You’re right, there’s absolutely nothing to see here in terms of gender. Male and female politicians are held to the same standards, and their actions are judged equally. Please keep us posted with these piping hot takes.

Not great is how I feel every day.

Why is Trump engaging in shenanigans to avoid paying $500 million in taxes something small?

I wish I was surprised. I wish this would change anything. The underemployed person from West Virginia is no doubt cheering the president on as sticking it to the evil government. We need a serious shift of societal perspective on government and its role. We can’t leave it to those who would drown it.

I think Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have been dating for a while? I’m fairly sure it’s been covered in Jezebel previously? But I also get that it’s so boring white people on boring white people that it has an amnesiac effect.

Boy, I can’t wait to read the article in Forbes about all the money you can make lying about sexual assault.

I absolutely fucking hate him. I don’t know what else to say at this point.

CALL IT OUT, dp4m. this is bullshit. I did the same thing. This man has shortcomings and I am suspicious of him, but goddamn it, he’s not stupid and he’d never lie about something this big that would ruin him. He knows how to fight the pigdog GOP and let’s face it, it works. They fear him and they should.

I know we were all hoping to avoid this, but if this moves to a vote, it is up to women (and the men who support us) to FUCK SHIT UP. We have to donate to democrats, call our senators, volunteer in key senate races (you can volunteer for Beto even if you don’t live in TX) and protest when and where we can.

Every so often you see people declare themselves one of the good ones, one of the true Republicans who believe in fiscal conservatism and small government.

BaE reads like he wants the chance to break up with her. The comments about how the tables have turned with him being out of her league (to, what, her being out of his league?), and how he needs to confirm he’s out of love with her. I think it’s less about closure, and more about being the one who got dumped.

I really don’t understand why so many people ask the question “Why wait till now to come out with this story?!” Is there EVER a “good” time to reveal that an assault occurred? Along with the physical and emotional scars of such an experience, it leads to the victim being labeled as a liar, as a whore, as a con artist…

Paul Feig will also produce movies where the relationships between women are important and the boyfriend/romance takes a back seat. See: Spy, The Heat, and in fact, Bridesmaids is mostly about the relationship between the women. The wedding is an end-of-the-film setpiece, and the romance is pretty much B-plot. Also,…

I really fucking enjoyed his Ghostbusters and there’s not a single takedown piece I have read that detracts from the pure enjoyment I feel watching four professional women inventing stuff, solving problems, making jokes, and supporting each other, all while (shockingly!) failing to pander to the male gaze.

I’d very much include 2014 in that, because if people hadn’t sat on their butts and stayed home, we might have had a democratic Senate, and thus Merrick Garland confirmed. It still galls me to this day that there were people dismissive of the warnings, in states like Colorado, that the Republican candidate for Senate…

“Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay.”

I don’t know if it’s been called out here yet but...get the fuck out of here with this disingenuous ‘she hired a lawyer back in August’ bullshit. That was last fucking month, but he tries to make it sound like it was just aaaaages ago and she’s had soooo much time to prepare. Fuck that and fuck him.

A big old fuck you to all the assholes who didn’t vote in 2016 because “both parties are the same”.
