He’s not a Spaniard, he is Mexican. He is from Mexico, and is proud of being a Mexican film director. My family, as well as most of the general population has Spaniard blood thanks to the war, destruction, and general genocide committed against the indigenous people by the Spanish. Does colorism exist? Yes. Is it…

I know, right? I’m like, who is this dizzy bitch?

I was wondering the same thing. A younger Paglia?

She got her start writing a “campus rape is not rape” book in the 1990's and has been “concern trolling” on behalf of rapists and sexual abusers ever since.

His whole point is that white supremacy trumps his physical strength, intellect and artistry. Against a powerful man like Venit and the Hollywood machine, he is just another black man that better mind his manners. He’s trying to get justice without being put behind bars.

I like that he didn’t do what he was “supposed” to do, which is shut up and acquiesce. No more keeping secrets, put all the dirt out there.

In the ninties conservatives needed a bright new face to tell the flannel-clad young women that feminism is evil and women’s liberation was a mistake. Her career got derailed by the whole shift in right wing messaging away from a pretense of propriety and decorum. But the kind of old, conservative, white men who…

She’s the NYT’s handpicked “feminist voice” who’s been serving the same warmed-over hot takes about Feminists Going Too Far and Young Women These Days, Well I Never since the GD 90’s.

Roiphe has a “noted feminist” for a mom. What a shitty way to rebel.

She looks like a whiter Racheal Dolezal.

It’s simple. She thinks she’s so much smarter than everyone else, and only she knows the real truth. (And from what I’ve seen that she’s written, what she sees as truth is things that have happened to her or people she knows, who are very much not representative of our society in general). Therefore anything anyone…

I think you hit the nail on the head there- you write like what you read. If you’re only reading advertising and listening to bombastic assholes, you’re going to write like the above.

You know, people complain about white women who call themselves feminists not caping for women of color, particularly black women, but damn, white women aren’t even caping for themselves. You have this women essentially throwing all the women who contributed to the media men list under the bus for the sake of her…

It took some digging, but the prosecutor assigned to the case was apparently from the Trumbull County Prosecutor, which is headed by a man by the name of Dennis Watkins.

That’s not supposed to be the case post ACA as mental health parity was made part of the Essential Health Benefits, but between a) ongoing stigma; b) lack of Medicaid expansion and c) lack of available resources in many cases it is sadly still true. The criminal justice system of course is interested mainly in…

You can lament the state of your life without it being disrespectful to people who have it worse. The fact that you are even aware says a lot of good things about your character.

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

That may be true in some states, but not all of them. Many states have systems in place to transition juveniles with longer sentences into adult prisons after they reach adulthood (16, 18, or 21 depending on the state, when it comes to whether they’re incarcerated in a juvenile or adult facility), where they will…

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

They’re talking that they have no data. They’re not talking about 22 dead being a genocide they’re saying they have absolutely no data on indigenous women.
