You mean sick people. You’re saying that because you aren’t getting free shit sick people shouldn’t get medical treatment. I was a tech exec and made over $200K/yr. I had a very healthy savings- all eaten by medical costs, every bit, when I became disabled. Had great insurance too. Their priority is getting well you…

Ignaz Semmelweiss. I read A Cry and the Covenant when I was young. Great book, partially fictionalized to limit the sad end for the doctor. As a teen I was shocked that students, even in medicine, were never allowed to ask questions. I highly recommend that book. Thanks for the reminder!

Tl;dr “I knew it was wrong, but not like that wrong.”

Refreshing how? He admitted he knew and didn’t care. He only said if he were a better person he’d done something about it, but didn’t. He perpetuated it. Is this how low the bar is?

I didn’t not mean to do that! I’m sorry if I made it seem like people who use wheelchairs can’t fly, they absolutely can and do. I have a friend who uses a powerchair and has traveled all over the world. Everyone’s situation is different. Do some research on her care and needs and start calling airlines. Research…

Many cannot and have to hold it or wear a diaper. The bigger issue is that most people in powerchairs who fly end up with the airline breaking their chairs. I only know of one person who was able to sue several times for that. Most of my fellowdisbled people just don’t fly because of all of this.

Excellent points, all of them. But why just be a regular white douchebag? Go full Bruce Wayne and get the money and toys too. Then retire.

I use daily to travel a lot for work and I’ve seen major airlines break out the strollers for shorter delays than that, as long as they were gate-checked, which hers likely was- because how else did she board with three bags and a baby. It must have been gate-checked and easy to get. They do the same thing for…

Other white people feel the same as you. “White guy with dreads” is a worse insult than douchebag in whitelandia. It’s a clear sign his weed is dirt. Not that you asked, or that me saying even matters, jus saying they scare me too, especially on a plane.

Yes, but...when you’re a woman you have to rely on your gut because predators are truly everywhere and most women have encountered them. So a comment like the one you replied to might either be a gut reaction or how they would behave in a jury. We hope no one is convicted based on those kind if statements, because we…

Thank you. I’m remembering when I was drugged and raped in college and my women friends at the time calling me a slut. I’m remembering my husband a few years later, now my ex, hearingme recount the horror and blaming me, slut-shaming me repeatedly about it. I’m remembering that after telling my friends and being…

I got moved back to greys on Jezebel after I posted a note to a writer asking why they were still doing white-take stories on police brutality and racism instead of just linking to The Root. Welcome to to a very exclusive club.

I know you can’t hear me over the applause, Michael. It’s still going, and every bit deserved! This whole exchange was truly beautiful to read. Thank you for using your words so masterfully, amidst a hurricane of hate-insanity. I’m glad you can laugh and roll with it, turning a racist slab of moldy driftwood into…

I just came to say Jezebel but you did it better.

Corn chowder would be the nastiest display imo. Then crush up the crackers in your fists (cuz shit soup doesn’t come with good bread) and throw that on. Perfect mise en place!

Mainsplaining is denying the accuracy of an actual expert simply because they are also a woman. It is typically followed with more argument that the non-expert is right over the actual expert, because he cannot fathom she would know more than he knows.

I’m praying for the cabinet to pull amendment 25 on his ass and kick him out.

You forgot:

You assume his wife didn’t know. She’d be the only one who didn’t. That’s how he got her in the first place.

NOPE! You’re the problem. Your mindset that is shared with others is the problem with South Africa, or really anywhere you’d choose to live
