I haven’t blamed the school. I get that British public schools had their own culture back in the day. They thought their mission was to toughen up little white boys to make them fit to hold the reigns of Empire. It was what it was.

Anne’s kids couldn’t be a prince and princess whether she wanted them to or not. These titles aren’t handled down through the female line, if their mother isn’t the heir apparent.

A very dear friend of mine worked at the British consulate when Charles was coming to NY for his Environmental Warrior blah blah award. What Tom Bower wrote is exactly what I heard about that trip. Charles and Camilla drove everyone at the Consulate insane with their demands to the point where my friend asked for a…

Are they from sock designer Rob Kardashian?

There’s nothing romantic about being a fool in love. Prenups are like wearing a seatbelt. I don’t plan to crash my car every time I drive—I really, really don’t want that to happen and do everything I can to avoid it, in fact—but I know it’s a good idea to wear my seatbelt just in case. I despise the notion that…

Years ago, I moved in with my fiance, Greg, who had a cat named Molly. I love all animals and thought Molly and I had a good relationship; at least, she had never given me a reason to believe otherwise.

I had a mascara that was like that. Whatever you do, do not use Benefit Cosmetics mascara. A) it won’t come off and b) when it does come off, sometimes an eyelash or two comes with it. Seriously, I lost like 10 eyelashes to that goop.

Man, do not recommend Stila Glitter and Glow if you’re mid 20s and up. It is appropriate for Vegas or something where you’re like I want to wear insane makeup! I experimented with it the night before work and couldn’t get all the glitter off even after taking a shower.

Oh, she absolutely was an adult when she made that decision, and as an adult she is responsible for her choices. At the same time, I’m interested in how women, myself included, process living under patriarchy. I think there’s a lot of denial there in order to function.

She was undeniably sexualized at the same age as Polanski’s victim, and I imagine her having to process her own past might have confused her on the issue.

I can see that. It’s good that she admits her mistake but there is a it of please forgive me and stop asking in the background.

To the rape apologist whose comment I just cheerfully dismissed:

I’m tired so maybe I feeling generous but I read it like she made a mistake and she has empathy for people who have made similar mistakes. I don’t think she’s saying she has empathy for Polanski.

Thank you for dismissing the “but she forgave him” excuse. It was “The State versus Roman Polanski”, not “Samantha Geimer versus Roman Polanski”. Once charges are filed, the state comes in to take over: many victims of intimate partner violence “forgive” their abusers in an effort to get charges dropped - either out…

You almost tricked me into watching a Justin Timberlake video. Well played. Take your spot in the rickroll hall of fame

They think it extends the line of their leg. I’m not sure WHY they think that, because I think it just calls attention to the end of their leg line and often makes it look like they have hooves.

God that was weird. Even as a homely little teenager who definitely wasn’t having any sex I remember thinking that was 1. really odd that they were talking about this stuff in public and 2. very obviously a lie in 100% of the cases.

Just kidding! Rape culture is not something that goes away when I shut the WiFi off.
