I understand your viewpoint. Gawd knows I do. You make excellent points, in fact little you’ve said isn’t true - sometimes. That “sometimes”is my sticking point though. I honestly almost didn’t bring this up because not only will someone accuse me of really vile shit, someone else will use my words as justification…

Not clear if you are trolling or genuinely can’t read good. I responded to another commenter who noted that “...this isn’t nuanced...”. I commented that *YES*,often this is absolutely nuanced since the same signals from 2 different women can mean 2 different things. No idea how anyone reading that would be led to…

She shouldn’t get the money that any of those you mentioned got, but 500k is ludicrous. At least 1-6 million seems more in line with her resume and expected audience. 500k sounds like a deal more suited to a newcomer with a sparse resume but surging popularity. I wouldn’t call myself her primary audience, but *I*…

“Irefuse to believe that dudes genuinely struggle with situations like this one. It’s really not as nuanced as we’re making it sound.”

“Sometimessociety is so caught up in the blame game that we lose sight of trying to find solutions to the problem. We have to force ourselves to question the where, when, why and what is causing these problems. Once we are able to identify the issue, we can brainstorm solutions to prevent these things from happening.”

“...instead of railing against how child protective services functions, and yes, they fuck up royally sometimes...rally against child abuse in general so that these systems are not needed...”

I’ll let it go after this post,but we simply don’t agree on how ‘simple’ this is. The system has real problems, which causes real problems for innocent families. Not having a child taken away immediately is no doubt a great comfort to impacted families, but there is a whole lot of ongoing, long lasting harm done by…

As maddening as it is to you - someone with knowledge and experience in the field - it’s more complicated for the rest of us. Some people are lazy or don’t want to offend, but some of us genuinely can’t always determine where the line between concerned neighbor and busybody resides. Many of us have also heard horror…

I almost missed this because I had plans with my kids Sat morning. I happened to turn on the TV while I was getting dressed and was rewarded for having done so. I. Loved. This. Joy Reid generally asks tough questions, but to see her not take any BS as I often wish hosts would do was amazing. I was literally out of my…

“...As a semi-relevant aside, does anyone ever get the feeling that Trump’s lawyers are not very good? That cease-and-desist letter may have been one of the most idiotic bluffs I’ve ever seen...”

And don’t forget that the last “uncorruptible” FBI man who we were lead to believe would take down Trump, spring that October surprise on Clinton, while never mentioning that the FBI was investigating Trump’s campaign. I’m repeatedly quoting myself at this point, but “integrity” simply doesn’t mean the same to these…

I’ve read this take before and I still don’t understand it. How could Oprah, or anyone else who is not tied in to the victims know that this was happening? There were rumors for years, but there are rumors of some kind about *everyone* who is somebody in the industry. The best anyone can do is ask questions, hope to…

“Or! Or... Icing out women is a super obvious thing, and all the men dumb enough to try this strategy will get hit with a civil rights lawsuit so hard their ancestors apologize.

I heard that that same footage shows the aliens spiriting away the real JFK killers, AND Hillary doing Benghazi. Why not for won’t the media report tis??????!1!!11

I find these stories hilarious for many reasons, but probably the biggest reason is that Trump *GENUINELY* thinks he can demand loyalty though that loyalty isn’t reciprocal*. It’s astounding that he thinks people will screw themselves over to be loyal to him just cause he is so great. These stories are gonna keep…

Does anyone really have an issue with his demand to be paid well for last minute work *crucial* to the studio’s plans to rescue a film after disassociating itself from an actor who’d made himself a pariah? The problem is that his co-star wasn’t paid well. That’s some BULLSHIT, no matter how you look at it.

Fun fact: Staying “thin”, which isn’t perfectly correlated with good health as some assume, is expensive! And time consuming! And difficult for many of us! It is a whole hell of a lot more complex than simply “eat less”. I’m sure you know that though.

I confess I totally misunderstood this when I first heard it. I thought Wahlberg was brought in to shoot new scenes for a movie that he wasn’t initially in. That doesn’t explain wtf Williams would accept only $1000, but it would explain a large salary for Wahlberg. I thought this was a bad example of a very real wrong…

I don’t know... The way she responds to questions sometimes, reminds me of someone who has accepted her fate. Someone who realizes that she ain’t shit, ain’t never been shit, and ain’t ever gone be shit. Given her background as the girl child of an asshole preacher, she must have learned that pretty early. I generally…

“Thisis so typical of our government to go after the brown face of illegal immigration (because they never mention the European who arrives on a tourist visa and then never goes back home)“
