How could they do this? Simple. It’s called the law. Something you were supposed to uphold, not break.

Deen told Snow he is “baffled” by the accusations, adding, “All of the accusations are from either ex-girlfriends or events that happened on set.”

I am fairly certain that my father has never said a disparaging word about me to another human being. He has called me out on bad behavior (and god, I was pretty much awful from birth to age 23), and I’m not claiming he hasn’t used the full scope of the English language in his head, but I would put down $1,000 in a…

I still remember (not so fondly) when my dad called me a “bitch,” though that may be because it was gendered. Not sure if asshole is different. Also, I think saying “you’re acting like x” is much different than saying “you are x,” which does seem like it can be scarring...something about the generalizing and force…

If only there was a sub blog on Jezebel where you could share terrible restaurant stories... Oh wait there was one, but they decided women didn’t like that sort of thing. I’m not bitter at all.

I hear the men I work with all the time talking about how SUUUPER careful they have to be because of sexual harassment laws. What a BURDEN they are.

My usual strategy is to turn what ever they said into something extra creepy.

Any time you’re in the Midwest, c’mona my house.

Verhoeven says on the commentary track that he tried to present fascism in the best possible light because he thought that was the most cutting criticism. You’ve got actual world peace, and an actual enemy to fight to justify the insane militarism, at the same time avoiding the uncomfortable problem of killing human…

I still have a serious question.

sure. provided you answer me one question: are you truly ignorant or just trolling?

Today, Manning has her own cell with “two tall vertical windows that face the sun.” She can see “trees and hills and blue sky and all the things beyond the buildings and razor wire,” she says. “My mind barely acknowledges the buildings anymore.” She spends much of her time in the prison library, where she types up…

Try looking at it from a different point of view. How would people react if women prisoners were forcibly shaved down to such extreme haircuts? As I posted just the other day, forced haircutting has a long history as a gender-based violence towards noncompliant women. Here’s one example of many.

First, it’s Chelsea Manning, and she is already a woman. No, it’s not cosmetic. It’s in accordance with medical advice from two Army specialists.
