Exactly what do you think a grand jury is? The evidence has been examined by 12 citizens and they didn't find enough evidence to initiate criminal proceedings. And apparently comprehensive records as to what went on are being released. Why don't you wait until there's time to go through it until you demand a trial?

I'm all for anti-bullying measures and education regarding consent and what not, but I still don't understand all the pressures being put on schools to deal with what should be issues for the legal system. That's where the outrage ought to be directed.

It's regional/cultural. That's not to say that it doesn't happen everywhere, but that it more often happens in particular places.

Who the fuck doesn't like watermelon!?

We live in a culture, in many cases, that still calls a father taking care of his children "babysitting" rather than "parenting."

That said, I don't know why they are still bothering to do a study like this one, since I remember reading one just like it fifteen fucking years ago

Where did you grow up that an apple was your only vitamin intake for the week? There are plenty of people who have eaten healthy food for the entirety of their lives. I'm going to go ahead and say that Oliver's kids probably have easy access to apples.

because it always reinforces incredibly narrow standards as to what constitutes a "bikini body." Of course Kazanstev has every right to feel empowered and be proud of her body. She should be! The problem is that there is one type of body people can be proud of: a pageant contestant's body.

Maudite Americain. Suce ma bite!

Her reasoning for not being a feminist was a belief in equality between men and women which illustrates a complete misunderstanding of the label that is more in line with the misdirection created by opponents of feminism (predominantly opponents who do not care about the flaws you addressed, but rather opponents…

I think I'd just rather see women move away from the "being feminist means I don't support men" line of thinking, like Salma Hayek seemed to do

If not to gain equal political, social and economic rights for women, what do you see as the purpose of the political movement that calls itself feminism

That she doesn't identify with the political movement that calls itself feminism which is the same thing a good portion of the celebrities who don't identify as feminists are saying. There is a difference between the academic definition of feminism, which exists as a theoretical ideal, and the movement feminism which…

Perhaps rather than being dismissive and imagining what you think they mean you'd be better served by trying to understand what these people are trying to say.

Maybe instead of simply dismissing their clearly expressed opinions you might spend some time trying to figure out what they're trying to say.

The intelligent women in question are making a distinction between the academic idea of feminism (equality for all) and the political movement feminism. One is a cut and dried definition. The other is a movement composed of thousands of people with different opinions that has to prioritize goals, decide how they're…

There is a distinction between the political movement feminism and the more academic definition of feminism. That is the distinction Hayek is making when she says she's not a feminist. Rose is either being disingenuous or obtuse.

What your describing is pretty standard for edgy, "progressive" media outlets and exemplified by Jezebel and most of its writers. They're perfectly happy to stoke the flames of indignant rage at any and every perceived slight, but then retreat and deflect with middle school snark (see below) when they're inevitably…

"Minor setbacks!?" Are you fucking kidding me? That shit was serious.

At what point do we take Janay at face value? She's responded clearly to the incident and would like everyone to leave her, and her husband, alone.
