I’m going to just repost what I said yesterday over on Gawker’s article. I’ve highlighted the part that any anti-vaxxer reading this should pay close attention to.

Despite any personal acrimony the first Aunt Viv was clearly superior in almost every way.

So, is this Jezebel’s way of warning us that Natasha Vargas-Cooper got an exclusive interview with Renae Plant where she doesn’t ask any follow up questions and will just print whatever stream of consciousness rant that falls out of her mouth?

Exactly. Like, when your parents would ask, “Is there something you’d like to tell me?” and you confess that you got into the liquor cabinet and they’re all, “Oh, I meant that you drank the milk out of the carton but cool, thanks for the free confession.”

Wait, is something going on with Bill Cosby? The television and jello star? I consider myself fairly up to date with current events, but I haven’t heard a thing.

“I had no choice really. I’ve been black and a woman all my life. I have worked in this business for 20 years. I’m 43. It was one of those things. Literally in that moment, was I going to risk public humiliation, bringing up this opinion, or deal with shame and excuses: ‘You let that go by?’ That’s a big…

She had her gloves off and was behind a boulder - sounds like she died answering nature’s call. How awful, and what a way to go. It’s easy to lose your balance popping a squat in narrow places.

Still waiting on the news to discuss when and how he was radicalized...

Like those who are replying to you - who can really know?

Ultimately I find it empowers groundhogs.

When I was younger, I really, really, really loved Lost In Translation.

She’s venting to a national advice columnist, though, not to her friends. I’m generally wary of LWs who can’t self-edit a bit in that format. If that’s what comes out when she’s sat down to write an email, I’m curious what’s been said in other contexts

Your brother sounds very interesting. I would like to donate to his gofundme.

I think you may have seriously misread the OP if you think she was saying men lead “carefree” lives. She seems to be talking specifically about how women shoulder emotional labor, which is literally what this article is about. This isn’t the space to throw in that men have it rough too, emotionally. Trust me, we’re…

Be careful. I’m sure you don’t mean it to, but your comment sounds extremely victim blaming. There are mountains of evidence that women tried to come forward and were shamed into silence — that’s not “lying there and taking it.” We “modern” women should not claim our independence by trampling on the backs of our…

I wish they would do less of the oddball challenges and throw less curveballs at them so the designers are not losing their minds from exhaustion, and that they can just design some beautiful clothing for its own sake some time during the season. If feels like they push them mentally for the drama rather than…

A lot of the problem came when they switched to Lifetime and one day challenges became the standard.

A lot of disabled people have spoken out about this phenomenon. Needless to say, it’s pretty terrifying to see, especially when the child and the person have the same disability.

I really liked this piece — I think it does a good job of bringing out some nuances around trying to be a good, diligent partner. That said, I really need to point out some trends in the comments section that are representative of what happens in every comments section on the topic of sexual behavior.
