What makes you so sure she did it out of obligation? Maybe she did it out of oh, I don't know, forgiveness?I know it's not the Jezebel way but there are people out there who are capable of forgiving and moving on, especially if remorse is shown and the person has been sufficiently punished. I know, I know, it's so…
Really? I think Cole had a point and that it will just discourage people from talking about race out of fear of saying something "wrong" and being ridiculed for it, and avoiding discussing race won't end racism or discrimination. As for what he's selling, I don't really care anyway since I don't drink Starbucks anyway…
Never said it was her problem. But she weighed in on it and I think her comment was classy as fuck.
Do you know for a fact that he doesn't?
Are you serious?
There's NOTHING wrong with ANY kindling story because writing isn't the same as doing it in real life.
Zero tolerance policies are knee-jerk, irrational responses to real problems, every incident has to be considered on a case by case basis. Let's use our heads and punish people on proportional ways, not to make a point or set an example.
Being suspended for the remainder of the season is a "real" consequence and teaches a lesson, without being overkill.
I would question that if they didn't do anything to punish him or gave him a slap on the wrist. If they suspended him for a significant number of games or the remainder of the season, I think that would be punishment enough and would send out the wrong message.
What a smart, classy kid.
Yeah, of course. But in Jackie's case, after it was clear that many things about her story weren't adding up, anyone who said so or questioned the veracity of her claims got slammed here in the comments and accused of victim blaming. And any time you hear of a rape victim having to retell the story of what happened to…
Or maybe have a discussion about how any kind of questioning of a victim shouldn't be immediately labeled as "retraumatising the victim" and the person asking the question shouldn't be accused of being a rape apologist or a misogynist. A healthy dose of skepticism is pretty much required if you want to survive, well,…
I remember. And I was really glad that you were big enough to do so, even though many other Jezebel writers have fucked up in the past and then refused to even acknowledge it, much less apologise.
Well no shit, Sherlock. Kind of hard to build a case when the alleged victim is starting to look more and more like a pathological liar.
The November party was not an official team function, and only one of the rugby team members who is actually on the lease was in attendance. Furthermore, school administrators and sources close to the team agree that of the 46 players on the team, only eight were present at the house party on the night of the…
Because rape isn't really about sex, it's about power.
Perfect headline, though a bit redundant because let's be honest, isn't "whimsical" pretty much synonymous with "asshole" anyway?
It would be different if the comment comment were in earnest or she'd said something absolutely awful or a direct attack on someone else but I just don't understand why people overreacted to this so much that both she and gosling had to address it and apologise. That's just dumb.
Who cares though? Even if she wasn't joking, I wasn't aware that celebrities' opinions had to receive widespread approval and acceptation. Who cares if an actress holds different views than I do on marriage?
