Good points, but I think one of the problems with Chait's article is that he conflates silencing with disagreement. Like, the kids who harassed the Omar Mahmood kid who wrote the article about "left-handydnyss" (hilarious, by the way) were attempting to silence Mahmood through harassment and intimidation. But that's a

There's only a chilling effect if you let there be one.

There is, undoubtedly, a conversation to be had about the shit that goes on in social justice-y, identity politics-y circles, and I'm upset that this bonehead had to be the one to write this essay, but... there are still some valid points

The problem isn't people who make boneheaded mistakes. The problem is that when they're called on it they pull the "I'm sorry you were offended." rather than "I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I won't do it again." When/if you say something offensive to a large swath of people, own it, apologize for it. Fix it. Don't

Hey, I'm sure he doesn't hate anyone. He just wants all the women and minorities to shut the fuck up and focus on real priorities, as defined by him, for their own good.

I think another part of it is a misunderstanding (or willful ignorance of) what it means to be a bigot. People like Chait seem to think that because they don't literally hate all women/minorities that they are necessarily not bigoted, which is utter bullshit.

The un-ironic use of phrases like "political correctness" or "White Guilt" are tell-tale signs of a person's inherent racist tendencies. The author of that article is either one of those "too stupid to see I'm racist" racists or one of those "too cowardly to admit it" racists.

I don't agree that magazines are for "people with brains" and online publications are for, presumably, the opposite. There is an abundance of intelligent material on the web. There are plenty of flowery, ass-kissing, material with no intellectual value found in magazines and newspapers. There is a push by old

You snatched that wig right off.

I think it's less creepy when you consider the sad fact that many of us unfortunately have this ex.

I literally have no idea what she does except make me jealous with her amazing butt. When I first heard of her she was a model/Kanye's girlfriend.

Your post is very creepy because you described an ex of mine from many years ago. Except instead of 30 seconds it was 3 second and he thought I came. No seriously. He thought I did.

Every time Zach Braff talks it just reminds me that he's probably the kind of guy that will only go down on you for about 30 seconds (long enough for him to feel that means you should have sex with him) and be completely lackluster at both, but still demand to know if you had an orgasm during each (not that he wants
