First of all, Kaepernick opted out of his contract, he wasn’t cut. Secondly, you have white players who WERE cut, who now have huge contracts. Brock Osweiler, Dan Orlofsky, Mark Sanchez, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Fitzpatrick, the list goes on and on and on and on. Ever heard of Tom Savage? The starting QB for the Texans.…

that man is now officially my new hero, and to hell with anybody who says otherwise.

"The problem is white women, who objectively have it pretty good, often drown out women of color and transgender women, who objectively have it way fucking worse."

Ya but you have a point in regards to her age. It's not like high school is the best place to learn about feminism and take a women studies class. 17 is young. I know many 17 year olds. They are still kids.

i like it when people think kara is white. it's my fave thing.

This stuck out to me, as well. Why aren't we hearing this critique of Emma Watson from women of color? Probably because this other cute young white woman is more palatable to the media, which is a problem. It also bothers me that one white woman is bashing another's feminism, but at the same time I'm glad they aren't…

Thank you! People have limited bandwidth. And not focusing on "other really important problems" leaves out some very important issues. You may disagree, but arguably Beyonce is less important than Yazidi women. If a reader or a participator in a publication like Jezebel, reads 10 articles a day, 9 and a half of them…

girl they don't wanna hear.

is it really dismissive? Isn't it kind of true that in the US in general that we piss and moan about things that are really kind of in significant? I don't know like when you think about it is kind of true. I mean why is it annoying when people say that there are children starving in Africa unless you're saying it's…

The problem is white women, who objectively have it pretty good, often drown out women of color and transgender women, who objectively have it way fucking worse.

I think it becomes a problem when the less critical issues dominate the public conversation.

Why? I mean setting aside the particulars of Williams and Watson, why is "there are more important things" invalid? Saying that everything is equally important seems like some leftover aggressively consensus-based feminist thinking that got us nowhere. I know we're at Jezebel where the dreaded "judging" is about the…

An excellent way to make sure WOC or poor women don't feel left out is to focus solely on what two very young, very wealthy, and privileged white women have to say about it.

I apologize - I realized pretty much too late how my comment reads especially given the whole tone of everything. You're not detracting from it, especially with a lot of your follow-up comments that make your point really clear. It's just your original comment is really unclear and I feel like people have jumped on…

Do you think the white women participates in racism in particular ways or do you think people with that particular identification do it? Does that make sense? I'd like to hear your point of view on it.

It's detracting from the examination of the prevalence of white women as educators and what this means for students of color in their classrooms/schools.

I know this was hard for you to do. Holding white women's feet to fire for some of the most passive aggressive forms of marginalization, alienation, and appropriation is very difficult. So you were very brave to take that on. While I'm not sure this example was the best opportunity to make your point, you have some…

Thank you for this. Everyone here seems to be missing the point despite my explicitly stating it: when white women in a space dominated by white women are being racist, we talk about "the broader context." Why? Why not talk about how specifically this is a problem?

Apparently we will continue to never talk about white women's contributions to racism, even in a piece where predominately white women in a predominately white female space are committing a racist act. We should only be satisfied with a discussion of the "broader context."

There is no ethnic cleansing. Some site on the net stole these from me, by not sourcing them to me. I created all of these and more (ones for men) right here: [pmsol3.wordpress.com]
