As a Scorpio, I concur!

Ironic that this was a NYT article. The same news outlet that Glenn Thrush worked for. Hillary eventually got rid of Strider. The NYT cannot say the same. As I said, deflection.

I find that it becomes very difficult to become outraged at this when damned near everything negative directed at her involves the behavior of some asshole man, which she should now somehow be held responsible for. Yes, maybe she should have fired him. But considering how long the right, and some media outlets, have…

I agree with everything you said. I would also add that my take on her as a private person is that she rarely lets people get close to her, but once she does she kind of develops a blind spot. She should have kicked Huma to the curb (at least temporarily until the dust settled) when Anthony Weiner continued to be a…

No, but dammit, it should be!!!

I am not familiar with Mo’Nique’s comedy (love her acting though), but Wanda Sykes is light years funnier than Amy Schumer. And has been at it a LOT longer.

You don’t have to convince me. I have been team Hillary since 2008. Actually, since 1992.

The question I asked myself when reading the original comment was, “How welcome would women’s rights activists be at an environmental protest?” I’m guessing we would be told, “That’s great but that isn’t why we are here.” And rightfully so.

My husband and I marched, but didn’t make any signs to march with. I felt inadequate after seeing so many cleverly worded and in some cases beautifully painted signs. Next year I am making a sign. And I have a whole year to come up with something clever.

I hear you. And I would (and do) support efforts to clean up the mess that we have made of our planet. However, if we allow the women’s movement to be about everyone and everything that is just, then we risk diluting the very real issues that are unique to women (and by “women” I mean ALL women, not just white,…

I am so sorry and heartbroken for you. Sending internet hugs and comfort to you.

Extremists of all religions do this. I could tell you stories from the Hasidic community that would make your hair stand on end.

I wish that were true, however oppressors would find another means by which to inflict their assholery. Just look at the misogyny in some of the online atheist communities.

I once worked with an ultra-Orthodox physician who refused to honor a woman’s living will. I was on the hospital ethics committee, which was how I came to know about the situation. This was a Jewish hospital in which the Orthodox community had a LOT of influence. Eventually, her living will was honored, but it was a…

Exactly. You cannot simultaneously empower and infantalize women.

There goes my rock star fantasy.

Good to know. Thanks.

Did not know that. Thanks for the information!

I lost respect for Clapton back in the 80s when a local promoter told a story online about Clapton refusing to include Lita Ford in one of his multi-artist concerts featuring various guitarists. He didn’t want a woman featured on the show. He did want Toni Iommi, who was dating Ford at the time. Iommi refused to…

When asked how it feels to be the greatest guitarist of all time, Clapton once answered, “I don’t know. Go ask Prince.”
