I don't think anyone's experience precludes them from making a valid argument

Lol right so the lobby is using her because she can’t have a voice or opinion of her own? God forbid anyone criticize sex work on Jezebel. 🙄🙄🙄

What is a colloquialism? Is it sexist?

Oh, please. If they hadn’t referred to her ethnicity, this same site would be screaming about how her blackness was overlooked. Seriously, come on...

Weird, my TV was full of all those women AND Phelps for a good week. The gymnastics coverage was predominately the women. And it was fine.

Oh, give me a break. This was an innocent, clumsy mistake. The person who wrote it was trying to emphasize the fact that a black person won a sport in an area where blacks are stereotypically considered not to be strong. The phrase, “blacks can’t swim,” has always been a common trope. Bad writing, but in no way mean

Not the only story, only the biggest.

You’re a fucking idiot with no idea about the makings of modern journalism. That story got more eyeballs with the mention of the Bears than it would have otherwise. It would have never been in the Chicago Tribune if she hadn't been married to a Bear. And finally, writers rarely, if ever, write the headlines that

on the other hand, if the only reason anyone in that particular area is likely to give a flying rats patoot about the story is that its related to something local to them... it at least somewhat makes sense.


Can we agree that it’s unlikely Hillary Clinton would have been a Senator or Secretary of State if she wasn’t married to Bill?

I assume you were totally and completely fine with, say, Augusta National Golf Club refusing to have female members for so many years. And that is a private organization that receives no federal funding.

This line is way way way way way tired anyway, and to say it about a young person who has essentially committed a misdemeanor (or anyone really) is disgusting.

it’s math..... India’s population is over a billion. OF COURSE it’s a tiny fraction. Doesn’t make it right, but also doesn’t make it right to paint 1/8 of the entire world population with the same brush.

Well as a Jew, all I can say is that it’s amusing to me that people are acting all surprised that people on the left would resort to anti-semitism. You have no idea how many times people on the left have decided I’m some fanatical Israeli supporter ready to kill the first Arab I meet just because I’m a Jew.

So because all of us are capable of evil, does that mean that people who actually act on it shouldn’t have to face the consequences? Maybe we’re all capable of cold blooded murder, but most of us never actually carry it out. Which is why we’re not in prison.

I don’t let myself off the hook. I don’t find parts in any of this that makes me feel the slightest bit good about myself,” she said during the hearing.

I know that when I’m hiring someone for my own company, my first inquiry is not “are you competant? Are you qualified?” Instead it’s “are you interesting??”

I’m not sure it was really necessary to refer to the Cuban-born Sabates as a “minority” in this racist headline.

I know! I can’t believe Gawker didn’t get their hands on it first!

Killing cops probably won't help the cause. Just sayin...
