Some of it I can certainly see people taking legitimate issue with, but some of the quotes from her are just such so benign, I couldn’t believe people were getting upset over it. One in particular, she had said “You can’t tell the story of Islam in America without Nation of Islam,” and people were like “omg she…

I worked very hard to understand where Sarsour and Mallory were coming from on their various issues, and I think I mostly did end up getting it and having empathy for their point of view. At the same time, I think where the board of WM failed was in how much slack they were willing to cut themselves, and not cut it to…

Your mom probably knows all this already

My gaydar hasn’t failed this bad since I learned the American pickers guys weren’t a couple.

There’s only one property brother. He’s just jumping back and forth very quickly. 

Woke marketing is just marketing. If its a company that operates for profit that is the bottom line: for profit. I am fine with this as profit motive drives innovation, however a corporation is just that a corporation. If it chooses to position itself as a champion for this cause or that cause it would stop it in a…

Okay, two things.

It’s almost like capitalism and feminism don’t go well together.

That’s really not what her approach was though. Her “This Is Healthcare” campaign wasn’t about convincing people that abortion is healthcare, it was about convincing people that Planned Parenthood did “acceptable” healthcare. She added a bunch of stuff to Planned Parenthood’s website about treating asthma and common…

I do not understand how anyone, let alone someone who headed Planned Parenthood could think that A. People who hate abortion also deeply care about OTHER women’s healthcare and B. That those same people can be Jedi mind-tricked into being ok with Planned Parenthood if we just say “pap smear” enough.

I don’t think it really matters whether her approach was right or wrong. The point is, she wasn’t hired to be the dictator of Planned Parenthood. She had her idea, she presented it to the board, they disagreed with her and voted down her idea. THE END. You don’t get to keep endlessly pushing it without consequences. I…

“In her recent letter to the board, she stressed that depoliticizing “abortion care is the best way to protect it.””

How do you know that was advice to you and not to herself? Maybe she had to remind herself that you were all young and dumb and she shouldn’t murder you. 

This reminds me if a teacher I had in high school. She was in her 70s, tiny, and mean. But before class she would exasperatedly sigh and offer the class random life advice such as:

He’s figured it out! The mad fucking genius has cracked the code!

I always say, “I don’t have a problem with male authority because I regard it for what it always has been. Male authority has a problem with me.”

I don’t mind Old Navy, their clothes are reasonably priced and fairly good quality. In particular, I like them because they are one of the few stores near me that has pants and jeans long enough for my legs and fit properly. 

I didn’t used to be, but the last three years have really turned me into an ardent man-hating feminist lesbian. I mean, I was a feminist and a lesbian before, but the rest of it is a consequence of watching men over the last three years.

When I was sexually harassed by a man at my job, I reported it and told my parents, and they called me a bitch for reporting it, that I wasn’t able to take a joke, and that it was my moral responsibility to “make it right” so that this “innocent man” wouldn’t have to suffer any consequences for what he did (making…

Maryland witnessed Ralph Ford apologizing to Ed Kavanaugh and being offered forgiveness by way of a manly handshake.
