You’re not the problem. You are whole, and perfect. But the phenomenon of ‘double consciousness’ described by DuBois is real, where we simultaneously see ourselves as whole/human, and at the same time as white culture sees us (threatening, less deserving, less human). And that becomes triple consciousness for women of…

What a weird comment to leave considering current events and current goings-on at The Wing. Your only comment to the piece itself is how you worry men will receive it.

Every time I read another one of these I feel like some dude out there is saying to himself ‘and that’s why women shouldn’t run shit.’

Then get on the subway and talk to people you weird fuck.

“Oh, I just wanted to waste your time.”

My one experience with Condé Nast was a weird one. I was brought in to interview for some entry level position and met with an editor (I don’t remember what division). After our meeting was done, I was told the publisher wanted to meet with me. I was sent into a big, fancy office where I was promptly told “Forget…

I was thinking that they must only pay editors/contractors (some that were originally on staff like Claire Saffitz and Rick Martinez quit and came back as “contributors” for specific content or a show) who have their own shows or series, not ones who just appear in videos or do “from the test kitchen” or “makes…

This is going to be a tough watch. I was raped when I was 20 at a college party. Drank too much, blacked out, went in and out of consciousness as a guy I didn’t know raped me. It’s been 13 years and I’ve only just recently been able to view it as rape. I laughed it off, ignored it, avoided it, blamed myself. It’s a…

I don’t think Geraldine’s a spy because that would be terrible writing (what are the chances of a spymaster’s daughter being a spy for the other side?). I think she’s been trying to come out to her mom but her mom’s not giving her the chance.

There are very, very few people, historically or otherwise, who inspire such physical, visceral hate in me as Schafly does. So did so much damage, caused so many women to believe the patriarchy is good for them, caused so many men to realize the power they had over said women.

Completely understandable! I won’t watch the Handmaiden’s Tale because I just can’t take so much physical abuse against women anymore. But I think it’s also a sort of perfect time to see this series because of the current attacks on abortion rights, especially with Schafly disciples like Manafort and Stone around and…

“But according to Mrs. America, Schlafly already has.”

“A too-brief scene depicting a party at Black Power activist Flo Kennedy’s house, played by Niecy Nash, just barely skims a discussion of radical black feminists and their reticence to align with white feminists and lesbians.”

I don’t know if I can watch this show. Although it sounds like there are some rich representations of ERA movement leaders, with all of the attacks on abortion rights going on right now and the unlikelihood that the ERA is going to advance any further, a show that even slightly humanizes American history’s biggest…

I have no idea whether this lady killed her husband or not, but there is NO STANDARD OF GRIEF. No one has to act a certain way after their spouse dies, and no one in that state owes it to anyone to put on a show to prove they are or are not sad.

He’s been missing for almost 23 years, how long do you have to carry a torch for a manipulative asshole before you’re allowed to not cry at the mention of his name?

I don’t remember the TRO making it into the show at all, though. The stuff you’re referring to is coming from other sources (the podcast, news articles about the show). The fact of the matter is that the show kinda glossed over a lot of the Carole Baskin husband stuff but one of the main takeaways has still…

Yeah, the cost of living in the major coastal cities is ridiculous. They’ve become places for really wealthy people to live....and for ridiculously wealthy people to park their money and not live (investing in $$$ penthouses that they never visit).  And the not wealthy folks that are crucial to actually existing in a…

Not to be that old lady, and not that this doesn’t suck, but ime your 20s are nothing but a series of dreams dying, one after another. The great thing about dreams is that they are a renewable resource, and you get used to it.

I was born and grew up in San Francisco and I’m really, really old.
