You see Hathaway looking unnatural as a blond. I see a specific aesthetic choice to put her in an unnatural Barbie hair color to create tension when she’s onscreen or to allude to something intrinsically mismatched in her character.

I have also been a dubious witness to this sort of behavior. Do you think they close ranks because they are scared and projecting? I think that many of these dudes remember times when they committed a similar act or feel their moral compass could easily allow them a future despicable act. (It was a joke!) (Gee women…

Trump advisors told him if he didn’t give her a hearing, Trump might end up giving her SCOTUS

This is the bullshit of abusers and racists: to say it’s a ‘joke’ to escape criticism of ugly assed behavior.

I hate that abusers of all types think it’s their intentions and what’s in their heart of heart that matters. People should be judged by their actions!

“...it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.”

Everything I read about Brendan Fraser just makes me want to wrap him in a blanket and give him a cup of tea. Poor guy.

Of course, Clara Saint said that about Andre Leon Tally and she doesn’t remember it and he does. Lots of psyhological research on the perpetrator of harrassment and bias not remembering what s/he said and did but the victim remembers. It’s a power issue as well as a personal issue: we remember slights to ourselves…

This statement made me cry. This man loved her and all the complicated feelings love can entail. He seems so heartbreakingly human and devastated despite them potentially being in the process of ending their marriage. It really stuck me that despite love and success and wealth things can still be so complicated and…

Thank you for following the guidelines for reporting on suicides, specifically by not sharing the method. I really appreciate it, and I know others do too.

If I died in my sleep tonight I do not think I would care, and I do not think anyone else really would either.

“If I died in my sleep tonight I do not think I would care, and I do not think anyone else really would either.”

Many of the most successful, self-possessed, vibrant, independent women in my life struggle mightily with depression and anxiety, and go between wanting to put it all out there — listen, if I can live through this, so can you — and wanting to keep it all hidden, because showing weakness will ruin her capacity to be a…

I would like to point out that for a lot of women, body acceptance and body positivity are *still* new concepts. I’m an older millenial and during my teen years and 20s (my formative years), the tiny waist, mid-drift baring styles were all the rage (think Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera). Teen Vogue and Cosmo were…

The point is, in those few minutes he received virtually no information that enabled him to do his job. Would he have acted if he got the information? No way of knowing, but the simplistic narrative about him is grossly unfair and everything that’s wrong with today’s mob mentality.

Nope, we aren’t all wondering that. I’ve heard it as a rumor but I think it’s far more likely that either a) she had some plastic surgery done or b) her routine surgery was actually related to a serious illness.

That was a very interesting read. I went into it skeptical, and was still skeptical (I remember initially thinking his excuse that he only heard one or two pops was bullshit), but I had mostly been won over by the end. I still don’t agree with him 100% (e.g., I think he, probably subconsciously, knew that whatever was…

Both times I’ve purchased a gun, the clerk has told me directly, “If you have trouble answering any of these questions, talk to me before you mark your answer.”

I think those conservatives are talking about a time when women were docile & “knew their place”.

When some conservatives point to the past as a time when women were revered, respected, and safe, it’s important to remember how much of the violence and abuse was simply not noticed or recorded.
