The ageism was definitely sexist, but then Silverman went up and did some racist jokes towards Aziz Ansari if I recall correctly. Only Andy Samberg emerged unscatched with his satirical approach. But it is a roast, after all: the name of the game is to be as politically incorrect as possible, it seems like.

Everyone is o npoint about the hypocrisy of her statement, but can I just say something? I don't feel like this is complaining about it. I think she's sharing that it's something she suddenly realized, that wow, now I'm a woman who isn't young and so now I'm the target of these jokes. That's not complaining; that's…

I just had my highest income week of the entire year! I also worked for 10 straight days and had a 13.5 hour day on Friday and a 10 hour day on Saturday, which meant I couldn't really celebrate Yom Kippur, but I think I'll be forgiven for that. For anyone going to Coterie in NYC this week, come say hello to me!

You either love this movie or you are wrong.

Yeah, I'm glad she's calling out misogyny, but I wish she'd be a little more self-aware that the way she feels about being mocked for being an "old lady" is probably the way minorities and LGBT people when she and other comedians make non-stop racist and homophobic jokes. Like, its not that hard to make that final…

Miss Virgin Islands is going to break an ankle. She needs about 173,000 hours more ballet training before she does that in pointe shoes.

I genuinely do not get why society as a whole seems to see having sex with a trans person as being the same as being gay. A trans person is some one who WAS ONCE a man or women but is now the opposite or is transitioning toward being the opposite. Even if you're one of those people who get hung up on how trans women…

Seriously, anyone who buys into the idea that sartorial standards somehow protect girls is still drinking the patriarchal Kool-Aid. Skip the sermon on clothing, and spend some time giving your daughter the third degree about the actual risk factors for sexual assault. "Some guy who is always weirdly nice to you will…

Rather than teach "No means no", Why not teach that only "yes means yes".

A girl from a nearby town disappeared from her lifeguarding job when I was in high school. She was sixteen years old, and they've never found out what happened to her. I was about the same age, and would undoubtedly have been at the same disadvantage as her when the person who took her approached, since we were both…

Krav Maga comes to mind. It's a very functional martial art form, and basically designed to 'disarm and harm' to create a get-away opportunity.

Oh noes! I better go dive under my covers right now! I'm only wearing shorts and t-shirt while I slog through my grad school reading! I better wrap myself in that bedsheet before it's too late! Or wait, maybe it is too late. I do have premarital sex. Which, I have been told, is the #1 sign of "not respecting…

A thousand times this. My daughter is going to learn BJJ as soon as she turns five. She'll be a highly trained killer by the time she's twelve.

I'd like to see some actual data on what a woman/girl was wearing when she was a victim of sexual violence/rape/molestation/etc. and whether the perpetrator claims the victim's clothing was a factor.

Because here's my thought - the clothing probably has NOTHING to do with the fact that a woman/girl was attacked or…

I see a lot of people saying that this isn't that bad because the dad just wants to teach the teenage daughter to "respect herself" or to "understand her dignity" or whatever. What I am not seeing is anyone making a compelling case that wearing short-shorts and respecting yourself are two mutually-exclusive things. …

Your daughter's going to be at risk of sexual violence when she's wearing jeans and a t-shirt at a phi sig party and accepts a beer at the tap from a frat brother. just sayin.

I don't really agree with you. I stopped wearing skirts and dresses at age 13 or 14 (except for prom). I still received a lot of unwanted attention in my teens and early 20's. Young women get attention because they are young. They don't know how to deal with attention from boys their own age let alone older men.

The daughter was embarrassed and didn't want to go inside with him to the restaurant.

Trying to embarrass someone into dressing differently isn't shamming?
