This guy’s comments are making me seethe so hard, thank you for this concise and eloquent call out.

Wow, eleven people on this oh-so feminist website starred your condescending comment. Pat yourself on the back.
I have been screaming this (shrilly, yes, even hysterically!) since last year, and I’ve been told over and over by people I otherwise agree with that she was such a BAD CANDIDATE. SO CORRUPT. It doesn’t even feel good to be vindicated at this point.
I’m fascinated by this guy and his stupid comments because no matter how many people point it out to him, he remains unaware that he’s a huge jackass. It’s kind of incredible.
It really does hurt. I keep reading these because there are so many insightful and critical comments like yours, but it stings seeing Jez promote these self-absorbed women. Narcissism shouldn’t be normalized, nor should neglect.
Yes, this. She’s going to a more mainstream news channel so she can keep selling white supremacy to Ivanka voters. It’s so obvious and so disgusting that people want to give her a pass.
I have to take issue with your summary of The Little Mermaid. Ariel had six or seven older sisters and was way more likely to rule Prince Eric’s kingdom than her (tyrannical, controlling) father’s. Yes, she fell in love at first sight with Eric, but she never would have seen him in the first place if she hadn’t…
That’s not fair. Vince Gilligan wrote “Small Potatoes,” Darin Morgan just played the monster. Also let’s not forget that showrunner Chris Carter wrote a heartwarming episode all about monster rape. Not sure what my point is, I haven’t seen the episode yet so I still want to defend Darin Morgan I guess. I might feel…
Grabbing your kid in one hand and your girlfriend’s throat in the other is not “physicality” that “happens.” I guess the argument is that it’s only abuse if it’s constant, and that just because a guy slips up and chokes his girlfriend out once, he’s not an abuser! Reminds me of the Duggar’s “molesting a couple kids…
Honestly, Bugs was quite the seductress back in the day. He probably taught Exaggerated Performance of Femininity 101 at Acme Looniversity.
I used to do the “hands on hips,” “look how glamorous I am” poses alllll the time when I was a little kid in the early ‘90’s, and I know EXACTLY where I got it from:
I don’t know, doesn’t he have another heir on the way from Fat Walda? It might have been interesting for Sansa to kill Ramsey and then, rather than taking revenge for his son he never liked, Roose just locks her up until his legitimate heir is born. Or he could even try to cover up Ramsey’s death, since he honestly…
I actually doubt the beheading was worse for Ned, since for him it was over in a second. Everyone else had to keep living in a world without him :( Also, why is everyone talking like Theon sees Sansa as a little sister? Robb was the Stark kid Theon bonded with, and he even betrayed him. He saw the Starks as his…
I didn’t say she was “ruined.” I’m criticizing the show, not the character. I feel like this is a step backward. Sansa was developing in an interesting direction without rape motivating her growth. All- literally ALL- of the characters on GoT have violence in their pasts; some of them, like Arya, take a hands-on…
The storyline in the books is torture porn, and the fact that it happened to a very young girl is vile. I’m not trying to say that what happened in the show is worse because it happened to Sansa. I think it is unnecessary to have it happen at all, to anyone. Jeyne doesn’t get any character development, so what happens…
That is really stupid, especially considering that Theon isn’t even the first Reek and Ramsey has been doing this kind of shit for a long time. Also, Littlefinger’s been in love with Catelyn forever, why wouldn’t he have intel on all the players in the North? Doesn’t make any sense.
Does Ramsey count as a prince now that he’s married to Sansa? Because that would be delightful.
You’re right, it is horrible when it happens in the books. I think the reason I find this so upsetting (and I haven’t watched the episode, I have read all the books though) is that, when the showrunners said they were diverging from the books’ storyline, I thought, “Great! There’s a lot of things they could tighten…
When someone links to infowars.com, there is nothing more to say.
I put it in quotation marks because I was quoting the article. I haven't researched it myself, but I assume exposure therapy takes place in a controlled, therapeutic environment. I'm not saying it's not a legitimate method if done properly, but I don't think being accidentally triggered in a classroom setting should…
