They’re setting up the expectation that future performers should also not expect to be compensated. And it’s just puzzling that they’d be happy to make a rich man richer off their names.

A woman came into my work a few years ago and I asked what brought her to town. She hesitated and then said that she was bringing her son to rehab. After exchanging awkward smiles, she said, "It's okay. Our secrets keep us sick."

Also this cartoon wouldn’t have been made about a man or a white woman.

The perception that women are supposed to be their male partner’s therapist and emotional support, to the detriment of their own well-being, is pervasive. It’s why, more often than not, you see a lot of tv and film with the psychologist characters played by women - and they often deal with fairly trash men (or worse…

My brother knocked out my two front teeth with a tennis racket when I was 8. I had porcelain caps before they were cool. They’ve held it together, mostly, for 30 years, but I can never whiten my teeth because then my two front teeth would be off color. I don’t think about it too often, but I have zero shame in using…

First;

Knowing you can get paid by your employer for committing a crime on their watch is a huge morale-booster for the C-suite set, I expect, so this is obviously in their best interests, the turds.

I’ve no doubts he is guilty on all counts and I hope they have the guys to kick him out with no severance.

Oh, cool, so your brilliant foolproof plan boils down to “pretend we’re not having sex” and “don’t sext, except when we do”, with the delightful addition of surveilling your wife.

That’s how he operates. Piece of shit one time, followed by worse piece of shit, then you forget about the first time.

Nah. You don’t actually love your wife. That’s not how real love works. This is garden variety male entitlement. You feel that you deserve both regardless of whom it hurts. And even if no one finds out, which they most certainly will eventually, you’re still content with destroying her relationship with her sister.…

You do you, my man, but I really, really hope you’re not bringing additional “gifts” home to your wife through your dalliances.

...and may whatever higher power you believe in hold out that she does not find out, as it would destroy not only her relationship with you, but with her sister. That’s where my judgment…

“We just delivered a baby in the car.”

You’re pointing to incredibly well-known, wealthy black people to avoid the white-privilege label. Just look at the guy at issue here- a nobody white dude who gets a second chance. Does that ever happen to a nobody POC? No, they get arrested if they try to vote.

I think it’s confusing b/c the OP is referring more to “the court of public opinion” which I think is, yeah, more biased in favor of rich & famous than race necessarily. Weinstein and Brock Turner immediately come to mind as well as big instances of NOT being given a second chance, and they are white.

I totally agree! This whole bit is, like, needlessly condescending? 

Why do people think virgins don’t know anything about sex? I’m a 35 year old virgin, but I have ears. And there’s this thing called the internet. Also, our media is completely obsessed with fucking. The man’s 26, not 10, and wasn’t raised in a convent. Even if he was, a large enough amount of nuns came into it after…

She may have refused to be by his side for whatever reason but I distinctly remember her giving an interview abiding by the talking point that his comments should be deemed ‘locker-room talk’ instead of taken seriously. She also went along with her husband birther lunacy against Obama. Make no mistake this one knows…

They will never donate leftovers. They don’t want to see teh Burberry brand on some hobo begging for pennies outside Starbucks. It reduces the value of the brand.

Yeah, this happens all the time in capitalist societies. We just don’t recognize it because most people think of capitalism as a slogan or a by-word rather than a concrete set of philosophical ideas.
