Ah, Wesleyan. Keep fucking up, you gorgeous institution.

I’m glad this story is getting the attention it deserves. I remember submitting a tip to Gawker when the same thing happened at my college paper, hoping some concerned journalists would see the importance of it. We covered it really thoroughly and were outraged. Also, our funding restructure had nothing to do with a…

I mean, Sean Penn kidnapped her. That has nothing to do with age. I’d hope that anybody that was tied up and beat by someone for a full work day, whether at 21 or 71 would not go back to the dude that did that.

It’s always fun to watch watch the Jezebel commentariat contort themselves to make ageist attacks on Madonna that don’t sound ageist. “I’m not saying she needs to act her age but I wish her behavior reflected some of the wisdom that comes with getting older as a woman,” etc. As if, when you really follow her work, it…

I still don’t think she, or any other woman, deserves to be beaten.

You’re absolutely right. Even minor Nile Rodgers-produced songs are fucking brilliant.

Nile can do no wrong!

I recently found an unopened vinyl version of Like a Virgin at a local record store, and I scooped it up for $4. I had forgotten how much I loved Nile Rodgers’s guitar playing on even the most minor of tracks.

It will be my first time voting today. So excited!

Same. Except I was 12. Skinny all over but I had a bit of a gut sticking out. Having grown women rub my baby fat and bemoan the fact that I was so young to be popping out kids, was beyond embarrassing.

What’s the Hebrew for “A Festival of Assholes”?

So many gifs, so little time.

I wasn’t fat in high school and was once asked how far along in my pregnancy I was. I thought I was fat, and that confirmed things for me. It wasn’t until adulthood that I could be more objective that 28” waist on a muscular 5’5” person = not fat, not pregnant-looking. Also, I was 14 at the time and looked young.…

They are called sanctimommies

Either those or men who feel like they need to lecture her on how she needs to “snap back”.

I wore a breezy white cotton dress once that was really flowy and had no waistline. Then a total stranger asked me when the baby was due. I never wore that dress again.

Oh gawd I listen to someone like Paul Simon and then I hear a Taylor song and it just makes me so mad. She writes good hooks, but nuance is not her forte.

Sadly, I highly doubt this made Mayer cry. He probably cackled at its ham-handedness.

Ha, I am fat and whenever I wear floaty and/or empire waist dresses in summer, old ladies on the tram tend to offer me the seat reserved for seniors, disabled people and, well, pregnant women. Soooooooo mortifying and it happens every goddamn time!!!! :(

Because it totally makes sense that the A++ mothers would be the ones wanting to spend time on the internet shaming other women, instead of you know, doing mom stuff.....
