It seems like there’s a cultural binary we have where a woman is either truthful or crazy. Once a woman has been branded as “crazy” it’s fair to discount everything she has to say, classic silencing technique. But that’s a false binary if ever there was one.

I don’t feel bad for the kids at all. They had every possible advantage in life (including parents who were filling to commit crimes on their behalf) and they still couldn’t get accepted to decent colleges? Cry me a river.

Yeah, but look at what voters did. Republicans hyped up the dangerous caravan and voters rewarded them* with huge, sweeping victories in the 2018 midterms, particularly in states that border Mexico.

There’s a definite problem with cis men posing as trans women to assault victims

“She’s been denied wearing pants when she sleeps at night because it’s against the prison’s policy.”

He made a slightly snarky comment about “elite” in an otherwise straightforward post about getting airline seats that are blocked to travelers without preferred status. You didn’t need to elevate this to DEFCON BUTTHURT.

I’m going to try to be less dismissive of your comment than some of the other people who responded... Can you, in three sentences or less, explain either what you’re trying to say or what you’re objecting to from the original post? I get why you would want to benefit from banking travel with one airline; that’s self…

What a ridiculous comment.

Crazy to think Billy McFarland will probably be POTUS in about 15 years or so.

People like you are the problem, not Bernie.

I think the author of this blog post made those particular quotes up for effect.

Just to be clear, that’s what jay assumes is in the texts, not an actual known text.

That isn’t really an excuse for a global company whose peer was literally just called out for this a month ago. They are aware of the issues with this type of depiction and they do it because it gets them publicity and money from people who don’t give a shit that this is racist. 15 years ago they could have had…

One, he was an actor playing a role. He was just doing his job. Two, Michelle has said problematic stuff before, so I’m not surprised she said this. Also, when you’re not a member of the offended race or group, it’s best you keep quiet about what does and doesn’t qualify as racist behavior. If he had something…

Let’s not confuse and cheapen the issue by making it about race.

I think that woman would be triggered by absolutely anything. This has nothing to do with the size of the seats and everything to do with her being an abusive garbage person who moves through life looking for any opportunity to degrade other people while feeling self-righteously aggrieved.

The victim is not in a vegetative state. The family has been trying to correct this misinformation.

Otherwise, throw that shit to the curb, buy a Kindle, regret nothing.

I could see Trump desperate enough for an audience to gin up something with McConnell to address a session of the Senate (and really just the Rs, maybe with the seats filled by GOP Reps)- obviously not a real SOTU as we understand it, but when have norms stopped this guy to date?

I did not say the allegations against CK or R. Kelly are the same anywhere in this post. I’m talking about a common attitude in the entertainment industry that lets men off the hook for a whole spectrum of abuse and sexism because they’re artists.
