But, but, my religion says everyone has bodily autonomy! Except women, their shit needs to be locked down.

it’s funny when you can use your religion to both protect your bodily autonomy from vaccines and restrict the bodily autonomy of women.

I have not yet seen this (because I am holding out on ponying up for yet another streaming service), but am just here to say - there is nothing that cannot be improved upon with the addition of Amy Sedaris. That is all.

Juianne Hough is the same woman that was thoroughly criticized for doing blackface a few years ago, so I’m not shocked that she lacks any semblance of solidarity.

Maybe I’m hyper-aware due to the nature of those who hate trans folks, but my initial thought on seeing this was that it was some sort of TERF-adjacent thing. Like, on the back it might say “PRESERVE FEMALE SPACES” or some shite like that.

Is this Dessen’s kinja account? Someone giving tepid praise to your book is “being an asshole”? And if Dessen can react this poorly to someone making an offhand comment about her book and you defend that, I’m not sure why you don’t also think everyone else has the right to think she’s unhinged in reaction to her.

Does that even imply teen girls have low standards? If I said Twilight is fine for teen girls, but shouldn’t be the choice for a college’s required freshman read, wouldn’t that generally be understood as being about Twilight and not teen girls? After all, Twilight is literally a book intended for teen girls. It’s…

Plenty of times. Did I then turn to social media so that my thousands of fans could help me pile on a single person? No. No one handed Sarah Dessen a clipping from the local news in Aberdeen, South Dakota, saying “you’ve got to see this”. She sought that out, and then felt so hurt that the internet didn’t return…

Truly, the person who compared this to Larry Nassar’s systematic abuse of girls and women needs to get a hold of themselves. That they thought one very successful woman’s bruised ego was equivalent to the pain caused to tens of women who were sexually assaulted multiple times is incredibly insulting to his victims. 

I was particularly disturbed by Dessen’s tweets about how this one young woman’s opinion was ‘mean and cruel’ and had ruined her day. It seems this 50 year old woman has less emotional maturity than the 15 year old kids she writes about.

The problem with this is the power difference. Bestselling, millionaire authors with large fan bases are attacking an unknown college student and pretending the criticism actually hurts them in any real way. It doesn’t.

Ms. Dorram responded to him saying that he was “missing the point.”

Is it a plain white wall with nothing on it? I can’t imagine him wanting to stare at a wall with any vibrant colors or imagery.

He’s not just staring. He’s attempting a mind meld.

Staring at a wall is Jared’s favorite hobby, so this makes perfect sense. 

From my experience, people that like Adam Sandler Movies typically fall in the Gen X group of olds. Perhaps your experience is different?

I love that she thinks marrying a white European man proves she isn’t racist.

I’m sure he’s a nice dude.  I just can’t get past his politics in this day and age. 

Tom died in a car accident and wouldn’t you know, Kate received a heart transplant. The heart was Tom’s. Last Christmas, he gave her his heart.

I would call her the poster child for corporate feminism; which is not feminism at all, but branding for oblivious rich white women; but let’s be honest, she hasn’t even accomplished enough to be considered a “corporate success”.  She is a trophy daughter who spouts nonsensical things which she thinks are clever and…
