You realize that’s not how pop culture works, right? I don’t have to call up Kaley Cuoco every time I want to express my disdain for The Big Bang Theory. 

They didn’t start well. I once emailed the site editor about how appalling I thought an article Tracie had posted was (it was about how “annoying” she thinks men with eating disorders are) and the editor actually CC’d in Tracie so they could both yell at/talk down to me. I didn’t read the site for YEARS after that.

Traci is a fucking monster and hiring/promoting her is one of Gawker Media’s biggest shames.

It didn’t fall apart - there was an early 90s Handmaid’s Tale movie starring Natasha Richardson and Faye Dunaway.

Before scrolling I thought you were being a little judgmental. After...

Just remember this: Mueller had enough on Flynn to put him in jail for at least a decade and whatever Flynn offered in exchange for a deal was valuable enough to get that cut down to one year.

I’m just going to repost something I wrote elsewhere:

I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I don’t want to compound what you’re going through by describing similar things that have happened to me, but I have definitely been in similar situations as this woman (and one time worse) and it took me a long time to unpack my feelings about it. I know the men who’ve done…

“I said something like, ‘Whoa, let’s relax for a sec, let’s chill.’”

Everyone is also ignoring that he physically intimidated her - she talks about how he followed her around the apartment and crowded her, how she felt like she couldn’t get away from him. Sure, when she tried to leave he didn’t stop her, but based on his behavior she had no guarantee that he was going to. She knew when…

Aziz defenders are probably also Franken defenders. Everyone wants to be a champion for women until it means having to give up their faves.

I didn’t call this rape. The two options for a sexual encounter aren’t “violent rape” or “totally fine situation where everyone is happy and consenting.” As a culture we’re terrible at recognizing and condemning rape, but we’re also terrible at recognizing that things don’t have to rise to the level of violence or…

You need to read up more on recognizing enthusiastic consent. Pushing boundaries and encouragement can happen in an enthusiastically consenting relationship, but those things without clear, uncoerced consent are violations.

It’s really not that hard. If you have to persuade/cajole/“soften up” someone, don’t do it. If you’re not getting clear, enthusiastic consent, don’t do it. You might get laid less, but the alternative is much worse.

He stopped for literally a minute and then immediately tried to initiate again. Dude, if you clearly express your discomfort to someone and they repeatedly ignore your discomfort and clear signals to try and get their way, they have already violated you in a very profound way. They have shown you that to them, what…

Probably because she said “no,” “let’s chill,” “next time,” and “I don’t want to feel forced” along with probably dozens of non-verbal cues that she wasn’t into it. And he’s a grown ass adult with no cognitive or social impairments that we’re aware of, so I think he can be expected to know and adhere to the basics of…

I didn’t go to j-school but I’m pretty sure in the business that’s called a “lead”

We’re expected to simultaneously believe that men are the arbiters of all logic, reason, and leadership ability while also understanding that men are dumb idiot babies who can’t understand or recognize obvious discomfort or the basic idea that “if you have to persuade someone to do something, they don’t want to do it.”

This piece is fucking shameful. You were silent on it this weekend but finally decided to throw in your two cents to criticize how the story was told and talk about consent “blurring”? Jezebel, what the fuck are you doing?
