Yup they’re all sweet and nice when they’re not threatened, but as soon as they feel the tiniest hint of thigns not going their way they can show their real coloures pretty fast. Also most men are nice as long as you’re fitting their idea of what a woman should be. As soon as you step outside that they turn on you…

Hmm I dont know about #notallmen anymore. Im including all men who turn a blind eye to this, think harrassment and abuse don’t exist, dismiss womens stories, dont want to talk about these things, think they’re not a big deal...well im going to include them all in as part of the problem. And in that case it pretty much…

When you lead your entire life without consequences because the culture tells you your gender and skin color is superior, just “naturally” superior...well, then you never grow. You never get compassionate, because other people don’t matter. They’re less important than you. You don’t get much smarter, because you are…

“The most sympathetic reading of this situation is that Sunderland got lost in a kind of journalism that has always existed, but is more prevalent in our current political landscape; writers intent on fully understanding a controversial issue ingratiating themselves with the “other side” to present a comprehensive…

Whenever ther’s a conversation about women in STEM, some guy showdown up with the argument that “no one makes women leave science jobs and STEM education.” The truth is, though, that the men who assault and harass their colleagues are doing just that: they are trying their best to force women out.

Yes. This is my takeaway from this whole week as well. No wonder feminism has stalled. “Progressive” men cannot be trusted.

Why are men so terrible? What the ever-loving-fuck is wrong with them? Is it because they can get away with it? Would women act the same way if put in positions of unlimited power with no accountability? Is this the human condition, or limited to those with a Y chromosome? I think science had better start coming…

I was sexually harassed by my female thesis advisor for years (I’m also a woman). My second advisor- a man, great scientist, and genuine ally- helped to salvage my career. Just make sure you’re one of the good guys.

The CT Congressman who did *not* partake in the Congressional (10-second long) moment of silence summed up something very well, he said (paraphrasing because i don’t have the exact quote):

If you’re at a baseball game or a rotary club, sure have a moment of silence. But if you’re in the only room in the country that…

They lie to us, and even worse, to themselves. Dealing with conservative logic is exhausting beyond words.

If you offer prayers for these victims but are unwilling to consider any meaningful changes to how America regulates guns, you are a POS. Hiding behind Jesus to avoid honestly confronting the ways you harm your fellow humans makes you a hypocrite and a bigger POS.

Is it a sexual attraction, though? Or is it, like rape, just a dominance activity that’s then combined with some weird frisson of forbidden-ness?

Unfortunately I know of no good solution to this concern, but locking away pedophiles does little to rehabilitate these attractions.

One morning, too late for rush hour but too early for everyone to be up and about, I was in a café having breakfast. I looked around and realized that by pure coincidence every other person there was a woman. I don’t know if anyone else noticed: there were no secret sisterhood handshakes or any acknowledgement. But I…

Seconded. The amount of incredible female talent who has written for Jez and gone on to NYT, GQ, The Atlantic, television, book deals, and more... It’s so inspiring.

Cis, queer, and trans women. All the womens.

Thank you to the ladies at Jezebel. I know you put up with a lot of regular shit from awful people, and I am so grateful that you muck through it to give a very public voice for women. Something like telling a story shouldn’t require the amount of bravery currently necessary for women to speak up, and I’m glad you’re…

Pro Forced-birth is another good one.

It never does. The pro-forced-birth agenda is about punishing women for having sex, not men. Men pressuring women to have abortions simply doesn’t appear on their radar, unless the dirty slut actually has the abortion, and then they violently hate her while still completely absolving the man.

They’re gestational slavers, is what they are.
