lolz. WOC, esp Black women, have been writing books and articles about this issue for decades and decades.

(rubs hands together) may i just be the first to say...

So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?

“If you’re talking about gender equality but not talking about racism, you just don’t have effective reform.”

I mean . . . yes, Steele had bias against Trump . . . BECAUSE HIS SOURCES WERE TELLING HIM THAT TRUMP WAS CONSPIRING WITH THE RUSSIANS TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY!

The goal of this memo and everything else the GOP/Fox has been doing for the last year re: Uranium and Seth Rich and everything else isn’t to get something to stick, it’s to create so much noise that whatever Mueller uncovers will be just another blip on the screen and they’ll have cover for ignoring it. I’d love…

From the get go the memo starts off with unconfirmed data. I mean, who considers Devin Nunes to be ‘honorable’?

If this is the best they could do, they’re tooootally fucked.

Oh man, after finally reading it it’s even dumber than we’d imagined. What a wet fart Nunes has produced here.

This is what most people commenting are missing. He didn’t think of them, he thought of getting his feelings out, his completely understandable rage.

I can’t imagine what this moment was like for those girls. reliving the horrors they went through with that monster and now thinking they just lost their father as well.

Man, I feel for this guy, I do. But goodness he’s gotta think a little further than the moment and himself. This is horribly traumatic thing to put your daughters through, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. Look at their faces when he first breaks for Nassar.

Uh, I feel for this guy but this didn’t happen to him, it happened to his daughters. If he wants to help them he needs to be there for them, which means staying out of jail.

I don’t feel like that’s a fair comparison. Amy said that while Aziz was her friend, she sympathized with the woman, and that men and women both needed to work on the issue of consent. Her statement isn’t the most articulate thing in the world, but it’s compassionate to everyone involved. I see no problem with it.

She said there were facts she knew that put his victim in the small percent of liars. He had otherwise said it was money.

Maybe I’m misreading but didn’t Schumer explicitly say “I believe with and empathize with the woman, this experience wasn’t right,” whereas Dunham actively contacted the media to say “This woman is lying for money”? Even if they’re both troubling I don’t even see how those two responses are similar.

The difference is that Schumer said she believes the victim, Dunham straight up shouted “I KNOW HIM, HE DIDN’T DO IT,” as if she had been in the room.

I’ve posted this before, but...

Lena Dunham suggested a rape victim was lying for money. The victim happened to have a wealthy, well-known father but even if she didn’t that is horrid. This is not remotely that.

People keep seeing ‘they’re trying to stop her abortion’. And thats all well and good...but its not the biggest issue.

Ok, look...I’m an author, and I like to write and read horror, dystopian, and/or post-apocalyptic fiction. But if I sent an agent a query for a book that replicated everything this goddamned administration has done it’d be turned down as ‘too unrealistic’ and ‘nobody would believe so many people would be so damn evil’.
