My mother met her several times when she was living in Paris, maintaining that (and I quote) “that woman’s stupidity is flabbergasting, and she’s an awful person”.

This is bullshit. First of all, Bardot is and was a victim of predatory directors, from a very young age. She’s given interviews in the past telling how bad the abuse got on set. And who knows what happened off set... Second, it’s a generally accepted fact that she’s been unstable for a while. She’s one of those…

They welcomed Roman Polanski with open arms. And with that, my Julia Child and Sabrina-induced fascination with Paris promptly keeled over dead.

a man who’s just timidly asked her, breath baited, if

Nothing is wrong with being the victim, at all. Unfortunately we rely on our Pleistocene mammal brains often and atavistically equate being a victim with some weakness or defect. I’ve met women in PTSD support groups that I came to respect the absolute hell out of and couldn’t fucking imagine going through what they…

Seriously: what is so bad about being a victim? I hear people shaming others all the time, saying, “don’t be such a victim”... but what is so weak about that, really? Of course, no one wants to be one, if they can avoid it... but it’s the perpetrator who commits a crime or other wicked deed against someone, it’s the pe…

Brigitte has been facho for decades now. She’s married into the FN. She a Putin fan. She’d be into the Dotard too if not for his sons’ trophy hunting. But most people who still care about her are very old or dead. So... Bof.

Very conservative? That’s an understatement. Bardot is a bigot with convictions for inciting racial hatred.

Today is the first day that I haven’t been upset about Trump in two years and that’s only because I learned today that I’m getting a divorce. So. That’s apparently what it takes.

Y’all remember the NYT story about Obama eating almonds and reading briefing books for five hours every night?

<<“We’re there, having a little dessert, and he offers me some,” McCarthy recalled in an interview. “Just the red and the pink.>>

Dude. Everyone acts like the peanut m&ms are better but they’re clearly not.

No, I understand where the anger is, absolutely, and I’m not saying it’s not valid. I just, personally, thought after reading this that he is a pushy, horny guy who can’t (or maybe won’t) pick up on when a girl is uncomfortable, and thinks that, even thought she had told him she wasn’t completely into to it, by…

Aziz is a celebrity who just wore a “Time’s Up” pin while accepting an award at the Golden Globes. He has consistently made himself out to be a male feminist ally. You could call “Grace’s” actions spite, but I’d call it righteous anger at a complete fucking hypocrite who needs to be held accountable and change his…

Aziz has written about reading body language and social cues in his Modern Romance book. His show and comedy has dealt with the kind of behavior this story describes.

So many men rushing in to scream that they’re not mind readers as if that’s some defense.

No. You are 100% wrong. SHE DID NOT CONSENT TO ANY OF IT. That makes it assault. And she said, if you read the story, that she pretty much said “dude I’m not feeling this.”

Why is he sticking his fingers down her throat? Is that something straight guys do? Is that supposed to be a turn-on? WTF?

Yeah, I thought Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me! said it pretty well on the show yesterday: when someone crashes a car into your house, you don’t fix it by crashing another, nicer car into it.
