I have to add Cool Runnings for Sanka (even though it’s not ice skating)

I’d be surprised at this point if at least one Jane letter per week didn’t get an absolutely absurd reply. The response to #2 is so much like last week’s dogshit advice to the woman whose partner didn’t want to talk about the future (Jane says: live in the now! Stop pestering him!). NO. DO NOT CONTINUE in this…

Yeah, it matters a lot where you want to live and where you can work. This sounds like a deal-breaker to me. Waiting until you get engaged won’t make the issue go away. The pain of breaking up only gets worse. Also, this woman is in her 30s, but she’s supposed to wait around for years (because, heck, she could die…

I don’t know if you have any prejudices about pole dancing based on places like Magic City, but if throwing a stick really far is a sport, then so is this.

the thing about ‘prime years’ and gymnastics though, is that its kind of bullshit. before they raised the age to 16 everyone thought the prime was 14-16. now they’ve raised it and everyone accepts the prime is 16-18. if you raise the age to 18, i bet you would see a lot more 22 year olds winning (which we will…

This article is about men who murder the women they supposedly know/love. Not about terrorism. Terrorism done by other-than-white-men gets TONS of coverage and punishment. Domestic violence, though pandemic and very deadly, gets almost no coverage and no justice. That’s the point of the article. The murderer here did…

Why completely derail the topic at hand with this shit? This whole article is about men who kill women (for trying to leave them). HUGE PROBLEM. It’s not about that kind of terrorism—the kind that gets lots of male attention, it’s about the everyday terrorism of men killing their wives, gfs, exes. Stop doing this.

Yes it’s fucked up that he did only 4 years. I was only 16 or 17 when he was judged so I don’t remember which arguments the defense used. Meanwhile OJ Simpson wasn’t convicted at his first trial even though he was clearly guilty so i’m not sure you want to play “my country is better” game.

Sentences in Western Europe are much shorter than in the US. There are arguments for and against that but when you look at the statistics, these countries on the whole are less violent, there are less murders and, perhaps most importantly, there are less recidivism rates despite the shorter sentences. But that’s…

Counter-point: She lied, got caught and is now acting like a petulant teenager over it because she sucks.

I think the rule is, don’t approach strangers, unless you are genuinely in need of assistance. This idea that you (collective ‘you’) can hit on women everywhere? No, you can’t.

Hm. I don’t have a good quick response because it varies so much depending on who’s telling me, but one time a fucking TSA agent told me to smile when I was going through security and I simply said, “I don’t like it when men tell me to smile.”

Considering this is a group of people who had to have the meaning of unanimous explained to them at least twice in relation to a pretty commonly known foundation of jury trials, I’m not as surprised as I would be.

This needs to be higher on the page. I feel like too many people fall into big life changes because of ennui or a fear of stagnation. Getting married and having children shouldn’t be next logical steps, they should be conscious, jointly planned choices.

I also wonder if he isn’t more “beatable” than Trump? Trump has this stupid x-factor b/c he’s not establishment, where he can take a shit on a bald eagle and his lunatics will still vote for him. Pence might be moredefeatable by conventional means? Like maybe shit might actually stick to him?

I wondered if Ronan came across super compelling evidence about Weistein in his search for shit to take Woody Allen down and decided to play the long game. I definitely see this as a shot across the bows by Ronan. He has systematically set out to take down the structure that protects these criminals and I am here for…

I’m waiting for Roman Polanski to weigh in on Harvey Weinstein.

Would a man wink at another man? Usually no. So don’t do it to women either. It’s condescending.

I can’t speak for the behaviour of these famous men, but...we had a pedophile in our family. There were things in his behaviour which, in hindsight, snapped into clear and hideous focus as “obvious” signs. I will never forget the second I realised he’d tried to groom my daughter. But they only seemed obvious in…

Lohan berating HW’s wife for leaving him feels like justification to post this to me. No one forced her to do that. She could have remained silent or come out in support. Lohan came out swinging defending someone she knows is a monster. She deserved to have her hypocrisy exposed. Victims can still also be complicit in…
