Who do you want to atone or acknowledge the fucked up shit that went down with Hogan? TheRoot quite literally has nothing to do with that.

The Root was not under the umbrella of Gizmodo Media Group company at that time, (they came in after Univision bought the media group) and it really doesn’t seem to me like Anne would have been okay with any of that.

His standards are higher than that half melted candle.

It doesn’t even seem like a tough call, she’s on record at having dated three members of the administration or campaign. This is a point where, if her fellas weren’t such reprehensible villains, I would say that it is kind of normal for a single person, working a high stress, time consuming job in their twenties to…

I’m an Old (41) and I assure you skinny jeans didn’t exist in the 90s. Flared jeans, bootcut jeans, and wide JNCO style was about all you had to chose from in the mid to late 90s. Oh, and tapered jeans but those were deemed hideous by most.

“So, if there’s even one decent ICE agent”

Toxic white masculinity+unfettered access to assault weapons=much more to come. This seems an acceptable price to pay by most Americans. We love our guns more than we love our kids. #shithole

Hi! Friendly neighborhood litigator here! This isn’t so much a burn on Taylor as it is an accurate statement of copyright law. You can’t copyright short, commonly-used phrases, because that’s not really what the law is intended to protect, and the law shouldn’t be used to create monopolies on super-common phrases…

Maybe it was for personal use- you know- like when you buy the 5 lb jar of peanut butter at Costco...

This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

Please dont refer to WOC as “monkeys” - I dont know how you thought that is OK?

while I agree with your sentiment, getting your daughter vaccinated for hpv does not imply she or you are sluts or deviants. It may very well save her life one day. And it’s likely better for her to get it young; once she’s had a certain number of sexual partners in adulthood (a by no means large number, either) she…

Any good doctor would have made that recommendation. You thinking he was implying you’re a floozy does not make any sense.

I could not be happier you aren’t my mother.

I could be wrong, but based on the other quotes I have read, I’m guessing he is not acting like this is something Black people just came up with one day. It makes sense that he would mention where colorism obviously comes from.

Ah, you thought this was a personal attack on men like you, huh? You assumed an attack.

It’s implied in the condescending tone of “normalizing casual sex” coupled with isolating men as the ones who are going to “maximize their rate of said sex.”

It’s comes across as “well if we only normalized committed, monogamous sex, men wouldn’t act this way”, which kinda just places the responsibility on the women.

So it’s the women’s fault that these assholes are harassing them?

I turned down a date to an art museum with a guy because his sense of humor amounted to little more than, “ Men have only three emotions: horny, hungry, and tired”, and actually fixed his mouth to say that humans haven’t evolved that much.
