What do you mean, citation? A friend of her great-granddaughter's emailed this to us. Read more

I mean...I would lose respect for someone who had unprotected sex with a lot of people, but I don't think it's anyone's business how many sexual partners someone has if they're being safe about it. You say a healthy sex life is different than "sleeping around" — what's the difference? Where's the line? Do you get to Read more

Hi! You might be sick of answering this question, but how do you feel about the lack of racial diversity on "Girls"? Read more

I, also, prefer to focus on people's actions than how they identify themselves. For example, Sarah Palin calls herself a feminist. But I really don't like when awesome, powerful, trailblazing women specifically say they hate the term because they don't want to "define" themselves. It seems like it's because they're Read more

So sad! I thought Coolidge's point about glamorizing female directors was interesting. Girls don't often dream of growing up to become directors or producers because they don't have many role models to look up to, whereas every boy with a camera wants to be the next Spielberg or Scorsese.

Well, I spent two hours on the page this morning (the things I do for Jezebel!), so trust me, that's what it's like. Read more

There are definitely some photos of men passed out and acting badly, but check out the comments on those photos: they're almost all lighthearted and in good fun. A guy passed out on the toilet? "What a night!" "Epic" etc. A girl passed out? She's a slut who deserves to get raped. The number of photos of women are way Read more

"What ever happened" = it's not a (fake) quick fix and therefore won't sell books! Read more

For me, though, it was less about being a woman and more about graduating in a recession...I really think I would've taken the job for half of what they offered me, because I was just so happy that someone valued my work. I asked a ton of people for advice before getting on that phone call (during which I expected an Read more
