But...”y’all” is awesome. Gender neutral, universally applicable, and hearing it or not lets you know how likely an establishment is to have good sweet tea. Come to the dark side!

Goddamn it Y’all, I say Y’all all the time!
Second sentence: agreed. First sentence: may I ask why? I don’t want to make assumptions about why you feel that way; that seems like a pretty strong statement about a legitimate (and very useful) plural pronoun.
I doubt that. He was one of the few country stars to speak out after Charlottesville, and specifically praised Heather Hayer’s mother for her strong words about her daughter and the attack. He seems somewhat rational compared to other republicans. But maybe the bar for rationality is just low these days.
This year in gif form:
Maybe he qualifies as such in 2017 because he hasn’t raped anyone.
Jeez. Imagine living in that perpetual state of anxious fear that something might happen to you. Those poor, poor men.
I don’t even understand how they can claim to not understand what is or isn’t appropriate? We’ve all gotten perfectly acceptable compliments from men—“I like your hair/That’s a pretty dress/Hey, cool sunglasses”—so we know the vast majority of them actually do know what is or isn’t appropriate. This is such a…
If what happens at your work party is confusable with sexual harassment, you should definitely not do it.
Seriously. The answer isn’t to avoid being alone with women. The answer is to be able to be alone with a woman without acting like a creep.
I believe that the same article (or another similar one) spoke of (to me) a far more worrying development. Men following the “Mike Pence rule”: Never be alone with a woman; and do not attend gatherings with women where alcohol is served — either without one’s spouse (or at all).
I adore Four Wedding and a Funeral but think Notting Hill is boring as hell with a few good, short scenes. You are not alone.
I mean if you’re going to link anything, you should be linking to this:
Wow I’d never seen that, but I did just finish binge-watching The Newsroom and immediately recognized that they recreated this interview in the show - I hadn’t realized this actually happened in real life. I cannot believe she actually spoke the same words they used on The Newsroom, which I had totally. assumed were…
No offense, but if I was a victim of sexual harassment (or pretty much anything else), I would be much more likely to go on record with a 166 year old print newspaper journalist than I would a website journalist. Especially if it meant that fucking it up could mean the end of my career or libel lawsuits.
This line “When things like the Harvey Weinstein stuff comes out it makes me think about it,” just really got to me. It’s so true, sometimes we bury things as no big deal, and time and circumstance forces us to readdress things. This recently happened to me, when my boyfriend and I were on a break, one of his friends…
Nobody is saying not to ask questions. The criticism is for going forward with publishing a story that is at the time admittedly without a shred of solid evidence. “Some people are saying that they’ve heard other people say Person X did this thing” is not reporting or journalism.
People have the right to tell their own stories when they are ready to tell them. Reporting those stories without their permission, reporting them as rumors or “open secrets” is unfair to the victims and can even undermine their story when/if they’re ready to tell it. It may actually cause harm to the victims. Why…
No, as I’ve said before, if there is a rumor they should have jumped in with both feet. They should have gone to female comics and male comics. They should have talked with workers at comedy clubs and festivals. They should have made the fact that some rumors have been disavowed by women while stating that the fact…
I’m sorry. I like this site. But to be clear, you have been horrible to Kirkman (including linking to a rumor she specifically denied several times when writing about CK) and you did go about journalism the wrong way while the NYT did it the right way.
