Sex trafficking does happen, but not nearly at the rates that are reported which has the unfortunate effect of obscuring those who really need help. Trafficking is much more common in farm and domestic labor - where women are also assaulted - but those aren’t as flashy as sex trafficking.

Pat “Trans People Don’t Pee” McCrory?

Don’t forget NC governor Pat McCrory who signed the lovely HB2, fucking over LGBT rights in my state!

Jan Brewer’s out on a technicality - she’s no longer the governor of Arizona. Mike Pence (anti LGBT, forced birther) can sub in for her.

I’ve seen those too, but I don’t follow gawker on my fb feed so I don’t see them as often.

As long as it’s better than that godawful movie.

Um, what?

Does the work negatively affect your ability to connect with others, specifically men in what would be considered “normal” relationships. Do you enjoy the work but say you regret having to make the choice to do it?

What is the line of demarcation that separates “high-class” hookery from other tiers?

Sounds like she’s cold, powerful, and uber sexual (but probably not in a realistic way. Meaning…

You have an interesting point of view (Why the hell are you still grey???)

the movie was sooooooooo terrible, i don’t know that i can waste even a minute of eyeballs on this.

No mention that this show has advertised heavily on Jezebel?

Yup the strident sanders people I know all basically shrugged it off as “meh I’m not too upset about him dodging a few questions."

I have been considering Sanders the left’s Donald Trump, but the transcript has just solidified it. They have very similar speech patterns and it’s unnerving how much is “I think” comes up with no actual backup. If you’re going to throw out accusations or big solutions, maybe do some research first? You’re only…

That quote made me smile.

Too late to edit but I will note Jezebel finally posted about this interview. After saying it is an “overstatement” to call it a disaster, they tried to redirect the conversation to silly bullshit about subway tokens. At one point this site actually had some decent politics coverage, and now we get this crap.

..... srsly badASS turn of phrase!! Excellent.

woah that’s a powerful description.
