Sure, true.  The difference now, though, is also that anyone interested can broadcast their horseshit to everyone, easily.

In a house where six young people live, I can imagine it’s a near-constant stream of coming and going, noise, random friends, etc... might as well just install a revolving door. That one of the survivors is being persecuted is beyond awful; it’s so easy for the people who weren’t there, who will never experience…

Discussing crime and the criminal system in online communities makes me ill these days.

We could also do away with the archetype that marriage is some sort of sacred institution rather than a fabrication born in relatively recent history that is completely unnatural biologically speaking, and was more about the transfer of generational wealth than some holy union between a loving man and woman.

Rashad Robinson, president of the nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization Color of Change, was enlisted as a consulting producer on the show, and says Dahmer is highly critical of the police and systemic failures—fueled by homophobia and white supremacy—that allowed Dahmer to kill so many gay men and boys of…

I don’t understand why Jezebel of all places keeps getting this wrong. Nia Long is undeniably iconic. In fact that whole generation of black women (Sanaa Lathan, Regina Hall, Tracee Ellis Ross, Gabrielle Union etc) are elite. If you want to write about her awesomeness, just do. But his organization does not care that…

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka has officially been suspended by the organization after reportedly cheating on Nia Long with a woman staffer. No one messes with Nia Long, and Udoka is learning that the hard way.

Did you actually read what I wrote? Again, the point for these folks isn’t to avoid “contaminating” themselves with animal products. It’s to remove their monetary (and moral/discursive) support for a system that kills animals. They do that by buying alternatives and avoiding buying animal products. It’s about dollars,…

It’s for people who want to eat less meat but don’t care about going full veg/vegan. Pretty easy to figure out.

Right? They are acting like vegans and vegetarians are treating food preparation like Jews and Muslims when it comes to pork. Not saying some aren’t, but it’s definitely not the norm.

They’re following the example set by Musk. Musk deserves the blame for this.

That’s not what they're making fun of us for...

I think you’re being ludicrous but that’s not why I called you out or what I was responding to.

okay, i won’t call it gatekeeping.

LOL. I bet you’re one of those pricks who every time you see a girl in a band shirt you accost her and demand she name every song. You’re a living meme caricature. The Sailor Moon gatekeeper on Kinja. Holy cow that’s pathetic!

You must be fun at parties

It’s depressing how much thinly veiled misogyny comes out in the comments of ANY story involving Jolie.

Once again illustrating that the issues with law enforcement in the US are both institutional and systemic.

I mean, the problem with your approach is that you’re essentially talking about pretending to be someone else. You can’t pick 10-12 characteristics and “make” yourself have them if you don’t. All you can do is fake it, and women aren’t stupid. If, beneath the behavior, you don’t respect women/don’t like to…

You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you can…
