The thing that I think it’s a little difficult for anyone to wrap their heads around who hasn’t dealt with abusers is that they groom their character witnesses just as thoroughly as they groom their victims. Scarlett has no doubt been subjected to just as much gaslighting as Soon-Yi, but it’s directed to a different…

I was going to try and play Devil’s Advocate based on experience (hey, it counts!), but, on IMDB, Adele actually has more writing and producing credits than Peter, although her writing is primarily TV, Peter only has 3 screenplays to his credit to her 14 - so that explanation is actually NOT A THING!

Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no

But if anyone is unsure of what projection means, there’s a textbook example for them right there.

This right here. So sick of the selective outrage. I get it, Cardi’s quotes make for good copy and clicks, but come-the-fuck-on...if a male rapper did this album cover like this we’d have 4 different think pieces talking about “IS THIS REVENGE PORN?!”

Why is this woman such a big favorite on Jezebel? I don’t actively dislike her, but I don’t get the hero worship either.

Fuck you, Pay me!

OMG the Sam Raimi first Spiderman is the best superhero movie. It’s a great standalone film. You are dead wrong.

So, this person is claiming to be a frequent motorcyclist...and that is what she wears to go out for a ride? Nope.

Exactly. #Boymom is the precursor to “Boys will be boys.”

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…

I don’t get shame from questioning that number. I just don’t understand it. I’d wager the majority of adult men could identify her by sight and know her name. For her fame and popularity, the women deserves a tremendously larger amount of money.

Disagree. I think people feel exposure, as in the number of times you see a clip/video/whatever posted, directly relates to how much money you make. If you see something posted a zillion times, presumably the performer, of whatever stripe, is making a ton of money. I think that’s why people feel so comfortable about…

“The performative Twitter gawking doesn’t come from respect for the work of sex work or a belief in the value of it. It doesn’t come from a sense of injustice on Khalifa’s behalf or a desire to interrogate tube-site economics. It comes from a wish to attach a price to her shame”

The wording definitely triggered my MRA spidey sense.

That being said, I know men who are survivors who’ve fallen into that sphere. It’s quite easy for male victims to fall for their bs. It can take a long time for them to understand how toxic masculinity/patriarchy caused that isolation, and lack of support that made…

You hear over and over a million times that Males are the great evil on this planet.

It sends off alarm bells for me, too. I want to emphasize that I believe Kloss and support him for coming forward. I don’t support his take on gender politics.

Agreed. Not trying to nit-pick his words, but using “females” instead of “women” always rubs me wrong.

I’m sorry for any victim of sexual abuse, and Kloss has my sympathies. This is a credible story of abuse. His rhetoric skews a little MRA-lite though and that’s troubling—I wish he were using his story to encourage more male victims of sexual abuse to come forward instead of saying “Look! Males aren’t the problem!”…

I just watched the trailer and while not my kind of movie, it looked solid for what it was. Surviving the Game (- Iced Tea*) with the blood and violence amped up to The Purge levels. Because Purge level violence sells.
