I knew a guy like that too and wasn’t traumatized by him either. I think it can be true that drunken frat boys sometimes wave their dicks around without intending to hurt or intimidate anyone, maybe even thinking they’re making themselves the butt of the joke, and it can also be true that it’s sometimes done…

I disagree. Their authorship, breadth of coverage, analysis, dedication to old-school on the ground reporting, remains class-leading. They may not get the oomph across in some stories, or not emphasize the points you think are most important, but I think their original reporting still sets a standard, and props up…

The etiquette you follow is that it’s good and gracious to simply say thanks to the people who offer condolences. Any normal human being would have ignored SJP’s condolences or simply said ‘thanks’ and moved on. Kim has serious issues.

Really... is that the message we’re gonna send out to our young girls... that teenage pregnancy is something “cool” and “exciting”to aspire to.

“Trans women are women, and what I’ve been trying to say is that it’s the same. The stats are not that dissimilar. When you break it down, it is a much smaller population. There’s not a network here devoted to your fucking death.”

So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?

I really wish he had left it there. And while I understand his pain and what he was trying to do, it’s just male aggression (justified or not) that serves to traumatize everybody and continue Nassar’s victimization of these women and girls. I know it’s not the popular opinion, but his daughters looked horrified when…

“libtard” is one of those disgusting slurs that instantly causes me to stop giving a damn about whatever point a person is trying to make. Do you actually hate mentally disabled people, or are you a 16 year old trying to be edgy? Try to elevate the discussion a bit, you might find it more satisfying.

Painting is NOT his strong suit.

As a suicide prevention advocate and a suicide loss survivor, I urge you to follow guidelines about reporting on suicide, which include not including method of death, especially in a headline: http://reportingonsuicide.org/

Responding to this as I agree that this is an important point.

Woman nominated 4 times for an Oscar = $1000

Wonderful. They’ve found a spectacular way to encourage male performers to stand behind #metoo.

Ah, yes, the seductive call of the wolf-whistler whispering his “hey baby, nice tits” at the ladies who walk by and the subway Casanova pinching the goods as one would a melon being considered for purchase. Ah, such is love, such is seduction!

i mean, i WISH our biggest problem right now was men being too gentlemanly....idgaf if a guy holds a door open for me. heck, there’s a gas station by my house...i dont think i have ever touched the door handle. somebody always gets it for me, and i say thank you. that’s definitely not what i’m outraged about.

“Cack-handedly?”

No one has a problem with sex and seduction, IN THE PROPER CONTEXT. What part of DON’T DO IT AT WORK is so fucking hard to understand? And if you are trying to seduce a woman and she’s giving you clues like “NO” and “PLEASE DON’T” you know, maybe you suck at it.

That’s what sexually aggressive men needed: Women defending them.

What’s more romantic than watching your boss jerk off into a plant??? American women JUST DON’T GET IT!

When I first saw the headline I panicked because I thought she was dead. Then I was momentarily happy she wasn’t dead. Then I read the rest of the headline and article and kinda wished it was the first thing.
