Maybe she can publish another book in which she reveals that she perceives an alternative universe in which she is Moonlight director Barry Jenkins. So of course the whole envelope mix-up affected her on a deeply personal level.

Stories like this gross me out, but also make me curious about the wide disparity in laws. Has anyone ever proposed a universal legal age of consent—ideally something that would be international. I’ve noticed when watching British films that they will make references like “oh, it was OK, because he waited til she was

From what I’ve read, seems like people think the fact that she is friends with a lot of gay white men means she must be too cool to be a bigot. Personally, I don’t believe she’s absolved of responsibility for the hateful things she says even if she is playing a role.

In the past, she has made some valid points about sexism in book marketing. However, her attitude toward Oprah seems a bit racist—from the comment on Oprah and Weight Watchers to her entitled assumption that she deserves to be selected for Oprah’s book club. Her publicist should tell her to stay of Twitter and

As someone who used to work for a non-profit that helped people re-build their lives post-prison, pretty sure you’re wrong about them finding employment more easily than you. (BTW, given the school-to-prison pipeline, the whole notion of “ex-con” as the ultimate degenerate is both classist and racist).

So many people have died at the Grand Canyon that there is a book about it. After reading this, I almost feel surprised when I hear someone went to the Grand Canyon and survived.

I’ve seen the theory advanced, on this site and elsewhere, that everything Coulter does is some kind of ironic performance art. Even if that’s true, she’s still despicable. You can’t “oh, it’s irony” your way out of responsibility for the kind of hate language she spews.

“Anybody who has a daughter should be appalled by this,”

There’s this line in Spotlight where Stanley Tucci (I think) points out that just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse a child—all the people who have to look away in order for abuse to keep happening. Same thing is true with Cosby. Given the numbers, how many people had to know and

Maybe the airline is afraid if they show the full film within the confined space of a plane cabin, there will be a scene like Zombies on a Plane, only with lesbians. (which, if true, I would want to be on that flight)

Caitlyn Jenner is one of those people who refuse to grow/evolve/mature. Growth doesn’t happen without some honest self-criticism. If she came to a realization of how privilege has shaped her life, then shed the Republican attitudes; if she talked about and tried to act on her realization, that would be an interesting

Despise the use of the word “pussy” to mean weak. The word should be reclaimed and used to denote strength. For example, “Serena’s tennis game is so pussy! She is amazingly talented.”

The word “insane”is ableist. Try “irresponsible” or “insensitive” (or a host of other words that don’t stigmatize mental health issues).

“We have a bunch of talented, creative females, but they reach a certain point in their careers ...”

You can tell who is an asshole by their affinity for victim-blaming (even if their last name isn’t Trump). Seriously, if you know someone who (unlike the Trump family) manages to seem charming, but they frequently blame victims—take that as a warning.

Sex possibly out of wedlock! Sex that those whores might actually enjoy! (as opposed to the sex the male legislators’ wives, mistresses, girlfriends, paid escorts, etc might have with them)

Unfortunately, it’s not unknown for men with liberal/progressive reputations to abuse women. Given his cavalier attitude toward abuse and rape, I really hope someone looks into his life away from the bench.

Has anyone seriously looked into Judge Persky’s own life, not just his sentencing history? Because his casual attitude about violence toward women makes me wonder how he treats any women who work with him, live with him, interact with him on any basis.

Disappointed that Jezebel didn’t cover the fashion statement made by the spouse of the Democratic nominee when he spoke the other night. Ever since middle school, I’ve been looking forward to gender-switched versions of those old news stories reporting “The First Lady looked chic and trim wearing _________ that set

Dudebro rule of humor: Women aren’t funny. But making fun of women is always funny.
