“Precisely because you and your family go through life without ever being hassled for no reason, it’s understandable that you don’t see those who are routinely hassled. This seminar is to make you aware of issues you might not understand or even know about.”

My personal favorite.

I will never miss an excuse to post this tweet.

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

Thanks. My skin suffers from cystic acne more than blackheads but the kenalog shots are well covered.

I’d be praising the NYT right now, they’re the real winners.

Yeah. This is the part that doesn’t sit well with me about this article. I never assume a victim is lying, but I need a victim before I can make any assumptions. I feel like this article paints the commentariat as sexual assault apologists which is mostly disingenuous.

I got it mixed up with the other paper that broke a story about a famous man being accused of sexual misconduct. Me culpa. My point stands, though, and your (and Jezebel’s) attempt to deflect from that point based on a trivial mistake is frankly pure cowardice.

I will not condemn a man on rumor alone.

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

I work in abortion care in Texas and have been following this case very closely. I work with (and know personally) the staff at Jane’s Due Process - and they are really really incredible people doing marvelous work. They are the agency that helped her with her bypass and obtaining the abortion. Please give them money…

Are you Mexican-American? Or were involved/aware of the tejano/corrido/cumbia music scene before her death? She was HUGE before the crossover. Maybe white or younger folks only care about her death, but please don’t say “we” and mean to include everyone else.

I wouldn’t say this is true for Spanish-language radio and other media. I still hear her songs (including her English language stuff, which pops up on easy listening stations) on the radio every now and then. And lots at parties.

They also get literally unpaid labor from grad and undergrad students.

Actually, it was your comment that she (paraphrasing here, because quoting people back to themselves is also a dick move) should dump him, go out and find some good dick, and then train that guy to do dishes or whatever, to which I was responding.

But her mom put herself in that position, really. If she’s so concerned about her reputation she shouldn’t be trolling her new friends for gifts for a woman and baby they’ve never even met.

Would you rather look back at a great seven year friendship (because that’s what this is, if you really think about it)

People are piling on the LW here and I think it’s because they’re paying attention to Jane Marie’s misread more than the letter itself. LW has had no issue writing thank you notes to this point - she’s just saying that this gift barrage from friends of her parents that she’s never met is getting to be a little much…

The person who wrote in can’t have romance without sex and that’s what everything is speaking to. Not as a mention of everybody’s damn relationship ever.
