I’m an avid reader of Jezebel, and I’ve seen countless comments here that say more or less, “no old white men.” Are we pretending now that that’s not a thing?

She might have said that they had not issues and he never did anything to suspect that he would harass or assault her, which for her could be a neutral statement of the facts as she know them. That “supports” Dr. Luke, but that isn’t the same thing as taking his side.

Over 80% of the U.S. Asian population arrived since 1960, and its from that population that the majority of applicants to elite colleges come from, so really, the situation is quite similar to the admittance of new African immigrants vs. those from families that have been here for generations.

I would say that cinema poptivism makes the Oscars unnecessary. We already have a robust awards system for popular movies: money.

He writes this article and it gets published because it’s interesting to a large group of readers, which is how journalism works. I understand how an article that focuses on transitioning problems/mistakes is threatening to those who are pushing for more acceptance, but the idea that the article should spend more time…

“The difference is are all those stereotypes weaponized against the groups they represent in real life?”

Yes? Is there reason to believe that other Simpson’s stereotypes haven’t been used to mock people because no one made a movie about it?

Let’s have an honest debate. This is about using stereotypes, period. Going…

Not yet. I don’t know how you can actually pull off multiple affairs and such misbehavior without manipulation and gaslighting.

I believe Junot Diaz. I also think this piece will protect him from having the Sherman Alexie moment which was probably coming his way.

“Only among asshole rape apologists.”

“all art is activism”

If the message is what’s important, not the art, then there are so many other works, books, essays, that convey that same message so much more fully and articulately.

The #metoo movement is much more effective in taking down ostensibly woke males whose livelihood depends on female audiences and audiences that are swayed by female outrage over how they’ve been treated. But Kelly may exist outside that bubble and as such, may be more resistant to the movement.

Something like this. One man said, joking-not-joking, “Trump screwed a porn star and a playboy centerfold. Just when I thought I couldn’t respect him more!”

I kind of agree. I don’t have any opinion about Che, but I have a problem with the idea that someone more successful shouldn’t respond to critics if they are more successful or famous than those critics. What is that? Imbalances of power are real and a problem when you’re talking about sexual harassment, but its not a…

Interesting. I had never read that.

Yep, this one show about a comic book character has killed intersectional feminism. It’s over. Pack your bags and turn off the lights.

I was worried. The first season used all of the character’s source material from the wonderful comic Alias that introduced Jessica Jones. This season, the writers are making it up from scratch.

Because men are the ones in power, ambitious women often have no alternatives but to turn to them for professional guidance or mentorship. And yet, I am always suspicious of any person who enters into a relationship that is not based on some balanced reciprocity. If one is giving and not getting in turn, call me a…

He probably knows why women want to be around him, but he really has only one reason to want to be around them. And so that’s the transaction he assumes is taking place.

It’s getting to the point that rich and famous men can’t use their success to get laid. I’m sure they’re asking themselves, “what then has all this been for?”

He was awarded full custody of their children?
