The thing I find so confounding about the complicity of USAG/MSU/USOC is... why? Once the allegations started to surface, why keep him? Did this shitstain appear to offer anything special? Did he seem to possess unique skills above and beyond the average sports medicine practitioner? Or was it really just the purely…

Good for Aly for having the courage do to this!!

I just want to thank Deadspin and Jezebel for giving this the frontline attention it needs and deserves. Other outlets are giving it so little attention relative to its importance it is very disheartening.  I listen to the radio in the morning on the way to work and you would have little idea this was happening if…

Enh, apparently relations between the mother and daughter were so bad she sent the daughter to live with her father. So I’m going to give the mom the benefit of the doubt and say she wasn’t trying to raise a nasty racist kid.

I think trying my best to raise a good person and then having my kid turn out to be an asshole would be a nightmare.

Aw, good for the Millennials to have their own younger generation to think are stupid and over-parented! Welcome to the club!

Geneen Roth has a fantastic book out called Lost and Found that’s about the deep resistance she has to being conscious about money and how crazily reluctant women are about discussing it. She lost her money in the Madoff scandal, as did many of her friends, and about a year later when she asked how everybody was doing…

Fucking thank you. Salary transparency is a large part of solving the gender pay gap. But, excuse me, discussing money in mixed company is sooooo vulgar. Ugh. Fuck this guy and everyone like him.

“ Let Pompeo revisit this subject when SHE’s 75.”

Are you trying to miss the point?

The only people she’s trashing are the studio execs who will promote somebody as the new “it girl” while actually paying her crap and leaving her with little to show for her work and supposed success once they decide it’s time for a new “it girl.”

Just a sub point here: we should be very wary of framing any silence (such as Mariska’s) as to remuneration as “classy”. While that has been the upper classes’ preference for many hundreds years (and is a pervasive idea in etiquette), it can make it a lot more difficult (if not impossible) for women to get a sense of…

Seems like a gendered way of saying women should shut up about things. “That’s not classy” = “I don’t like what you’re saying.”

read some of the other comments. faye was on grey’s for a season and i imagine ellen would only bring her up out of familiarity with her.

dude. it’s not a discussion when you only reply to the people who agree with you.

This is how they keep us down. Same thing is said about politics too. Fuck em all.

You need to take a seat. The culture of “classy” is nothing more than a scam to silence women. Good for Ellen Pompeo for talking about income disparities.

Ding. Ding. Ding. It wasn’t a dig at Faye, except for people who can only imagine anything said by a successful woman about another successful woman must be a dig because, bitches.

It really seems like this has hit a nerve with you, and maybe your personal connection to the content is framing how you’re perceiving the interview?

Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”
