In the midst of all the gushing about what a diva she is, it might have been worth mentioning that Mariah has recently been accused of sexual harassment by an ex-employee. I don’t recall seeing any mention of that anywhere on Jezebel, which is odd.

It says right in the article that not all of Clooney’s close friends are independently wealthy, that many of them are struggling to support their families. Clooney was being a very good friend to them here. So I don’t get the nasty snarky tone of this article.

If men of color had not broken overwhelmingly for Jones in this election, he would not have won. What this election shows, as Trump’s election also showed, is that race is a far more relevant factor than gender when it comes to support for progressive candidates. You can’t say “Men in general voted for Moore, women in…

Heller’s story about Martinez is the first time a prominent woman has been publicly accused.

Why is “Love Yourself” misogynistic?

I agree that she isn’t this paragon of talent some people make her out to be, but she is still really fucking talented. And if you compare her to other super-popular singers/performers, she really does stand out. I mean, in a world where Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are incredibly successful, I really can’t hate on…

Bill Gates gave away more than 40 times as much to charity as she made last year, so she’s got a ways to go.

I agree with your broad point, but can we please stop using “gaslighting” as a synonym for lying? Louis CK wasn’t “gaslighting the public”. Gaslighting is a very specific sort of abuse where the abuser tries to make the victim doubt their own experience and memory, perhaps even their sanity. Louis may have been doing…

That sounds like a story about a woman physically assaulting Quavo, not a story about the Migos not being good to a woman. Now maybe Quavo did something terrible beforehand that precipitated the attack, but we don’t really know about that. In the incident the reporter saw, it doesn’t sound like Quavo (or any of the…

It means he’s genderqueer.

Do you think it would be a good thing at all if, say, the average pay of female CEOs in America rose to the same level as the average pay of male CEOs? I mean, CEO salaries in America are obscene and unconscionable and a contributor to a massively unequal society. But I still think there would be something worth…

Read the article. That’s not his tone at all. He clearly says that he wishes he had been more responsible, that he was a shitty person for ignoring what he knew and that men like him need to stop tolerating misogyny in Hollywood. I don’t see how any of that can be read as Trump-esque braggadocio.

OK, I know this is going to be an unpopular comment here, but I’m going to try anyway. I’m a black person (not American, though) so I’m very conflicted about this, but I can’t help feeling that the way people talk about this woman or Rachel Dolezal displays a troubling lack of compassion and empathy.

You totally misunderstood the point being made. The picture is of the former editor’s staff. Campbell’s point is to show the lack of racial diversity in that picture. As you said, everyone is white. And she’s hoping things will be better under the new editor. She is not making a point about gender distribution at all.…

Yeah, an American icon who said she’s crazy about Donald Trump because he isn’t politically correct. Fuck that rich old white lady.

Except her apologism for repressive Islamic regimes shows that this is not just about personal choice for her. She seems quite willing to overlook the enormous oppression of women in some Islamic nations. Take, for instance, her tweet praising Saudi Arabia for its maternity leave policy and how that means we shouldn’t…

If she said that she wrote it when she was 20 in college, she’s lying. Sarsour is 37 years old. She was 20 in 2000. Twitter didn’t exist until 2006. The tweet in question was actually posted in 2011, when Sarsour was over 30.

It’s really not nonsensical to say Serena might lose to Tursunov. It’s not even implausible. Tursunov is no slouch — he may be ranked 701 now, but he has been in the top 20 before. And in other physical sports where you can directly compare achievement across genders, there tend to be thousands of men who perform…

It’s perfectly OK to like rosé, sure. That doesn’t change the fact that it objectively sucks. But hey, we all like some stuff that is actually terrible, so live your life.

The number I was talking about is not his net worth (which would rely on a vakuation of his companies) but his earnings for 2016. Income earned from the profits from his companies (and other sources), not wealth based on attaching a value to his assets.
