I can't really speculate but based on what she said about wanting to discuss the NSA, my guess is she has intellectual interests other than feminism that drive her choices and she decided to deal with working for a guy who was kind of a dick in order to do work she found interesting. Just because he's an asshole…

I think you have a strong point here. That said...I think there's a slight difference in that the person she is calling out is Notorious Asshole Aaron Sorkin. If she'd said something that implicated a colleague who was a peer, that's one thing, and that would absolutely justify your concern. But if you're working for…

Sorry, this New Yorker read a different story called "SAM KASS IS MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY, MOTHERFUCKERS"

Eh, I've been thinking about that a lot lately (as a part of the whole "don't defriend your racist/ignorant friends, stay and educate them) but frankly, I don't think engaging with people like that is productive. When someone who's educated, someone who works as a journalist, for god's sake, persists in asking what I…

Yeah, that was the tone I felt too—he seems to use his blog most often when he feels vindicated about one of his less-enlightened opinions. And to me, in this day and age and climate, I actually *don't* take it as a given that "of course everyone wants to support rape victims" which seems to be the most he ever needs…

I mean, he's what, 50 now? He owns a home, he's married, he has two sons—all of those are things that make someone more conservative. I know he calls himself a liberal politically, but I found his social attitudes to be woefully behind the times. I think he sees himself as one of the last real journalists and fancies…

I think as time has passed that he's gotten more and more entrenched in the kind of privilege that comes with being a wealthy, middle-aged white male intellectual. When I knew him, he constantly took what I think he saw as a contrarian stance, but was frankly pretty regressive at times. It was as much my fault as his…

I would submit that it's so obvious neither Teen Vogue nor Cosmo meant "shade throwing" literally, it hardly bears this esteemed court's time. In the grand tradition of women's magazines, they have taken phrases resonant in popular culture and used them incorrectly to create a pithy caption. It is why every fashion…

I think the change to XM was really good for him creatively. Now that he's not so worried about pleasing a huge public audience and keeping his numbers up, he can be less revolting and more interesting.

The little boy singing "C C" in the background is Hudson Kroenig, who has the best life (and the hottest dad) of anyone here.

I used to work for him! This is...typical.

Well, did you *TRY* cuddling with a cow for a few minutes?

Aw shucks! Can I get un-greyed now??

And yet, from the exact same edition...

She's an officer in the Ferguson Police Department. Probably not an opposing viewpoint in that house.

Who the fuck keeps taking taxis to Hempstead?

I'm just curious about the campaign; I saw a retweet or two (Bianca Jagger!) but didn't realize it was coming from you. Whoever you think is best!

Hey Kelly—curious to talk more about this (for my real job as an editor at a large women's magazine). Is there an email where I can reach you?

Well, you nailed it, he was definitely one of those. I don't think he'd ever really written a thing. I am not a writer of your kind, I'm a working journalist, and even I qualify my statements when I say I'm a writer, despite being paid actual legal tender to produce words every day. Part of me wants to be like "yes,…

Actually, I thought differently. As I was reading the RS article, it seemed pretty clear to me that the reporter was implying heavily that Eramo is in fact the person who COULD be handling these problems and clearly isn't, but because she was given no access to Eramo to ask questions (every mention of Eramo is…
