I can’t believe you missed out on the w o r s t excuse on his list: “It wasn’t me because she said I was sweaty and I have/had a disease that prevents me from sweating at all” (paraphrasing here, the actual clip is even worse).

I think they should have ONE housewife that isn’t Mormon and she will be the token drunken shitshow

The Real Sisterwives of Salt Lake City might be more interesting. I mean this could be done using only one family.

Agreed, I was shocked by how gleefully people piled on. All in the name of FEMINISM and lifting up the FEMALE author. Who was a jerk to a student who didn’t like her books (or, actually, preferred others over hers, which she has every right to do). I didn’t weigh in, just left the thread but I regret that I didn’t…

The comments on the original Jez article were a shameful cesspool of white feminism. SO many Jezzies were defending these white female authors piling on a grad student for suggesting that Dessen’s milquetoast YA novels may not have been the best choice for collegiate readers and that a book about discrimination in the…

Roxanne Gay wrote the she was now Nelson’s nemesis and that she had an inflated idea about their taste level.

Roxane Gay and NK Jemisin, to name two non-white women with privelege, were part of the pile on. The ingroup here is successful published authors.

Read the Vulture piece. The grad student sounds like the only one with an acutal head on her shoulders.

Oh, I believe she deserves her doctorate after going thru the bullshit these authors dumped on her.

Wholllllle lotta Karening going on.

She couldn’t even name the person she bullied. I’d give it a C-.

“Nelson, who is now a graduate student in linguistics studying online harassment”

I guess I’m a sociopath then? (Not really, I show none of the signs of it, so eff off Tom.)

And tea! Tea with non-dairy milk is usually gross.

Sexiest Man Alive isn’t about finding the actual most fuckable dude on the planet (if it were, Oscar Isaac would have it handily every year). It’s about who’s good looking, unthreatening, who’s been in the public spotlight, who PEOPLE’s readership likes, and who needs the career visibility from being designated as…

When I think of her, I’ll always think of this song where she made fun of her little brother for doing nothing but smoking pot and masturbating all day and then he went and got a starring role on Game of Thrones:

Sometimes good butt is better than pretty face.

This reminds me of when Nicholas Sparks said he doesn’t write romance novels and that he was actually the natural successor to Hemingway, Shakespeare, and Euripides. (I’m 100% serious about this.)

asdkfjdk my GOD woman, get your head out of your ass. Sarah, you write shitty teen romance YA, you’re not out here writing the next Booker Prize novel. Of course a college junior, who is presumably in her twenties and you know, at university to challenge herself academically, wants to read something with more…

because i was subjected to it this week, you must now suffer with me...
