I dismiss assholes like you when they come up in my own comments but apparently you’re doing this to everyone. What the fuck is with people like you coming to Jezebel to rip on this woman and call her a liar? Is your worldview so fragile that you can’t think for a second that a person who has been accused multiple…

I want to hire you as a blogger who rates apologies. GET ON THIS, GAWKER MEDIA.

I’m gonna be that girl, but Josie and the Pussycats came out in 2001. I just get irrationally angry when people think of the early 2000s as like the epitome of the ‘90s. They weren’t.

I actually stopped shaving completely just for shits and giggles and literally no one says anything about it. Sexual partners do not care unless you have more hair than them, the long hair don’t care rule still applies.

I’d be pissed to if I was your mom because that meant that you had internalized the patriarchy way too much. It would be more of a “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” thing though.

At 120 I was a size 8. After that experience I was like, “Why would anyone want to be less than a size 8?!?” Like if you already are, fuck you and your genetics, uh, I mean good for you... but other than that like take a chill pill you look fine.

This never happened to me (I’ve never felt so blessed) but my mom had a weirdo ex who kept showing up long after my dad and her were married. He finally got the hint when he visited one time (out of the blue... I don’t even know) and saw my older brother and my mom looking at him like, “What the fuck are you doing…

Question about low libido meds—has any older woman here (let’s say about 40+) tried marujuana for this problem? Because as a younger woman it’s worked wonders (uh, or so I’m told).

WTF... Urgh that’s the worst because it’s family... Genuinely considering becoming a parent now because as shitty of a person as I am I would never ask my nieces to go to prom with my son.

I don’t. He’s a grown ass man, there’s no excuse for that.

Between this and her constantly starring in Woody Allen films my love for her has waned significantly... Which makes me so sad.

It took me a while to hear about the Ludlow drama, he’s mostly referred to as “a certain philosophy professor” if he comes up at all. It’s safe to say we’re not in the same department, I’m only ever at the Evanston campus and I do TA. I only worry because it’s a male dominated field and my name username is so…

Thanks for the recommendation! **instantly buys them all on her kindle**

I’m in the grays too! It’s been forever let me outtttt.... Anyway—I want to star your comment more too. It’s not like this essay just says the policy goes to far, it goes further and assumes everyone enters these relationships on equal footing—-NOT THE CASE.

You just framed that a lot better than she did. It’s not what she’s saying, it’s how she’s saying it. I can see people reading it and thinking it contributes to a hostile, victim blaming environment. Critiquing the policy isn’t the problem.

I honestly prefer the term “victim” bur hey, call yourself whatever you want. If it makes you feel better/empowered, then it’s worth it.

“... it’s ironic that she’s complaining that her students are being infantalized when she missed the first lesson of adulthood, you can’t always have what you want.”

Oh em gee I’d ask what department but then I would seriously risk doxxing myself . Exactly on the wait two years thing—sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s “real” or just because you’re in power. I can tell that some students get crushes on me, and I can tell it’s all because of my position.

With the risk of doxxing myself, I go to NU and am a grad student. I think her essay is in extremely poor taste since the “great prohibition” came out of a professor being a complete fucking creep (Peter Ludlow). Yes, it’s messed up to prohibit people from loving each other, but it hasn’t been socially acceptable for…

It’s unhygenic, ladies.
