That source is really reaching, isn’t it? I get a slut-shamey vibe from it.

‘Drew had a very rebellious and wild childhood, with no family around her, and while she is a different person now, and a great mother, some of that can stay with you.’

I don’t see how having a wide umbrella helps you, though (speaking as a fellow tall). What you/we need is some kind of umbrella that surrounds you down to about the elbow area. Granted, it would probably be hard to get out from under it and fold it up. That’s why I just wear a really good raincoat from Iceland where…

When will the media break their cowardly silence...

The former. Look, if you’re super fair, sometimes the parasol is necessary even when you’re wearing high SPF sunscreen. We had to buy my 6'4 tall and stocky brother one when we were on a family vacation several years ago because his pasty skin just cannot be exposed to the sun for hours at a time during midday without…

...Although for us weirdos who don’t live in New York, it gets kinda annoying to feel so distinctly outside-the-bubble all the time. Sometimes posts are written in a way that seems to assume that the minutiae of city life are relevant to all of us.

I carry a sun umbrella. And usually wear a hat and shades. Not sorry, no shame. Sunscreen makes my face break out and the here UV in Australia is crazy pants. The glare alone gives me migraines...

The second one. I mean, it’s one thing if it’s obviously some fashion choice lacy or paper thing you couldn’t use in a rainstorm, that’s just being hipster. But if it’s an obvious rain umbrella it’s just dumb.

Leave Posh alone! Gee.

Your first comment: rude.

The answer to your question is Title IX. The school had a duty to provide her assistance and investigate her claims. It failed.

“Hernandez stumbled back to the party and found her friends. When she told them what happened, they immediately took her to the hospital. Hernandez spoke to police, and her mother flew out the very next day.”

If I’m reading this correctly, the victim did go to the police. The rapist is serving 20 years for the conviction. Their completely valid suit against the university is that they refused counseling services to the victim (likely in hopes of shutting her up so their athletic program wouldn't get more bad press).…

As an editor, I NEVER get complaints from female authors. ALWAYS challenges from male authors.

She’s thinking of a TV housewife, not a real one. And I think that’s the problem: what we (those of us under 40-45) know of housewives in the 50s is shaped by what we saw on TV. I Love Lucy. Bewitched. Grease. Mad Men. That’s whole “housework in a cute dress” thing is a fantasy. Of course the women wore dresses while…

SE Cupp interviewed Carly Fiorina for Glamour and in it she added an editorial about how she wished women cared about tax/fiscal issues as they did about reproductive health issues. That right there was proof enough that Republican women do. not. get. it. For so, so many people reproductive health issues ARE fiscal…

Omg I had this employee who was terrible and after months of bullshit and talking down to me he finally quit. 6 months later (I guess he tried to freelance for awhile) someone finally called for a reference and though by law I couldn’t say much, the tone of my voice told the guy volumes. I think when they asked if he…
