Knowing you can get paid by your employer for committing a crime on their watch is a huge morale-booster for the C-suite set, I expect, so this is obviously in their best interests, the turds.

Yeah, that’s a pretty universal problem for really rich, really abusive dudes, though. Don’t do shit people can ‘blackmail*’ you over and you’ll be just fine. We all of us know women are rarely given a credible platform and corporate-backing for this sort of thing until a third party wants to use the truth against one…

Sure, dude. A thirty-plus year cabal to rob you of the fuck-off money you were always planning to get right around this time. Somebody should look into whether that witchy 13th* Doctor is involved.

It only exists as a problem when it threatens some prominent male person’s bottomline. Otherwise it’s domestic trivialities, locker-room talk, sewing circle gossip, the kind of thing you might regret existing but, then again, what do uppity women expect? Take the possibility of it away and the ballbusters will run…

Leslie is a good man and a loving father, devoted husband and inspiring corporate leader.

Exactly. Like, yep, Les, that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s glorious. Women backing each other up, spurring each other on, as they say out loud what you did to them.

Can Kathy Bates pull a Misery on them, too?

So you have no idea what you’re talking about? Venus reacted the same way when Ramos accused her of the same thing. As have many players.

Oh, and about that fine Williams was assessed? Excessive compared to what men get for LITERALLY THROWING COINS AT AN UMPIRE. For LITERALLY SABOTAGING THEIR OPPONENT BY SUMMONING A TRAINER FOR A FEIGNED INJURY.

Well, yeah, obviously both were censured, otherwise why would they be complaining and about what?

Nadal told Ramos that exact thing at Roland Garros in 2017. And Murray called him a grandstander, which he clearly is.

“I mean, we have not interviewed her”

Why in the hell do you keep mentioning the call center you worked at?

Thank you for this. 

I mean, who killed a chair umpire and who hit another? ‘Twasn’t the women. They’re too busy being shamed for exposing a crowd to a shot of their sportsbra as it dutifully conceals their dirty pillows.

Speaking of men who find women and what they know about them inconvenient:

And as for the background in writing this, Frida, I think your experience also illustrates the ongoing, never-ending problem. “Young journalist,” indeed.

Critics also billed her as an oversharer—an irreparably gendered term

The act itself is no worse than yielding to sickly-sweet BBQ sauce when the vinegar-based goo is objectively better, but that she framed this as a grooming technique (it’s really weird, don’t tell your parents or other adults, I might go to jail, this is our little secret, my dad taught me all about this) is mildly…

Why can’t someone rescue The Village Voice instead of this congratulatory, glossy bullshit?
