Yaaaaaasss yes yes I agree and thank you. You hit it exactly. Dismissing women’s accomplishments - it’s been done to me, probably to most of us? I would really love to be super pretty and have rich parents. Maybe be a Kennedy, or at least a Ralph Lauren ad. I’m not sure I’d have done anything particularly amazing with…

White thin and a rich daddy goes a long long way, that’s true. But it doesn’t make you the most successful pop star in the western world.

I disagree. It’s not normal behavior for a boy to continue hurting someone who says they’re being hurt. It’s the behavior of a predator who intends to get something nd doesn’t care about the experience of the object he’s using for it.

Thousands of rich daddies set up their daughters every year. It’s kinda crazy to attribute Taylor’s success to that. She works her ass off and she’s made of blazing discipline. You don’t have to like her music to be realistic that she’s literally the most successful pop star on this side of the planet, and that's on…

He skipped over the whole of her childhood and adolescence actually. Mia Faroe adopting her and raising her doesn't exist in his narrative, nor him as her father figure in that time. She was a street urchin, then she was his girlfriend and then his wife. And his self congratulation for all the wonderful things he’s…

I have a very active, health conscious friend who was caught up in the “mostly eating bananas” diet. She looked like hell. Sallow, bad skin - I hardly recognized her. Meanwhile she wouldn’t shut up about how great it was to just eat bananas. She got over it thank god. I’m going to place banana-arians in the upper…

Ummmm actually I *do* want to know...

Prince and David Bowie defined me musically and all my coolest memories include them, and Prince isn't much older than me, and now I kinda feel like maybe I’m going to die too. I'm taking this way harder than one is supposed to take a celebrity death, I think.

I had a mad hope that maybe it's just some Prince thing. Like he's not really dead, he's just Dead2U or changed his name or left the planet. Anything but this.

What is the source of your information re: HRC’s nefarious scheme?

Wait, so is it bad for companies to rebrand themselves based on public pressure? Isn’t that just what successful public pressure should do? Or is the point that Weight Watchers shouldn’t exist at all?

Starred for livin the dream! By which I mean the Midwest rocks. Also sounds like a great guy :)

Cross your fingers for me, then. I’m getting ready to move my operations to a farm closer to a real city, containing - I presume - real human men. I've actually had a couple of wonderful flings with younger men but there's something kinda sad about knowing from the start that it's never going to be more. Anyway, until…

I (a woman) would absolutely buy a male sex robot. In fact I have my credit card out right now. I’m not in a relationship and I don’t see any real change ahead given how hard I work and that the pickings are slim for a middle aged woman to begin with. I love my hitachi but there’s something about the whole physical…

Mental rotation is in fact the only basic cognitive spatial test that reliably shows a gender difference. The consistent interpretation of that had been that women suck. My hypothesis was that women employ different strategies across the menstrual cycle, and because menstrual cycle isn't normally controlled the result…

I’m on the same page. My dissertation (PhD, cog neuropsychology) actually involved gender differences in spatial cognition. The spin is hilarious. There was a whole body of literature about spatial cognition sex differences essentially built on performance on only one of many possible spatial tests. Mental rotation,…

Well, it’s kinda yellow. Not fancy canary yellow, just discount bin giant diamond yellow. I’m a diamond snob, which is only one reason no one is rushing to buy me one.

I don’t so much have an issue with claimed gender differences, per say. I mean, men are generally bigger physically, bfd. The problem with sexists is they draw conclusions from very basic differences related to roles in society, how people should behave in relationships, who should get which jobs - really, who should…

I think Charlize’s point here is that if another woman gets a part she wants, it’s because that woman is ugly.

This guy is deliberately posing with that hair but it’s a pretty large degree of separation from black culture to a fish concert. White street kids and white train riders wear dreads because it’s the easiest thing to manage when you can’t wash very often. (Source: know too many white street kids and train riders).…
