What does the wage gap or support for working mothers have to do with the price of tea in a conversation about how victim-blaming and slut-shaming got her to see the continued relevance of feminism? You’re decontextualizing her quote so that you can justify giving her a hard time.

Yes, what you said.

If we went through a laundry list of issues that people self-identifying as feminists are seeking to address - domestic violence, rape culture, sexual harassment, support for working mothers, the wage gap, opportunity doors closed, representation of women in media, politics, etc. - are you really agreeing that women…

This is exactly what she was talking about. It’s not good enough that she’s championing feminism publicly, she dares to point out that women are often the biggest enforcers of gender roles and patriarchal values, so fuck her.

I’m already ragey and exhausted and sad today. So reading “I feel like it’s mostly women that give other women a hard time” as a response to why feminism is still needed makes me want to break goddamn everything.

may I suggest tunnelbear? otherwise my UK dwelling self was able to watch via youtube -

I have watched some of Trevor’s stand up and also the skits he did on the Daily Show and the one thing that I don’t like about him is that he can’t be silly. He does the hipster cool funny where he can’t be goofy so it’s hard to tell if he’s telling a joke or being sincere.

The terrorist has now officially confessed and said his intent was to “start a race war”. How are you gonna spin that now, Fox? Are you gonna claim that Christianity is a race? I’m so disgusted.

I read this in another forum yesterday: “It just seems that no matter what happens, the white person is misunderstood and the black person is dead.” That one sentence hit me as so profoundly true and succinctly all-encompassing that it is still running through my head this morning.

Yup. Did you hear about the black girl scouts who were racially accosted by the white people in their community? They wanted something to be done about animal abuse, only for them to be called animals in return. Black children are treated like adults.

Please don’t leave us Jon. We need you. We need your voice.

Most expressed bland sympathy, but Bernie Sanders called it our as racially motivated and a crime of hate, Lindsay Graham at least admitted it was caused by hate, and Ben Carson asked the nation to “conquer hatred” to prevent these things from happening again. Everyone else just offered sympathy or (from many of the…

Problem with stories like this is that everyone tries to narrow it down to ONE thing. Gun advocates blame mental health or suggest that if someone there had a gun it wouldn’t have happened. Black leaders call it pure racism and nothing else. Mental health advocates claim that the perpetrator had issues dating back to…

We’ve all become far too tolerant of that fucking flag. They have the right to wear it and dangle it from their homes and trucks, but I have the right to call all of them either fools or traitors for glorifying it.

Charles Cotton victim blamed as well. He’s an NRA board member.

Man, watching Trevor Noah is going to be like seeing your grade school playground get bulldozed.

It really is refreshing to see and hear someone in the media cutting through the mental-illness-as-an-excuse bullshit.

He summed up how I felt incredibly well. If this had been a terrorist from any other country or of any other race than white who had perpetrated such a heinous act, we’d be preparing to go to war. Instead, since this is a white American, we’re “wondering” what his motives are and whether he was mentally ill.

I’m going to express obvious frustration that probably everyone has on FB.

He is always so spot on when things like this happen, as painful as the truth may be. God, I’m going to miss this man.
