Starred for Cattle knowledge.

You can’t be a feminist and a booster of expansionist, patriarchal religion that considers women to be less than men.

Anti-semitism, which unfortunately seems mighty common on the Left (unless all those people blowing that dog whistle at Bernie Sanders actually were Russian trolls), aside, Farrakhan is a massive misogynist. Kind of hard to square being leaders in a women’s movement and standing with a leader who’s anti woman.

It’s so refreshing to read a Jezebel article about the single largest voting demographic in the country that isn’t terrible. 

So... is Jezebel just going to entirely ignore the serial killer who may have murdered (and raped) 90 women?

So many innocent lives would be saved and so much suffering avoided if we treated domestic violence seriously. This man should have been in jail for a decade, not out and being treated like a pillar of the effing community.

Thank you for covering this.

I live in the northerly bit of New England, and the only time I remember seeing these was at a store in Old Quebec City that pretty obviously catered to rich people.

Because the country was in large part founded by religious extremists. We’re still dealing with the Puritans’ legacy.

I think there’s an ancient Irish ballad that’s a variation on this.

Categorizing women by race is pretty funny given that the actual predictive factor on whether someone votes conservative is their religious persuasion:

I am so, so tired of Republicans stealing elections and facing absolutely no consequences. It’s been 18 years since Bush was installed by a combination of the supreme court and just this kind of voter suppression in Florida (which in a total coincidence, was governed by his brother).

Ah, so nice to be back in the Gilded Age.

Ever notice how close elections in states with GOP leadership always seem to come out with juuuuuuust enough votes to put the Republican over the top?

It’s Realpolitik time now, children.

Part of the problem is that we don’t provide every citizen with free, easily available universal ID, because that’s “Big gubmint overreach”.

Plus there was the very real possibility that the Wampanoag or whoever would come and try to take their land back.

We don’t need to pick up trump voters, we need to pick up non-voters.

Middle schoolers are almost universally horrible, horrible little monsters, especially when in groups. Almost all of them grow out of it, except the ones who go on to become Republicans. Expecting a young teen boy to have not said horrible shit is hella naive. Hopefully hes changed, and not become Youtube mini Paul
