This week, on “Jezebel walks back its hot takes. . . ."

What’s weird about her is that for all of her alleged “poise” and “grace” Ivanka often appears to have no idea how to act. She stands awkwardly, she smiles awkwardly, she speaks awkwardly and frequently looks like she has no confidence in her abilities at all. She tries to carry that “success zen” facade, like she’s…

They possess none of it at all. Everyone sees right through Ivanka’s sad “poised and moderate” routine and knows she’s just a vapid coddled spoiled brat who’s never worked a day in her life on anything of any actual consequence. Daddy can fool them all, but Ivanka’s fooling nobody.

Yeah, I don’t get everyone else’s “she’ll never get elected.” Of course she will and I bet Rubio is terrified.

Weigh in on what? It’s Florida; they’ll elect her and reelect her for the next 20 years. 

IDK, she’d actually have to do work that she can’t outsource to China. I can see her running a campaign to grift off the donations though. 

We’re watching Dark Shadows through, and in the last few episodes three different male characters have said to female characters variations on “you don’t have to be scared of me” when they were alone in a remote location. I was not a bit surprised to see male writers for each one. The cognitive dissonance between what…

I’m worried that, without receipts, someone from the dude’s distant past will not be taken seriously. Especially if they want to remain anonymous and protect the identity of the survivors. Absolutely DO NOT out your friends as “evidence.”

I have no patience for people on the left who criticize her, when you dedicate years and years in order to reach out to people, which many politicians don't do, and to simply not giving up despite all odds, it's simply a sight to witness. 

Good lord! Let’s hope not.

I dunno, being a verbally abusive asshole is pretty gross, imo, as are dudes who marry chicks young enough to be their daughters. Neoliberalness aside, I feel like the worst sin of 30 Rock (which I generally enjoy) is rehabilitating Alec Baldwin.

Jerry being a predator was potentially the biggest disappointment in a year of exceptionally disappointing things (thru the lens of pop culture).

This is what we’ve been missing by elevating mediocre white male “creatives” in Hollywood all these years: someone who can stand with victims first while having the mental bandwidth to empathize and reflect on working with people who are harmful but also suffering themselves.

Anecdotally: I have had to tell an employee of the business I still currently work at that JERKING OFF IN THE OFFICE BATHROOM was not an acceptable activity to engage in at your place of employment. The fucking 20-something moron just hooted about how he “didn’t know” and tried to act like I was joking and we were…

Who does that??

HE CALLED HER FUCKING “KIDDO” IN THE OPENING LINE OF HIS OP-ED!!!! It wasn’t enough that he was there to call it “comic” that a woman with a ph-d use the professional title she worked her ass off for, he had to grossly and explicitly infantilize her too? So fucking furious right now.

Your comment made me realize that they’d love to turn her into another Hillary Clinton, a smart woman who’s too busy/important/career-oriented to be First Lady and thinks she’s better than other women because she’s educated and has a job. They pinned that scarlet “harpy” to her in the early 90s, and this is just a…

A hate read is still a click. I figured that's why because ironically such drivel would never have gotten higher than a D- at an undergraduate level.

I have been limping along ABD for too long now, with very little motivation to write up but with fear that I’d regret dropping out keeping me from committing to that option. Literally a week and a half ago, my advisor fueled the ‘keep going’ fire by suggesting that the authority that ‘Dr.’ would give me would make it…

Calling a grown woman who goddamned well earned the right to call herself "Doctor" by a a diminutive like "kiddo" automatically renders your opinion completely irrelevant. Just saying.
