Wonder Woman was just played by a pro-Israel pro-IDF Israeli woman who actually fought for the IDF and is unapologetically supportive of them, so, no, you’re not just wrong, you’re super wrong.

Just noting that had she written exactly the same about any Arab government, she would likely never have been pressured to step down. We really do hold double standards, here.

Hijabs are still representative of one of the worst forms of patriarchy on a global scale. No amount of good lighting and Photoshop can change that.

This is ridiculous. She didn’t say anything anti-semitic (which I’ve definitely seen some anti-Zionists do). It sounds like she was frustrated and pretty justifiably.

It actually wasn’t a good take down. It was petty. She could’ve stopped with the legit criticism of the plastic surgery stuff but the Hanoi Jane stuff was classic right-wing “attack the messenger, not the message” vindictive stuff. It took away from the initial point she was making and turned it into an immature…

The podcast You Must Remember This did a series on Jane Fonda and Jean Seberg and really goes into depth on this part of Jane’s life. It was a complete set up.

The whole Hanoi Jane thing was a setup. She was a pretty naive peace protester who jumped at the opportunity to show the North Vietnamese as human beings who wanted peace as much as people in the US did. The North Vietnamese exploited this by cajoling her to pose on a anti-aircraft gun.

None of the people I’ve ever heard call Jane Fonda “Hanoi Jane” were veterans.

I watched the Vietnam documentary with my Vietnam vet dad and when the topic of “Hanoi Jane” came up he quickly said “oh who cares.”

During her early months as First Lady, Obama visited homeless shelters and soup kitchens.^[133] She also sent representatives to schools and advocated public service.

It’s worth a watch. I know there’s been some criticism, well founded criticism, about the marches and the lack of intersectionality and the phoniness of some white feminists, but I’ve also seen some pretty awesome things going on too, as shown by the clip above and the various DACA speeches I’ve seen today too.

S0...your accomplishment has been meeting new people in one year? What else have you done? Oh, wait.

He’s 22. He’s had since Dylan Farrow’s biggest statement in 2014 about the abuse she suffered when she really was a child to grasp the issues.

I want to do Barre at home. Any good suggestions for YouTube or other instruction? I need to lose 30 lbs, but that is not really my main issue. I need to strengthen my core and gain flexibility, and I have always enjoyed ballet.

1. We do have a term for it - sexual coercion. It covers encounters like this that aren’t necessarily illegal, but aren’t exactly super consensual either, because one person made the other person feel like they couldn’t refuse sex. When someone is ignoring your attempts to shut sex down, it’s hard to be 100% sure that…

The degree to which ESPN has dropped the ball on this story is shameful. And even then, it’s mostly shuffled off to Bob Ley’s Serious Time on the weekends.

McKayla Maroney has already filed suit (in December) against USAG and USOC for covering up the sexual abuse. Michigan State is also charged in the suit, but not for cover up.

The thing I find so confounding about the complicity of USAG/MSU/USOC is... why? Once the allegations started to surface, why keep him? Did this shitstain appear to offer anything special? Did he seem to possess unique skills above and beyond the average sports medicine practitioner? Or was it really just the purely…

“I’m an adult, and I’m listening, and I’m sorry it took this long.”

I just want to thank Deadspin and Jezebel for giving this the frontline attention it needs and deserves. Other outlets are giving it so little attention relative to its importance it is very disheartening.  I listen to the radio in the morning on the way to work and you would have little idea this was happening if…
