish there were more room in the modern media world for a bit more easy generosity between folks. It’s wearying to always be demanding apologies, you know? People goof. They say stupid shit. They get tired. And it sometimes feels like we’re all just waiting for someone to piss us off so we can purge some hateful…

Speaking as a trans woman myself, I’m kind of disgusted by this film, and how much they’re patting themselves on the back. There were hardly any paid trans people involved in the making of the film, and all of the consultants that Redmayne used to understand what being trans is (he even admits he had no clue when he…

and mine was female despite pr only showing off male for merchandise during 1 & 2, sooo get over it?
