It’s because “white” isn’t a race to a guy like ol’ Huck; “male” is barely a gender, it’s a default set of rules for everyone (which excludes ladies, because they’ve got a gender to worry about). To the Hucks of the world, identities are for other people.

I’m annoyed that they picked Gabby over Ashton Locklear. Barring injury to Simone, Aly, and Laurie, Gabby isn’t going to touch anything other than bars in Rio, but Ashton is consistently better than Gabby on bars. Gabby’s reputation and not her gymnastics is what got her on the team this time around. :-(

Being disgusted/disturbed by images or video of medical procedures isn’t really going to stop people from getting medical procedures...

I sometimes think if men knew the actual truth, they’d die of shame from silencing women all these years. It’s why they fight us so hard when we do attempt to tell our stories: they do NOT want to know that this happened to women they cared about—their moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers (god knows worse things…

If a guy calls a girl a slut guys have no problem believing him. But if 40 women accuse a guy of being a sexual predator people still don’t believe them.

Soooooo... this is his way of turning down the VP slot w/o saying it out loud?

impregnated by Brad Pitt, which is like being impregnated by a future man or a star child

She was “impregnated by” because she’s just a passive sail.

Women are just objects of writers affection

I hate this guy.

I’ve really enjoyed this ongoing takedown of misogynistic magazine profiles and the self-inflated white men who write them.

So real talk: weight gain or loss should be an off-limits section of writing, especially when a woman is carrying twins, WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THE TWO BABIES WERE GOING TO GROW. “Bellied out like a sail” Jesus Christ. Also the way he describes women makes it clear he is still waiting for his manic pixie dream…

I know the answer! They’re written by boners, for boners.

I'll take my liberal bubble over the Midwest. Even with the rent being too damn high.

And then Starbucks will build living quarters upstairs of every Starbucks. It’ll be an “innovative” way to improve the living situation. And so convenient too as the rent will be automatically deducted from their paychecks.

When are the big companies and USOC going to learn to just let it go? I’ve never heard of Oiselle but good for them for sponsoring some of the lesser known athletes. The big companies let a winner slip through their grasp so now nobody can celebrate the athlete’s success? I probably am not the market for Oiselle, but…

I read Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me recently, and was struck by his purposeful use of the word body, over and over. To have your body taken away, to have black bodies stolen. That was a strong reminder that this is a violent physical thing that happens to real people, and not some abstract thing from…

3. The victim has a police record!

And in answer to your headline, yes, I’m afraid you will. It breaks my heart that a part of me is grateful that my son inherited his father’s light skin tone instead of my own.
