I got that part of the story, but made my point inelegantly. When this crap happens, someone inevitably says “how could this decision get made and no one said anything?” or “this is what happens when there aren’t POC in the room.” As someone who has been the POC in the big room where stupid/racist/sexist decisions get…

I’m reading these comments mourning the fact that they couldn’t stay together and its feeling like the weight is all on her. Do we have evidence that its merely the fact of his bisexuality that broke them up? It seems he clearly wanted to explore all facets of his sexuality and live out loud. Maybe she needed…

Well, there was that guy who isn’t around anymore. Don’t think that only happens in the one Soho store.

After I wrote it, I realized that this is the first “Becky” item I’ve seen on Jezebel* and this one is here because Plantano Man is hot and to the rescue, not because of the phenomenon.

Corporations happily pay out the victims at the rate of 3.3 million per one-liner. It’s why the economy is humming. Men be joking; ladies be spending.

Alba didn’t want to remove her engagement ring

A female colleague and I went to our boss to complain about the environment created by a male co-worker. Boss said she understood, but maybe we were being too sensitive. So now we just email each other the encounters to have documentation for when he implodes. He also sucks at his job.

I’ll admit I didn’t know her name, but recognized her from multiple films and a lot of people know her as vampire slayer. She’s been in 20+ movies (her bigger roles were when she was younger), while he is primarily a TV actor. Those categories are falling down a bit, but I think movies are still seen as adding more…

I honestly was worried she was going to take out a gun. Now I think she was rooting around for her pepper spray, forgetting it was confiscated.

I didn’t get that either and feel like I have a PhD in Beckydom. I’m guessing that since Jezebel has a high proportion of white, female readers (perhaps even some named “Becky”) they are more sensitive about using the term than say, readers of The Root.

That they seem to be a regular Jezebel reader and don’t know what a “Becky” is does not speak well of Jezebel.

Possible! It then raises the question of why he paid companies to not hire her.

This needs to be at the top.

And the crazy thing is that he’s so short-sighted that he didn’t realize this would affect future projects. So he lost the gig to hubris and then ended up apologizing (after a sort) afterwards anyway.

WH has lots of open positions and he’s a seasoned jurist who hates the FBI, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And who is the other asshole who got off? 

I don’t care about him either. Don’t believe I’ve seen any of his movies even, but so much of the support is self-righteously hateful, that it really upset me.  And you are right that we need to work out this question of forgiveness. I just wish the author had actually made some suggestions.

OH THANK GOD. I thought I was losing my mind when I read that post. And for all of you people wanting to know, “what’s a brother supposed to do?,” this is from my response to comments on that Post That Should Not Be Named.

Honest to Vot, I would buy a pack of those holiday cards. I’m saving my last black Santa card for unemployed white supremacist pin up Megan Kelly.

Dude, this makes me sad. I was reading people’s Twitter takes on Kevin Hart this morning. The most liked and re-tweeted were homophobic trash that affirms the violence of those earlier tweets. You are feeding this ongoing sense that he is the true victim. Why are you connecting a just cause to help someone who helps…
