The line is at consent. Risky behavior does not nullify consent. Camille Paglia makes essentially the same argument that you're making: if I leave my car unlocked with the keys in it on the streets of New York City (I love how the example is always New York, like it's so dangerous on these mean streets) and it gets

I actually believe them too. I'm sure there was emotional disloyalty, but I just don't think they cheated. Call me naive, but I don't.

Wait, why is Armie's comment "perfect?" He implies or says outright a few things that are pretty problematic. First, feminists don't like rough sex. Second, you can't have rough sex with someone you respect. Third, you can't have rough sex with your wife. If this is how his relationship has changed, say, because

Since my rage is boiling over to the point of homicidal tendencies at the Paula Dean story, I'm going to focus on the mundane and trivial:

They didn't mischaracterize the rape. They mischaracterized the site of the rape. Given that, and the fact that Jessica's headline itself is misleading, I've got to raise one eyebrow at the indignation Jessica is feigning here.

Not even close to what she said. You're the only commenter in this thread who has been aggressive and insulting.

As of 3:32pm, it's up to $8,100.00. And yet, what I find hardest to believe is that the seller is still charging $8 shipping. I buy my lil guy an $8000 outfit, and you can't spot me the shipping? Really?

I don't think her family needs Extra or E! or even Jezebel to chronicle everything that's wrong with Amanda. Her tweets alone do the talking. But more importantly, this wasn't a catalog of all the things she's done that indicate mental illness, what people with mental illness experience, how their families cope—it was

double post, can't delete. sorry!

Cosigned. It's one of my deepest frustrations with Jezebel that its writers routinely blog about the objectification and dehumanization of celebrities and then actively participate, all the while pretending they're too noble to engage in exploitation. And in the grand Gawker tradition, anyone annoyed/offended/asking

Hugh Jackman just seems like the nicest dude ever.

But so is Angelina. It's non-judgmental to say, "It's not the choice I made, and I don't think it's the choice I would make in my case." But to call it fearful, to assess the strength of what someone else chose to do, it's gross.

because she learned nothing from Georgia Rule's tough but loving fictional matriarch (Wallace Shawn).

That Rock Hudson quote made me super sad...the justification that he would make love with a man for longer because of it being "wrong" (in this case, the physical not-fitting of it), uh, it breaks my heart. It doesn't sound like a line he fed his wife, it sounds like something he actually believed. Like the pleasure

I'm with you. South Koreans have more plastic surgery per capita than any other population in the world, yes. But to single out beauty pageants in South Korea, as if the candidates for Miss USA are au naturel, homegrown beauties or that they don't all look strikingly similar, is outrageous. If you want to call out

JLo looks good but [slutty] in what she's wearing. How can she be singing for empowerment of women when she's dressed like that?

Please don't feel bad about your Frasier knowledge. Or at least know you're in good (crazy?) company. The only thing I know more about than celebrity offspring is Frasier. Seriously. I bet I know less about my own husband than Martin Crane.

"Hey Romy, remember Mrs. Divitz's class, there was like always a word problem. Like, there's a guy in a rowboat going X miles, and the current is going like, you know, some other miles, and how long does it take him to get to town? It's like, 'Who cares? Who wants to go to town with a guy who drives a rowboat?"

If you think any of Janie Bryant's costume design choices on Mad Men could possibly be coincidence, you haven't been paying attention.
