It was an elegant dodge. Let’s face it, feminism has a PR problem. Mostly because of its detractors, who have done a good job of portraying us as man haters in the media. But I also think feminism is partly to blame for why it’s now considered such a loaded term.

Disappointing, sure. I guess. But as I was reading Jia’s piece I just kept thinking, wait, am I supposed to care that a bunch of sorority twits are failing over each other and failing exams to be doormats/slaves to a bunch of fraternity douches? They're morons by choice.

He’s right though. People need to stop acting like an off the cuff remark is court testimony to be quoted for prosperity. Sometimes people say stuff to shoot the shit, and it's not meant to be taken so godamn seriously.

And he wrote the screenplay for it based from feedback from test audiences. He basically turned history into a summer blockbuster.

But what's the fun in that?

Who’s judging? I like Huma and think she’s a million times better than her cheating asshat of a husband. But be perfectly honest now, you never wondered: why on earth did she stay with him? Maybe you’re extra saintly or something but most of us wonder. Not the same as judging. As for the association with Weiner…

Breaking news: every major religion is sexist and has barbaric views on women. More at 8.

Because the first thing that comes to mind when hearing her name, for me and many other people, is “the woman who stayed married to that living joke, Anthony Weiner, who clearly didn’t learn his lesson the first time around and tanked is career”. It might not hurt her as long as she’s just Hillary’s sidekick but if…

So you’re saying you want me to address you differently than I would anyone else because you’re a WoC, and refrain from being honest about my opinions? Personally I would find that condescending but you’re right, what do I know.

Yeah but if you’re going to have an agreement with your incorrigible manwhore husband, at least pick one with a future and a career who will help yours, like Hillary did. Weiner is a joke and at this point being married to him is holding her back and hurting her career.

This! As much as I disagreed with you in the comments on that diplo article, I’m with you here. She doesn’t need that asshat of a husband, he’s hurting her career more than he’s helping and her credibility is being called into question not because of what he did, but because she chose to stay after he did it not once,…

She’s a person. And she has agency. And she chose to stay with her asshat of a husband despite not needing to. At this point, being associated with him is probably hurting her career. I don’t get it. Either that asshole Weiner is the best lay in the world or she's got the worst taste in men, ever.

Interesting. I read it more as criticism of her for staying with him despite his actions. Which you have to admit, does make you wonder, what the hell is she doing? She’s accomplished and ambitious and has a career of her own, he will never be taken seriously again and doesn’t need the dead weight or the constant…

Maybe passive aggressive would be a better term, that and I get the distinct impression that you have no interest in a good faith discussion, and instead of it just being two people having a discussion on the Internet, you make it about me calling WoC aggro. Sorry but I don’t address people differently depending on…

Why the aggro? Everyone answered your question nicely and in good faith, I'm starting to think you just wanted to start an argument all along...

Diplo’s such a silly, angry little man.

They review all kinds of music.

It’s weird and I don’t like it. I’m just so over the outrage porn that has taken over. And the disproportionate reactions that are now the norm.

Lighten up, it was just a joke ;)
