He may be gay, but he’s white, and a centrist. His sexuality is no indicator of true progressiveness.

Anyone who describes Beyonce’s dancing as manic is probably in the same crew that didn’t realize the impact of Bobby Brown on an entire generation of Black women in our teenage and young adult years.  Jezebel was the same website that described him as a one hit wonder in the aftermath of Whitney’s death.  Beyonce’s…

I’ve definitely seen people be called a TERF for acknowledging that. Which kind of dilutes the term, I think. As long as people are being respectful about it and acknowledging that trans and cis women have unique experiences and unique challenges, I’m not sure how that is being exclusionary.  

Also, while there’s support for parents of trans kids now, there really wasn’t until recently. It is significantly more gutsy to support your child when there’s no external support for either of you, no roadmap or published guidelines, no one to talk to about it, etc.

So, she reveals that she supports trans people and that she’s learning and trying to better herself on a topic and human condition that she wasn’t familiar with for most of her life. And the takeaway here is that that’s “not pretty”? The purity tests are unreal.

I am genuinely curious to know what exactly makes this statement transphobic:

What on earth. This woman can’t do anything right. I’m sorry her honesty is not pretty enough for you. (pretty enough!!!!! How did you end this piece saying that!) 

Women are so dramatic and overly emotional about death threats.

Reese Witherspoon is a sexual assault survivor. There is no proof to the allegation that she paid anyone off. She also hasn’t been with Ryan Philippe since 2006 (divorce finalized in 2007). They share custody of their kids, but I haven’t seen anything in the complaint that they were a party to seeing anything that…

I think you describe this phenomenon well and true, and I don’t think it lessens the truth of that in the least to allow there’s a related phenomenon that dudes in that messed position will definitely attract some young, unstable women with ambitions that are messes too. Shit’s complicated and messy. Add alcohol and…

You hear over and over a million times that Males are the great evil on this planet.

I’m getting shades of that Richard Simmons podcast

Good GOD.

“I hope you all can understand.”

Edited to add: it is hilariously British of you to show up in the comments just to defend the honor of the Aga, bless you, good lady

Hi, I’m the Julie who lives at that truly amazing place Ponden Hall. Your article, Kelly, is right in every particular, BUT I can brook no criticism of my most excellent Aga! Cooking times are highly predictable; temperatures are boringly uniform, and, rather scarily, I fear that without it my cake-baking superpowers…

Ah, she filed in May 2003. After you file, it takes a while to divorce. I think the overlap is only technical. They officially began dating in August 2003. It didn’t last long. It’s a rebound. I don’t think “Jennifer Garner cheated” is a supportable Hot Take. I don’t think she needs to have cheated to be more than a…

Ryan Philippe? Jay Z? Tiger Woods? Leann Rimes? Jude Law? As far as I know most of these people didn’t have photographic evidence of them cheating on their SOs, but they eventually confirmed rumors. But Garner and Foley have both denied those rumors. Garner and Vartan only dated for six months between 2003-2004, and…
