My mom was not a “newsy” person. The only time I remember anything other than local news playing in my home was when something earth-shattering had happened (princess Di’s death, 9/11, etc). However, she loved the View. I’m 31, so 11 year old me loved this show. I don’t watch it now, but it introduced me to not only…

This seems like a happy ending for all the women involved. They made new friends and avoided spending any more of their precious time on this dick bag. Everyone in this story that I don’t hate wins!

As someone with a degree in anthropology, let me tell you, you have a complete misunderstanding of the science. Once upon a time, yes, anthropology was a field dominated by white men and women who spent their time proving by looking at other cultures how superior theirs was. But that has changed. Every single class I…

yes, that’s exactly what i meant. we kept them in a cage. it was there 1780. we were pioneers in our field

“The View” sketches were some of the first ones Tina Fey ever wrote for SNL! She said there was this crazy show happening during the day and none of the male writers had even heard of it.

It reminds me of the time I tried to take an Anthropology class and was like yo this entire field is racist. And the people in the class were like no we’re studying other people and I was like dude, those people aren’t your test subjects they are people. And then I dropped the class.

The main difference between “pro-choice” and “pro-life” women is that pro-choicers support bodily autonomy for women across the board, while pro-lifers only support bodily autonomy for themselves and their loved ones. Abortion is only evil child murder when dirty sluts do it. Pro-lifers are “good” women, and they…

1997 was one of the best years.

You make a good point. My argument would be that “putting feet to the fire” on this question won’t do jack shit. That us being stuck in the, “this is unbelievable, how can this be happening?” isn’t actually putting any feet to any fire and that to be more effective we need to organize with the knowledge that they are…

“Please desist.” lol fuck off, bro. What is with the male commenters lately? Why do you feel compelled to comment in this space in the first place? Not everything is for you.

Can we retire this question please? It’s really not hard to see how thousands of years of patriarchy and misogyny would have effects on both men and women. Believe it and move on from there.

Internalized misogyny or Stockholm syndrome or both?

I’m aware what kind of article this is. It’s still a sensitive issue that doesn’t need edgy hot takes from the Men of Jezebel (TM).

Was it really necessary to post this in an article about rape? This is gross and could be triggering to some readers.

that’s...gross.

On a semi-related note, I believe on his most recent tour he donated a portion of his ticket sales to Planned Parenthood, which is pretty cool.

Seems...spot on?

“It’s such a tricky topic for me because I don’t ever want to minimize how much that happens to women all the fucking time,” he says. “They say one in four women will experience some kind of sexual assault in their life which is fucking insane and heartbreaking. So as painful and surreal and fucked up as my situation…

I actually think he’s handling it really well. Especially not wanting to act like false rape accusations are common.

I feel like the lede here should be “Conor Oberst was falsely accused of rape, and OH HEY uses the opportunity when asked about it to be publicly compassionate toward women who’ve been assaulted.”
