I’ve always been annoyed by the apparent media fascination with terms that are very rarely used in real life. We can’t just read about restaurants offering food, we must consider “eateries” offering “fare”, for example.

You can intellectually know that’s bullshit. But the nagging doubt will always be there.

I don’t understand the hesitancy from pregnant people. The doctor that’s been guiding through your pregnancy is recommending you to get the vaccine. You trust him with your pregnancy but not with that? What the fuck?

People think the punishment needs to fit the crime.

Congratulations Cancel Culture, you successfully stopped a mental health non profit from receiving donations. Please pat yourself on the back.

Jamie got pregnant at 16. Officially, the father is the guy she was on-and-off dating at the time, who was two years older than her. There have been rumors that that was a cover-up and it was actually by a producer on the show instead, but no real evidence. The kid looks a lot more like the ex-boyfriend than the…

They should take her money. Money is good. Money helps them help more people, no? What is this supposedly serious charity organization doing making decisions based on unconfirmed gossip?!

I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s kind of a shitty trap that I can see a lot of them falling into. Like Oprah, as she mentioned. Or Kirstie Alley. You lose weight and get a sponsor and I would imagine at that point the pressure is immense and the fear of falling off the wagon is immense and it all snowballs…

Ok so....he based his stand up on his life. And? That’s supposed to be wrong? Unusual? It was his ACT.

John’s ex-wife isn’t responsible for curing his addiction, either. And if memory serves correctly, he’s the one who asked for the divorce and blindsided her. 

She didn’t leave him, he left her. THAT is a known fact, and the rest sounds like you projecting all over the place.

It’s sucks that it will be gray but once again I have to say that I think this case main thing is that Jezebel and some commentators suffer from huge POV Gender in this case and because they empathize with Anna Marie Tendler, they judge it this way. Jezebel covered Olivia Wilde’s leaving Jason Sudeikos for Harry…

I’m glad Tendler is finding the time and space to express herself and make silly videos, and I hope she gets a jillion followers, meets someone new, and is fabulously happy (same goes for Munn and Mulaney.) 

“No expert at trial stated that her drug use caused the miscarriage,”

The issue around criminalizing substance use during pregnancy is that 1) it supports personhood of the fetus, which flies in the face of being pro-choice, 2) it is not supported by science. Animal model studies show that light cocaine use is less harmful to the fetus than chronic stress or living in poverty. We will…

But if she hadn’t miscarried she wouldn’t have been tested - wouldn’t be in jail.

You’re trying to make a distinction that isn’t there. They convicted her for manslaughter based on drug use BECAUSE she miscarried. According to NAPW’s press release, they didn’t even conclusively prove that the drug use caused the miscarriage. If you don’t consider that to be at all worrisome, I don’t know what else…

And is more likely to lead to pregnant women with drug problems not seeking help.  

They sentenced her to four years in prison for using meth? That’s still pretty barbaric.  

Seems to me Jezebel is actually the party trying to pit women against each other: Feldstein never said she doesn’t know who Michele is, yet somehow that’s the headline Jezebel decided to go with.
