You recognize that women also have these experiences in households where women are tasked with the child-rearing/discipline, yes? And I think you’re exaggerating how quick broader culture/society is to acknowledge misogynoir, etc. It’s possible to hold women who abused you accountable for their actions without…

I have to wonder if “having it all” made it harder to seek professional help or confide in friends and family.

I have a new dip (to me) that I love: avocado mango salsa. 3 avocados, 2 mangos, some strawberries, half a red onion, lime juice, and a jalapeño. Eat it with some blue corn tortilla chips or get fucking fancy and put it with some grilled tilapia. Yum.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but there’s a difference between acting progressive and being progressive.

If we allow black women to sleep, then we allow black women to dream. Can’t have that.

SAME. I mean, not exactly *rejected* because I generally don’t have the stones to proposition men myself, but I rarely get hit on and have never been in a relationship. I’m 24 and have been on 3 dates in my life, two of which were actually just meeting some guy on Tinder. I didn’t see either of them again (mutual- we…

I love how people are piling on you for making an ironic and obviously hyperbolic comment that you obviously don’t mean on a story where men actually have and are still killing women. Like, dudes, look at the harrowing facts of this real story about real people dying for male entitlement...and then harp on a chick who…

Also, why is his user name and info scribbled out? People need to know exactly who these hateful, disgusting creeps are. They don’t deserve to be protected, especially when this guy is literally advocating stalking as a “fun” hobby.

Couldn’t they just hire an actress who is already that size? I mean, Charlize is good, but like. I’m sure there’s tons of amazing actresses who never get roles because they are over size 4. (Apart from the amazing actresses who are starving themselves to stay skinny just to get/keep roles. Hire one of them and they…

YESSSSSSSSS

When the author scuttles back to Brooklyn, is she aware that the land there is equally sacred, and that she’s using it without awareness of those who lived there before European contact? There isn’t any place in the Americas where this isn’t true, whether or not there are walking, talking reminders of that fact.

Provided the whole clove isn’t withered and used up. You can avoid that bitter flavor entirely by removing the sprout. Which ads very little time or addition effort to prepping garlic.

I think part of it is how the word “problematic” is used in the first place. Better to name the actual problem (“the artist said something racist”, “the artist raped someone”) than to use a term so broad you could virtually always apply it (or at least make an argument for doing so) to the subject in question.

I went to see the Seattle Art Museum’s Andrew Wyeth retrospective, dazzled by the length and breadth of his career, until I hit the Siri Erickson pictures. These were a series of nudes he did of her starting when she was 13.

Three other complaints were lodged against this man. That’s a hell of a track record for a non-rapist.

Nothing worked, Alec.
Bill Cosby raped women his entire adult life. He had busloads of accusers. He was taken to court by the woman whose “case it was to prosecute” and the motherfucker still walked out.
Danny Masterson still has a job. He has accusers with the same story.
Clarence Thomas has a job for life and Anita…

I live and work as a lawyer in Canada, so I don’t know what the fundamental principle of child protection legislation is in America, but here each province has its own legislation. What all of those different Acts have in common is, the fundamental principle of child welfare/protection legislation is to protect/work…

While your white woman is getting raped at Harvard, my black man is getting raped in the prison he’s been statistically destined to arrive at since birth. The wage gap increasingly favors WW over BM. And contrary to what you believe, black men were not granted full, unhindered voting rights until 1965, four decades…

First, a rich white woman has a better chance of being assaulted by a rich white man than by any black man of any social status. People more often than not tend to congregate towards the social customs and cultures they find the most comfort in, and most crimes tend to happen within the communities by members or close…

Not to mention she may have been doing better when she had children, or the kids may not be hers-I had next-door neighbors growing up who “had” 7 kids-because their brother and sister-in-law died in a crash and left 5 kids in addition to their 2. You’re not going to leave those kids to the foster system, with the…
