I agree that Leah Remini is a badass. But when Leah Remini was Elisabeth Moss’s age, she was a loyal cultist spewing Scientology propaganda. It took her decades to figure out that her “religion” was actually a mind control cult. She gives me hope that Elisabeth Moss will see the light one day.

That’s totally different than the situation Elisabeth Moss is in. The church doesn’t label children Suppressive Persons just for not joining. If Elisabeth Moss, a prominent Scientologist, were to leave + speak critically about the Church, she would undoubtedly be declared an SP and her family would be required to cut…

No, they won’t kill her parents, but they are powerful enough to tear apart families and ruin lives and careers. Yes, Elisabeth Moss is in a morally compromising position, but hell, I’d probably do worse than tacitly endorse Scientology if it meant saving my relationships with the people I love. If Elisabeth Moss sees…

Easy for you to say if you have not been in her shoes. She said in her letter that she is in no state financially or physically to get a divorce and raise a baby as a single mom. She obviously needs—not wants, needs—the money + housing that her marriage guarantees her right now, not to mention the time + energy her…

You wouldn’t be saying this if you knew about her history. Courtney Love is an abusive psychopath.

The reason why this matters so much to me is that saying gender must have been the principal deciding factor in this election takes the pressure off the Democratic establishment to ask how they need to change so nothing like this happens again.

OK. The biggest thing I take issue with here is this: you say that Hillary Clinton has done “nothing that any reasonable person would consider scandal-worthy.”

Do you truly think most men are misogynists? I get why people start getting cynical about mankind after spending lots of time reading blogs like Jezebel, where we are inundated with stories about hate and discrimination towards women (Jez reader here, not hating, just observing), but more than half of men…

You missed the point. It seems like the world is going mad sometimes. That is so not at all a contradiction of the statement that the USA is not the world. Just an acknowledgment of the very simple and undeniable fact that crazy shit is happening elsewhere too. There are right-wing, nationalistic, isolationist…

I was using “Land of the Free” ironically.

Actually, this election made it clear that even in the USA, Land of the Free, there are a great many people who are drawn to authoritarianism + xenophobia—just like everywhere else in the world. I don’t know where you live, but chances are that if you look within your own country you will find that these elements are…

Hillary lost and she is a woman. This does not mean she lost BECAUSE she is a woman. You are missing a step in logic. Half of Americans are female. Of the other half, most are not misogynists. Yes, we will see a female president, but the first step to achieving that is for us to choose a quality female candidate. It…

Hillary did not lose this election because she is a woman. If Hillary had won, Trump supporters would have claimed that she only won because she has a vagina and they would have been equally wrong.

Does anyone else see the irony of the fact that the photo is re-posted here, with only the boy’s face blurred?

It is not an insignificant bathing suit. It is a provocation of radical Islam, which is emerging and wants to impose itself in the public space!

Here’s the thing though: there are wealthy parents who, despite having had lots of advantages, have had it harder than you. I know next to nothing about your parenting experience, but I say this because there is ALWAYS someone who has it harder. And b/c you said “at times it’s exhausting.” I think this is probably the…
