This is anecdotal, but the worst misogynists I’ve ever met have been women.

There’s no way a man should be able to run a country. They can’t even control themselves when young girls wear shorts or spaghetti straps.

An article about a trans man perhaps getting the cover on a major men’s magazine just because of the state of his body is not the time or place you to splooge about your personal definitions of manhood, especially when doing so invalidates the significance of his accomplishment and his representation. It’s an…

“Slightly bi” dude who shares an apartment building with actual lesbian couple has important insights to share, everyone listen up!

Being a manly trans-man *is* breaking a stereotype of what a man should or shouldn’t be. Namely, the stereotype that trans men are not truly men. It’s a terrible stereotype, and thus it is that much more of a big deal that it’s being broken. It’s all very well and good to say “he’s a man, and likely has always felt…

Didn’t know I was going to need a ‘Go fuck yourself’ form letter for this comment section, but I guess that’s what I get for assuming for once cis people might try and think about an issue from a trans perspective instead of their own. An out trans man on the cover of a men’s health magazine tells the world, and…

Multitasking is never a strong point when talking about social movements. Remember that time we got marriage equality and ENDA at the same time? Yeah, me neither.

I am so tired of this attitude every time there’s a transgendered person who is conventionally attractive. If they don’t look good enough they get harassed by bigots. If they look TOO good they get harassed by supposed allies. There’s no winning for them.

So she’s being micromanaged by male studio executives who just wanted a female director because it’d make them look good and get more female ticket-buyers.

“I have to tell ya–eight years of one demographically symbolic president is enough”

In theory, I agree with you. I think that the reasons for exempting churches from taxation are, at this point, fairly antiquated and no longer applicable. That said, there are a lot of churches which do really great, and really necessary, charitable work - and the way that America’s pathetic excuse for a social safety…

I don’t think that Gibney is suggesting that the entire religion of Scientology ought to be declared invalid because of its silly beliefs or short history. He’s arguing that The Church of Scientology ought not to be considered a tax-exempt religious organization because its current leader appears to run the whole…

Like most people, I was an gangly teen- all pimples and limbs and braces. I had a huge, super nerd-girl crush on someone I’ll call Joe. Joe was a year older than me even though he was in the same grade, and had bit puberty sooner as a consequence, so was more man-than-boy shaped. Ravelston likied.

One look at time on…

I’ll Debbie Downer this competition real fast.

I had a similar incident happen to me, except when they got to my house (also 45 minutes later), they asked me, "What do you want us to do about it?" I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE YOUR JOB? They suggested I get my hedges trimmed lower (there are no hedges on the side of the house where the intruder tried to break in) and then…

I don't understand why divorce hits some people like it's the end of the world, especially when they were super unhappy in the relationships. My sister had a horrible marriage. Her husband was verbally and emotionally abusive, I suspect he was phyisically abusive at one point because of little things I noticed like…

OK, you had two friends who got pregnant with a copper IUD in place. That’s a reason not to get an IUD? That’s rational thought on the level of Inhof saying global warming isn’t real because of snowballs in DC. Typical use (not checking the string regularly) failure rate of a copper IUD is 0.8%. Typical use (missing…

Ugh tell me. I went to high school in a really religious neighborhood, and a bunch of the kids would come to school in T-shirts with crosses that say “THIS SHIRT IS ILLEGAL IN 37 COUNTRIES” or something, and act like they’re so fucking brave for wearing the damn shirt in TEXAS, in a country that’s had 44 consecutive…

my religious freedom is being attacked because there are other religions

I (black woman, in my early-20s at the time) recall being pulled over by a cop on my way home from work for no reason that I can discern. While I was sitting in my car waiting for the cop to approach, I noticed that 2 other cop cars joined her. For the life of me I could not understand why they thought that much…
