What does the kid who thinks he’s a fox say?

But has anyone made a Hall & Oates “I Can’t Go For That (No Kendu)” joke?

Patriarchy is toxic to society at large, even if some individuals (all of whom are men) benefit in terms of their power, influence, and wealth. If a very powerful and privileged man in an especially patriarchal society feels he has no choice but to behead his daughter for falling in love with someone who wasn’t chosen

Jessamina is weirdly invested in minimizing this pretty awful reaction, and I don’t get why.

I’m so pissed that I have to comment again.

You are being more ridiculous than you might suspect. English is my second language and I was born in a third world country outside of North America. Whoa at your silly assumptions.

You can “see” how people might dismiss a frightened and crying woman because she’s upper class?

“Thought she was being overdramatic.”

“Thought she was being overdramatic”.

Ahhhh yes, Trevor Noah. The person who most likely had nothing to do with a tweet sent out by social media staffers. He is the true villain here.

I’m sure he’s not writing their tweets...

You couldn’t be more wrong. If he found someone striking, he would photograph them, whether they were wearing high fashion or a highly individual outfit with no labels. He photographed all ages, all backgrounds. He was interested in everybody. Watch the documentary so you at least know something about the person

Oh bugger off. He lived in NYC and shot fashion there, the stuff he liked. He didn’t have to like everything ever anywhere on the planet, nor shoot all of everything everywhere. It was not his job to make every human in NY feel pretty, nor every human on the planet to feel pretty. Sometimes (I know, it’s shocking)

Bill Cunningham by Janice Dickinson.

Like all New Yorkers I have Bill stories. He always covered events at my work. One of the best parts of working an event was greeting Bill (and the worst was watching thirsty women throw themselves in his path to get photographed*, something he clearly hated but was too much of a gentleman to comment on). One never

Genuinely saddened by this news.

This man was the last of a dead breed of gentle, unjaded, and genuinely curious people living in a brutal environment that long ago ceased being accommodating to the creative and imaginative. Yes, New York, I mean you. See you later, fine friend. Thanks for the mirror.

Just no words. Fuckin men and their hatred of women and their stupid fucking everything. Dear men, goddammit, just stop. Fucking stop it. Sincerely, a man who just don’t get it.

That’s interesting. The initial report I saw suggested they just asked to be recused and he granted it.
