Growing and changing = “being more closeted to avoid angering people”. Gah.

During the awful thing that was the RNC, I swore all the white blonde ladies looked the same. And I say this is a white blonde haired lady. But, seriously, they looked identical and it was creepy.

i think she wanted to use the n**ggA to be hip but ended using the one her parents use at home

I have been looking at this pic for a good 10 minutes and I can’t tell them apart. I am bad (awful) with faces though. If that was someone’s dating history, I would feel 100% confident in my ability to pick out the next girlfriend.

I think in the very beginning they were cheap. Here is a picture of the very first Miss America.

Right? I’m 34 and I’m like, nope. This kid looks like he’s in high school. I imagine he smells like Axe body spray, hair gel, and weed. Or, like, an Abercrombie & Fitch, Red Bull, and the Febreeze his mother sprays around his bedroom. Nope.

I remember reading that Condit tried to use Dick Cheney as an alibi because they had a meeting that day. But it came out that the meeting ended well before Chandra left work. Then there was a meeting with a reporter but it turned out that meeting happened the day after the murder. So, essentially, no alibi.

That’s always been my gut feeling.

I still think he had something to do with it. Shame.

Still do not understand/remember why Condit is not a suspect. If I remember correctly, he didn’t have an alibi. Does anyone else remember?

Well the main thing is - being pressured doesn’t equal consent. She clearly felt pressured and broke and he took advantage of that and he had leverage over her in the form of a video tape that he locked in a safety deposit box. Sex slaves are often paid, too. Even the underage kid sex slaves are often paid, as I…

You can understand what is going on, and it is still coercion.
You can be paid for what is done to you, and it still assault not prostitution.

She could have had a dozen ways to rationalize her decisions at the time and afterward, and that doesn’t make what he did acceptable.

That’s what grooming is all about, a predator…

I don’t know anything about the more theoretical ideas you’re exploring, but I think the atmosphere surrounding Ailes was brutal. Terry Gross interviewed an author who wrote a biography/expose of Ailes. He said that the staff at Fox assumes their building is bugged and that Ailes himself monitors conversations, that…

“Ailes demanded that she engage in sadomasochistic sex with another woman while he watched.” Aisles has gone from a run of the mill harasser to predator. This is fox news, the channel of “family values”. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

And, let’s be fair, all of the best Country songs about shooting your woman in a drug fueled rampage have already been written.

This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

“Political correctness” has existed as long as humans have. There have always been people you didn’t dare disrespect. The only difference now is, more people are demanding their rightful respect. Boo hoo.

Gyms are not the only form of exercise. That’s just what gym owners want you to think.

We have been fighting. And every time we do, depending on what country we’re from, we’re either accused of being spoiled and man-hating, or radical and dangerous. People act like if we cracked the code and embodied some unattainable ideal (not too pretty, not too loud, not too ugly, not too uppity, not the wrong…

Also, why do women deserve harassment and what do you actually think them “getting it” (meaning understanding first-hand the full effects of harassment) will do, exactly? What “change” are you speaking of? Again, the underlying suggestion is that if women Only Fought Back, we’d’ve achieved equality by now. It’s like…

That’s especially stupid considering she is a Scientologist and their entire religion is about keeping things silent.
