This whole piece reads like you essentially agree with him, but then discredit his opinion because he's a white man with an audience.
I'm offended.
Well, okay. But that's a circular argument. If you had a regular column in New York Magazine, with millions of hits for every article you wrote, then people would care about your opinions too.
You're inferring a lot of qualities onto Chait's piece (like smarminess, unconsiderateness, supposedly demanding that you shut…
ull be hearing from my lawyerz
Not over a "verbal faux pas," but over a personal essay that I felt very strongly about - I wrote an essay about what it's like to be a woman with an eating disorder trying to navigate body-positive spaces and how complicated it can be and ended up getting a TON of suggestions to kill myself and messages about how I'm…
Exhibit A: Taylor Swift is hacked
It's a taillight *AND* a radar.
Is there any mundane and perfunctory aspect of human existence that won't inevitably be made even worse by some douche-bro app inserting itself as a vacuous middleman?
$4,000 for that repair! That would be a hard sell for me to get that fixed.

Thank you. And hey, lots of women feel this way too so can we stop it with the intellectually lazy habit of dismissing everything we don't like by saying it was written by a white dude, so there's no way there can be anything valid about anything he says? It's that kind of immature, irrational siege mentality that…
I truly hate the term "political correctness," but the thing is, there's a grain of truth under all this. The internet HAS produced a chilling effect among leftists, especially aggravated by social media and how easy it is to tweet "Kill yourself" at someone who makes an honest mistake. Writers, comics, satirists, and…
Ugh. This is pretty... tonedeaf. At parts I was like "yea feminist sister in arms" and other times I was like "omggg noooo."
Also, anecdotally, I actually once went with a male friend who wasn't tipping the dancers and I fucking lost it at him. What kind of moron thinks he just gets to sit around? Oh, you paid a…
This seems so complicated and stressful for both ends. Customers don't know exactly how much to give and tip and to who, dancers don't know how much they will end up getting that night. UGH. I went to a strip club once with one of my clients who handled all the money stuff but if it were just me alone I would be…
$40 bucks is her advised amount? I guess her friends are leaving after an hour.
I still (not so) secretly hope that one day Pratt will do an animated Burt Macklin, FBI show on Adult Swim or Comedy Central. Probably not as long as he's making Star-Lord money, though.
