Truly, the person who compared this to Larry Nassar’s systematic abuse of girls and women needs to get a hold of themselves. That they thought one very successful woman’s bruised ego was equivalent to the pain caused to tens of women who were sexually assaulted multiple times is incredibly insulting to his victims. 

A Bret Stephens level of fragility is a good place to start.

“Inclusion absolutely matters, in the classroom and outside the classroom, but yelling at a single woman with absolutely no sway in the publishing or academic worlds, is not the way to get it.” 

I was particularly disturbed by Dessen’s tweets about how this one young woman’s opinion was ‘mean and cruel’ and had ruined her day. It seems this 50 year old woman has less emotional maturity than the 15 year old kids she writes about.

The problem with this is the power difference. Bestselling, millionaire authors with large fan bases are attacking an unknown college student and pretending the criticism actually hurts them in any real way. It doesn’t.

Right? Someone has some Google alerts for their name mentions.

how in the world did this writer find out about this article to begin with?

Deadspin usually has sports?

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

These dogs are most certainly more deserving of human compassion and love than say, Jim Spanfeller (who by the way, if you didn’t know, has an email address: jim@g-omedia.com). That stain deserves to hear why a dog is more noble and deserving of human love and affection than he is.

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

Being a “free thinker” in Kanye’s context means, “my ignorance is as valid as your knowledge”. It’s not.

Kanye West hangs with Trump, defends Bill Cosby but Taylor Swift is the enemy...okay lol. West was the one who called her ‘that bitch’ in a song while acting like it was going to be a compliment. Keep sucking his egomaniac dick though.

This has been one of the best written DC books since Rebirth. But yeah, your one panel examination of a book purposefully written to read like it has been translated from Mandarin into English, except where the text specifically indicates English words, it changes my opinion completely. I can’t believe I let the…

Its part of the main DCU. China decides to (in a sense because it involves secret organizations) make a knockoff Justice League starting with Superman, Batman, and Wonderwoman. Thing is the story is really good with allot of mystery and really good character development. Even Kenan starts off as a real jerk but they…

The Chinese Superman character isn’t Kryptonian though. And when he was first introduced he was very much an arrogant bully.

i meant as a symbol for Chinese Super-Man. Yeah, it doesn’t work for Kal, but I’m still surprised that I haven’t seen it in Hot Topic.

the yin and yang S shield is a brilliant “why didn’t someone thing of that before” idea. Big improvement on his original shield.

I am incredibly curious as to how they’re going to make this work. So much of the humor revolves around tricking the mind into trying to paint a mental picture of something that’s either literally indescribable or that turns out to be different than described. I mean, if nothing else, the entire camera crew is going…

I’ve been watching her interviews with Raniere on Youtube and I can see exactly what you’re describing: super kindhearted person, with an extraordinary need to be a good student. I wish I could feed her something high in calories and then give her an injection of much needed meanness. Raniere is such a chicken eyed,…
