I’m a feminist, and I don’t understand the problem. The presence of this question in no way advocates that a woman’s place is in the home; you have the option to disagree. This is just a bog-standard survey question of the sort you ask when you’re trying to find out more about a target population.

The less natural authority you have, the more eager you are to abuse any artificial authority you have.

I never thought I’d see the day I was called an anti-Semite.

I think half the tweets I sent during the election were a variant on “the Tea Party didn’t pull the GOP to the right by holding their noses and refusing to engage with it.”

That you think saying that a black activist whose life was literally saved by Louis Farrakhan should be able to take the good his organization offers her community and leave the bad is the same thing as saying that anti-Semitism against all the Jews in the world is just dandy means that your opinion is not one I…

When I was working at Caltech circa 2002, Aaron McGruder came to give a talk. When he said he didn’t really listen to hip-hop made after 1996, I was like, “oh good, it’s not just me.” I happily listened to Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy on the way home.

I had a friend who was an acrobat/contortionist in Cirque du Soleil. She put balloons in the front of a leotard and we tried to take pictures of her with both her “boobs” and her butt pointed at the camera. Didn’t work.

Which is another way of saying they’re too stupid to know what they’re doing, even though every fucking facet of this issue is a few clicks away.

Or alternately, because this is yet another example of white people doing something that black people have been doing for a while, at which point people actually start giving a shit. #MeToo was started by a black woman years ago, but it didn’t take off until a white woman took it up. Black kids have been walking out…

Yeah, I loved the Fountainhead in high school. I re-read it in college, and was like “WTF was I thinking?”

The government also wanted white Southerners to be able to defend themselves against their slaves. The original draft of the Second Amendment was less ambiguous, but was changed in response to pressure from the South.

I don’t know why you think almost half the country is against meaningful gun control when more than half the guns are owned by less than 3% of the population, and the NRA has less than 5 million members.

Right, because I think that one Harlem-based preacher’s anti-Semitism, which is predicated on his own community’s experience with Jews, is reprehensible but not enough to insist that black activists dissociate themselves from him and all the service that he has done for their community, I think that anti-Semitism…

Did y’all hear about how the famous MDMA study that made everyone think that just using it a couple times would destroy your brain was, in fact, totally bogus? The chimps were actually given meth, not MDMA, because of a labeling error.

“While anti-Semitism of any kind is reprehensible,”

I haven’t made a fool of myself. We simply disagree. Because Tamika Mallory is not here to represent you. She is just one organizer of a movement that has several, that represents tens of millions of women.

There are candidates for both everywhere you look, unfortunately.

During the Jim Crow era, the Jews that owned the businesses in black neighborhoods went home at night to their segregated neighborhoods, taking the black community’s money with them, while the NOI helped people who had no money at all. They fed children who were starving because their fathers had been lynched, or…

I think this might help you understand where Mallory is coming from. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/03/womens-march/555122/
