Now I just think you’re being obtuse because you feel like being a dick to someone. No where, in any part of my post did I claim being a CPA was EXACTLY EQUIVALENT to sex work. I spoke of one similarity I saw. You’re being ridiculous as well as a huge ass.

I’m not exactly sure why you’re attempting to stigmatize sex work to the extent you are here. Sex work is a job in which a service is rendered in exchange for money. A CPA renders services for which they also receive compensation.

Right, because she’s the one who needs neurological testing...

Strongly disagree that that was shitty! She didn’t at all say that her frustration with others’ reactions to her job is equivalent to having PTSD. She said that aspects of the authors’ experience are relatable for a lot of people-- the way identity is subsumed into career, the defensiveness, etc.

So I’m having the…

Did no one else watch the 7 hours she was in front of the Senate committee on Benghazi? Regardless of if you think she was telling the truth/is an evil murderer/just don't like her- it is pretty clear that she is fully functioning, cognitively speaking. Compare that to say, Ronald Reagan, who was in the early stages…

You obviously don’t work in the financial services industry.

It’s literally the first sentence of my post. People make assumptions about a person based on their job.

If I hear another goddamn lawyer joke...

I feel the same way about this. Him placating her with a proposal after perhaps a few nights of feeling as though she was going to bail on the relationship doesn’t make for a good marriage. Proposals should be based on a mutual desire to be married, not because one party starts stomping their feet about it.

I have mixed views on this. On one hand, it sounds great you are getting what you wanted. On the other, it sucks that this means he has to do something he doesn’t want, and I can’t think of a many relationships that work out when one partner feels forced to do something to stay in the relationship.

Everyone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO upset about the divorce of the century.

Longtime Jez fan, first time poster. I created this account just now because Jackie was a casual friend of mine and I’m the one who sent the story into Jezebel. Just wanted to say thank you so much for using my tip and posting her story. Jackie was a funny, charming, kind young woman and we are trying to get her story…

no

I believe it’s Laura Richards who says “stalking is murder in slow motion.” We have to start treating stalking, dv, and sexual violence as huge red flags for murderers :(

At first I read the title and got excited because “Alice in Goetheland” sounds ridiculous and amazing but alas, alas.

He makes me so angry. He’s not a “prankster” as he fancies himself. It’s not clever to grab unsuspecting women. And it doesn’t matter that she’s surrounded by people; the natural reaction is fear for her safety. I really wish her security had knocked him out.

ugh that video of gigi getting grabbed just made me panicky. what a fucking dickhead. good for her for not putting up with that shit. her boxing lessons are coming in handy.

i’m sorry but i cannot understand why they chose to NOT set this movie in fucking england. they even got Emily Blunt! WHY. why do this to me. the drinking culture in the UK combined with the adorable little pre-mixed g&t’s really made the story for me. It was somehow more believable when i thought it was set in…

This is the kind of reporting that you guys used to do that makes Deadspin unique, cutting edge, and different (“better”) from most mainstream media outlets. Good to see you getting back to it. Nice job.

That’s just the thing, isn’t it? He’s been able to skate past all these accusations of really heinous crimes (on top of other scandals related to his political and business dealings) without any serious repercussions for years and years, the way the rest of us might shrug off parking violations. It’s incredible and…
