I’m pretty sure the comments sections on this website are full of middle class people who are disenchanted with our social contract!

It’s not necessary. As the boss, he’s the one who decides what’s appropriate. Even if all the customers love it, he’s still within his purvue as supervisor to say no. Maybe his boss overrules him, but until then it’s his call.

That’s not how being a manager works. You’re responsible for the appearance of your staff. If I wore assless chaps to work (even though my dress code doesn’t specifically outlaw assless chaps) it would be someone’s job to tell me not to do that because although some establishments are fine with assless chaps, this one…

The people who would lose their jobs or be disgraced deserve to lose their jobs or be disgraced. Burn it all down.

That teacher was a mandated reporter and should have reported it directly to the police or child protective services.  A note to the principal does not meet that legal obligation and at minimum he should be fined and have his license suspended. 

Right. It’s not women who are confused about the difference between harassment and assault. Most of us learn that first hand, at very young ages, a lesson which is repeated often enough so that there’s really no opportunity to forget.

Poor Fan Bingbing.  She’s probably in a world of hurt right now.  Hope that she makes it out of their clutches.  I suspect we’ll see her after awhile discussing how she was wrong and the government was right and she’ll be a good little citizen going forward.  Or, we may just never see her again.

Here, literally one of the first results a ten second Google for “Jumaane Williams abortion”.

She’d get shit on even if she did leave him (she knew! why didn’t she leave him sooner? complicit!) and her career at the network is probably over since he’s out and it seems like she owed most of it to him anyway, so if she’s not unhappy in her marriage, why would she leave him now?

Speaking of Evening Shade, I was very surprised that none of the fluff pieces on Burt Reynolds I saw mentioned his 4 or 5 year run on this show, which was at times quite charming.

That is tied with the Ray Don rant as my all time faves

In addition to legal defense funding from Times Up, I’d love to see projects from sidelined women, especially this one, financed as well. I would have watched the shit out of Fully Clothed Non-Dancing Women!

Designing Women WAS FANTASTIC! Why hasn’t it ever been on syndication anywhere? Nearly all the shows of its time have been or currently are. Things are really adding up!

I have always loved her work and wondered what happened to her career. Such great material, then...nothing.

You know what? All this shit being flung at her on top of the terrorist attack, Aretha’s memorial, etc. have made me a fan of this woman. Ultimately couldn’t care less about her music, but fuck the haters.

Yeah but she wasn’t an interview subject and this wasn’t a news interview. She was booked as a speaker on a specific topic, and questions/discussion was to relate to the topic they booked her for (as noted above). If they weren’t interested in her thoughts on the topic of the speech, they shouldn’t have booked her to…

It’s about poking fun at someone who ran in “elite” circles (fame/actor money/etc) who has fallen to being one of the working schmucks. It says a lot about the folks who are making fun of him. This whole story is reflective of how disgusting the average joe is. 

Watching that clip lastnight made me ENRAGED. All women have been there. We've all experienced groping in a public place. We've all tried to ignore it because we didn't want to be "that woman" who called out the dude in front of everybody, ruining the vibe. We have all been there. He's a piece of shit. 

I don’t know much about this bishop but I do know a lot about churches and my husband and I concluded that this is probably how he acts all the time, both the questionable ‘jokes’ and overly touchy/gropy in his own church (which Wikipedia tells me is a megachurch and that he basically inherited his position there from…
