This was a sensitivity training seminar, narrowly defined as focused on the subject of police interaction with transgender individuals! What more specific environment could there be for the need to use the most convincing and non-confrontational language?

I think the male officer is just trying to say “My wife and close friends and family do not have police brutality problems, so why would trans people?”

The problem here is one of using language to achieve the intended goal of understanding, rather than spark debate. Both the officer’s question and the Captain’s answer were inartful. His poorly worded question clearly implied that he doesn’t even understand how a statistic about oppression is derived and interpreted,…

I’m not sure how to start this, Jezzies. Especially, given the fact that this issue should’ve been put to rest last week.

Hi, Jezebelles (and beaux)!

I had written about this story about a month ago in a long Twitter thread where I named serial predators like Bryan Singer, Michael Bay, Terry Richardson, etc. Poor Gemmel, it seems like once again the onus has been put on Moore’s family to keep the investigation open and find justice for the murder of their son. It’s…

This is up there with Nancy Reagan’s Just Say No campaign in terms of insultingly simplistic sloganeering approaches to thorny (seemingly intractable) problems. And Melania brings hypocrisy to the table as well.

The right has been so busy coopting the word “bullying” to redefine it as “being intolerant of my intolerance” while redefining actual bullying as “first amendment rights” or “sincerely held religious beliefs.” So count me as skeptical of ANY anti-bullying push from the right.

Yeeeahhhhh. John Kelly and I were born the same year. We’re both 67. I don’t ever remember women being “sacred.” I do, however, remember being catcalled, harassed, fondled, called names, threatened, and paid less than the men I worked with. He and I are obviously remembering things differently. Gee, wonder why?

The first question that comes to mind is, do we really want President Mike Pence? I think not. Donald Trump is overall very ineffective due to his lack of political skill and his abrasiveness. Mike Pence would be far more skillful in moving the country in the wrong direction.

It sounds like you’re going through a hard time right now, so I’m going to link to my favorite post for times like these: Everything is Awful and I’m Not Okay. Hang in there. We’re here if you want to talk.

I’m not a lawyer, but I think no-fault divorce is an option for people that want a divorce and don’t want to give a reason. Adultery is a reason to sue for divorce, it’s just not required. I hope you talk to another lawyer that can give you better options, especially if there’s proof of cheating.

The letter is an acrostic which spells out “RESIST”

Okay folks so I *know* it’s gonna come up and I’ll just try to get ahead of it here:

W Mag, either figure out how to spell CRYOTHERAPY or pick one spelling and make it consistent through your article. woooow.

Copy editors—they matter, y’all!

Is it just me or is there in fact a marked correlation between owning/driving a BMW and major douchebaggery?

Her head is very large.

Right, Rey is like, so boring and not interesting to play as, whereas I have always found myself deeply passionate about, and highly invested in, small metal thimbles and top hats. I mean, have you heard about Thimble’s backstory???

HerRoom.com has a nice “quiz” to take to help one understand what shape yer boobs are, what bra style will be comfortable/give you that shape you want, looking at your shoulder shapes, abdomen-shape, super helpful. The Lingerie Addict’s sight is helpful too, though a little less straightforward for figuring out one’s…
