This week Sanne Wevers finished her (gold medal winning) balance beam routine and started calculating her score on paper. The dumb guy NBC commentator some thing about her writing in her diary and the gal NBC commentator (who is likely a former gymnast) had to correct him and explain she was checking her score. She

Hey, 50% of republican women think sexism is done too.

What? How the fuck does one preclude the other? Christ, that’s ignorant!

The perception gap is so fucking real and goddamn depressing. We see it on a macro and micro level.

...what. Haven’t those assholes heard of intersectionality?!

Fuck to them.

Republican men don’t think women face obstacles because THEY ARE THE OBSTACLE.

Right? As someone who lives in France (though I’m not there at the moment), I think we should be doing everything we can to encourage Muslim women to participate in public life. The burkini is already an encouraging sign of compromise to Western society.

This is the policy equivalent of punching down.

Nah, she’s spent her entire career dealing looking nonplussed while people say nasty things about her. She’ll be fine.

If you mean John Oliver then you can show yourself out!!! He is a goddamn treasure and your opinion is wrong!!!

One assumes when Hillary Clinton says that sexual assault victims have a right to be believed, she means by the authorities etc. when they report. Because a lot of women have a hellish time with the police and whatnot placing the burden of proof on sexual assault victims and re-victimizing them. And I also agree with

It’s puzzling that so many people are angrier at Hillary than at the man actually accused of rape. And that includes the alleged victim.

If Ken Starr didn’t bite on it, it’s probably a nothingburger.

I think Bill Clinton got a lot of sex, before and after marrying Hillary. I think 90% of it was consensual, and when he was younger and stupider and the times were different there’s probably a solid 10% that we would consider today to be date rape or worse. In that way I believe Broaddrick and it seems it has affected

I have no idea if Broaddrick’s allegations are true or not, but her story is credible enough, and should be treated with sensitivity and seriousness.

I don’t know if Bill Clinton raped her or not, but I do find it odd that she seems to focus so much on ruining Hillary’s career over the issue. Her evidence that Hillary even would have known about the incident is shaky at best - Hillary shook her hand and said thank you, in what was perceived to be a menacing tone?

I’ve had a thing for him since I was just a preteen watching 3Rd rock from the sun. He seems so sensitive like he’d listen to how my day went and really care what I say afterwards. Like he’d rub my feet and tell me I look great when I wake up in the morning. Like he’d support my hopes and dreams.

I don’t think she’s really annoyed. She just seems to find it humorous.

Didn’t read it as annoyed, just a funny anecdote with dramatic irony.
