“I never liked him much anyway.”

I found it a bit eerie that you could just search-and-replace the names in this article with those of any of the recent powerful-man-harasses-woman-at-work stories and have it be pretty much identical, right down to the “but he/she is really good at their job!” defenses.  Yay equality?  Also:  yuck.

Yup. This line really says it all to me: ‘“People know that she is very friendly and open and crosses traditional boundaries in relationships with her students,””

Ugh. Enough already with the damn “this person has done a lot of good, therefore they could never have done anything wrong” letters. I can understand it’s hard to accept that a friend or idol might not be who you thought they were but keep your thoughts to yourself.

“Yeah, but whiter.”

Eh, I think you’re not wrong, but you also aren’t exactly right either. If the last 20 years have taught me anything, it’s that personal virtue is a very nice thing for a President to have, and it certainly makes me feel better about having him or her as leader, but it’s insufficient on its own to really prevent…

And I’ll again cop to being completely unfair to Lewinsky...

The weird thing is, I’ve come to agree with 90s Republicans. I think Clinton should have resigned, because I think that his brazen defiance of custom taught Republicans that if you just refuse to be shamed and force people to kick you out, the mechanisms of power are such that it’s awfully difficult to do. I genuinely…

Breaking news: Terrible fucking person is terrible. More at 11.

In a day when reckless extramarital sexual activity is manifesting itself in our staggering rates of illegitimacy and divorce, now more than ever, America needs to be able to look to her First Family as role models of all that we have been and can be again.

A lot of those women became millionaires and even billionaires selling young girls a body image that was no more real than anime. There is value in pointing out how much of a lie the image is. And I have to ask, is the lie not misogyny? Is photoshop, hours of make up, surgery, and a team of experts to post a single…

There’s the thoughtful and engaging response I expected from a person named Rich White Man The 3rd.

When I was a university student, I typed medical transcripts part-time. (That was a thing before voice to text.) The neurologists and orthopedists regularly had to try and help people who had been “treated” by chiropractors.

This is a really interesting article, and I only take exception with that woman's criticism of barre as "delicate." Barre is hard as shit.

Same here, I’ve never been below a 10. My ancestors were big German peasant women—if a ox keeled over, one of them could be hooked up to the plow.

Please do not dignify chiropractors with the honorific "Dr." They are not doctors, they are dangerous quacks and charlatans. 

I work out in a women’s only kickboxing gym.

“But women’s gyms will remain relevant as long as women still feel alienated from the same spaces men have dominated for decades.”
