For the first time, I don’t know how to move past my boiling anger or laugh it away. Also for the first time, I have no desire to.

This is a great review, but since it’s taking this film (sorry, “film”) seriously, I’ll take the review seriously as well and make one correction: the introduction of sanitary indoor plumbing is not “patronizing tech-based neo-colonialism.” Lack of indoor plumbing is a major impediment to health, economic development,…

Only the very rich can look so very cheap.
It’s like Liberace’s even gayer cocaine dealer was given millions of dollars and 30 minutes to decorate.
You know what’s funny? I actually had to stare at this for a while before I realized his hands were smaller than usual.
This exactly—the national news media spent this entire election perplexed as to why anyone would consider voting for Trump (a view I happened to share), but for all of their thousands of think-pieces on the subject, they never really made a concerted effort to listen to people about their reasons or understand them.…
Um, no...she has not been talked about “just because” of her body type, but rather that she has no cognizable skills or reason to be famous beyond flaunting her body type
I think they have a right to be upset--Portlandia portrays them as being obtuse, humorless and self-righteous, and obviously they’re far, far worse than that, as their “statement” demonstrates.
But the suit wasn’t over the texture of her hair, it was over the hair style. Which is obviously not a significant difference in the present case, but was critical for the 11th Circuit, which noted that hair texture is (or could be) an immutable characteristic, but not hair style, even if largely historically,…
Your actually complaining about public shaming on Jezebel? Welcome, that’s what we do here—Jez is just mad that someone else has gotten in on their game.
One correction: Christian women. See, when Muslim women wear burkinis because their patriarchal religion tells them that their bodies are shameful, it’s not the same, because white liberal guilt.
Also, love how we dont care about cultural appropriation (with Japanese characters and everything) as long as its someone we like this month
Serious question: your argument is very often made in a variety of contexts distinguishing between the “court of law” and the “court of public opinion”, i.e., not innocent until proven guilty, no confronting witness/anonymous accusations, etc....so here’s my question—if we think that these principles are important to…
So, at the risk of revealing too much, I was at the Donald Trump rally in Jackson, MS last night—any questions?
You mean the rules of France, or the country they left where they could be stoned in the street?
You’re joking, right? I mean I get your point, but its not like Islam magically spread all around the world over the years, you know? How do you think the Middle East and North Africa became Muslim in the first place?
Um, not that I disagree with your larger point, but if “conservative Jewish and Christian women” is your example, then yes, it does seem to qualify as “religious wear.”
Ladies, remember: whoever rocks the largest ring is Queen of the Office. Most people don’t know this, but the real reason HRC is up in the polls is because she got a full-on Jamie Lannister gold and diamond hand.
I said the same thing up-thread: Brazil has definitely used this to obscure the other verified incidents of crime against Rio athletes.
