Sorry Quantum! Late night confusion. Confused you with DGibson. You are absolutely correct. Too bad Kinja won’t let me delete.

WTF are you talking about? The “Guillotine of public and professional opinion” came down so hard on Katie she lost her job and does not have it back. She is still in court trying to get the legal system to acknowledge what her husband did was revenge porn. For the record, I do think having personal relationships with…

Typical of those who enjoy the status quo to talk about it as if it is in the past. It is not in the past for women who still deal with double standards at work. To see a man being given his job back for failing to meet the most basic social contract that we have with each other as civilized human beings distills the…

It was not behind closed doors. He was at work. Virtually, yes. But, At Work. The double standard is ridiculous. Women have been fired, punished and shamed for breast feeding, showing cleavage, wearing the wrong length of skirts/dresses, accidentally “revealing” they do in fact menstruate, runs in their hosiery…

This is one of the reasons why Republicans do better than Democrats. Republicans understand political theater. They go to the border in military fatigues and guns. They stage a confrontation with “coyotes”. Meanwhile Democrats diligently talk about root causes and try to take a systems approach. Well systemic root…

Agreed. Biden gave her a poisoned chalice by making her the face of the immigration issue. She will be pummeled by the progressives in primaries for being hawkish. She will be pummeled by the Republicans for not being xenophobic enough. It’s a lose-lose situation for her. 

Thank you. A minority made this a thing, the majority of people looked into it and shrugged at the nothingness of it all. Most of the liberal internet-sphere has been eye-rolling at these headlines and very few people actually blame her. It’s almost as if some people can understand the results of one cursory…

Unfortunately this is a trend for female artists whose male partners are their “managers” Kelly Clarkson is going through the same thing.

Most people have never encountered a bear but know better than to be the keyboard expert saying this was not so dangerous. Especially when zoo and park experts quoted in the coverage are like please never do this under any circumstances.

What a ridiculous person. The headline says shove, the video shows her literally shoving the bear. No exaggeration there, just a factual description. The bear is at least 2 times her size even if it is “relatively smaller” than other bears. There is no reason to assume that a retreating bear wouldn’t maul the fuck out…

It’s exhausting how there is nothing girls/women can do without some dude trying to explain why what they did was not that impressive actually.

There was hardly a take there. Gosh what passes for thought process over there has really devolved. Dude couldn’t be bothered to excercise his cognitive faculties beyond “suck it up”.

Cool. So the tennis organizations ran out one of their best vibrant, young talent because they wanted to seem tough. Pats on the back all round. 

It’s disingenuous for the tennis federations to pretend this is the first time they are hearing about taxing press coverage of their players. We don’t know what Naomi Osaka may or may not have said to them. But I wouldn’t take the claims that they were “blindsided” at face value. In my experience, organizations are…

Fair. But this seems like a good opportunity for the tennis organizations to review the press commitments. Come up with ways to make press less intrusive and obstructive to their players. Everyone else endures it is not a good reason to make people go through it. 

Right. Kick out one of the top seeded, most visible and most marketable players tennis has ever seen? Also risk pissing off Japanese and American audiences? 

Exactly. If the press commitment is not draining, why would doing it place the other competitors at a disadvantage?

The good sis grossed 50+ million last year. She is paid up and unbothered. Her genius is in how she is pre-shaming the tennis officials into donating the fine to mental health charities. She is playing chess, while they are playing tic-tac-toe. 

Cannot nod vigorously enough. The reaction to the photo and her presence at the White House was over the top performative. It seemed like satire on our current obsession with “wholesome” stories. Like “Heartwarming! Black Dad died just so Black Girl could go to the White House”. Everyone invokes her for the most…

It’s impossible to get through to Gwen Stefani types when the sense of entitlement and the conviction in their goodness is so strong. She truly believes her rules were the “unifying” rules. Despite the evidence that all that “learning, sharing, and growing from each other” only served her. In her mind, she was just a…
