Big on the Internet, Mara Wilson, Matilda, Twitter By Kate Gardner on Mon,2:13 Mara Wilson, who was our collective childhood hero as Matilda and continues to be our hero in adulthood, has had enough of people using her childhood role in an attempt to discredit her. Big on the Internet, the gender pay gap, women's soccer By Rachel Leishman on Mon,2:06 I don't like saying men are trash, but when they consistently prove it to be true, what else can I really do? News, donald trump, E. Jean Carroll, sexual assault, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:44 On Friday, New York Magazine published an excerpt from writer E. Jean Carroll's upcoming memoir in which she accuses Donald Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room 23 years ago. Her description of the alleged event is detailed and nauseating.
