Other girls we knew let their boyfriends open car doors, pay for things. They liked to feel safe. We, on the other hand, liked to fuck with men, and also with each other, heckling each other’s boyfriends and thwarting each other’s attempts at romance for kicks.

Here are some more complete quotes from the original interview. He was obviously talking in general terms.

What you would call ‘challenging’ in a woman, you’d surely call at least borderline ‘abusive’ in a man. My rule; people who are ‘challenging’ should accept an equally challenging partner. This is not what I’ve read out of this. She’s been looking for a human Piñata who will simply absorb anything she levels at him.

This is the full paragraph from The Sunday Times:

Oh, and to continue the rant. . . .The current Gawker piece also misrepresents him:

Bingo. Jezebel occassionally publishes articles describing events or situations that, in their minds seem reasonable, but actually makes the author/subject seem petty. An article Lindy West did a few years back about her experience getting on an airplane come to mind.

There can be a fine line between being challenging and just being an asshole. This veered into the latter territory (and I don’t even mean the boner poke, which was just insecure and weird).

Translation - “I’m awesome, I’m always right, ALWAYS and don’t you tell me otherwise! I also expect nothing but perfection from the men I deem worthy of my presence, b/c I’m also perfect in any way. Have I told you that I’m never wrong about anything? Compromise is not for me, let THEM compromise to me, since…

Yeah, the normalization of jealousy is sort of sad. There is nothing wrong with feeling jealous or insecure, but there is definitely something wrong with expecting the people around you to constantly adjust their lives to accommodate those feelings.

You are 100% correct. And those who are saying that he “walked back his statements” are 100% incorrect. We actually don’t know what his statements were.

This election is toppling into mania, mob mentality and frenzied threat-making on every side.

He has no right exposing the victims who confided in him. And by naming a perp, it is almost certain the victim(s) will be exposed.

He says that he wasn’t abused, though, so it’s hearsay. There are two possible scenarios here:

Someone else mentioned in another post that they stopped greyscale in Stannis’ daughter, so ser jorah may be back eventually.

No, it won’t. It will be lead by a great goddess born of falling-star fire and glacial waters. Whose fierce femininity and righteous power will quake the world asunder, allowing precious metals from the Earth’s core to flow freely into the stylish pocketbooks and handbags of women all over. She, the Unnamed, will…

I love the phrase “umbrage machine!” I’ve been using the immediately-dated “outrageosphere,” but yours is better. Also, I like Hillary Clinton and think you’re being too hard on her. But that’s okay! We are together on Sarandon. Maybe we should just vote for her.

You keep using trickle down like you know what it means. Susan Sarandon is not the government; she is an actress. She’s not obligated to speak on anyone else’s behalf. Her speaking is not preventing low income women from speaking.

The question about valuing Lawrence’s work was quasi-rhetorical, but the answer is obvious: nothing. Lawrence’s value says absolutely nothing about how we value any woman’s work. It speaks only to how we value Jennifer Lawrence.

Why not? They are the ones who have the least to lose. Or do you suggest that women working minimum wage jobs should be the ones who put their source of income at risk for speaking up?

Same here. I know several white people who have this sentiment. They are the same one’s who say they don’t like rap but like some Macklemore and Iggy songs. These people definitely exist.
