Does Cher think twitter is a magnetic poetry set on my fridge in 1997?

If they’re blurring out all the boobs, why can I still see all the hosts’ faces?

Interesting note: the crowdfunding campaign is apparently on behalf of a “non-profit” with no web-presence and $1 in assets. The page in general reads like a parody of crowd funding.

I feel like I want to crowdfund an army and go take over his Virginia home, overthrowing him and his heir. Nothing bloody; we’d just strong-arm them into the street, change the locks, and let them watch me making myself at home: watching Netflix on their flat-screen, eating their food, etc.

No we get it. Those fat people are totally out in public, taking up spaces that should be filled with skinny people. And of course you blame them for all their health problems, amirite? Sooo much easier than blaming a multi-billion dollar food industry heavily invested in relentlessly pushing unhealthy food, and…

No one is celebrating obesity. That reduces a human being to their dress size or their weight or their BMI. The celebration is that a human being feels okay about themselves. They don’t hate themselves or define themselves by their dress size, or weight or BMI. It’s not about glorifying being fat, it’s about…

Do you get angry at a handicapped person being in that spot? No? Why not? Because they can’t ‘help’ being handicapped? How do you know? Perhaps that person chose a profession that was dangerous, and hurt themselves, and now gets that spot. But of course, you can’t tell that by looking.

The best thing about these guys is they always seem to think they are the first person who has ever posed this question to fat activists.

God, people who post about how obesity is unhealthy when they see happy fat women are THE WORST. They aren’t posting out of concern for anyone’s health. At. All. Because they would NEVER post something like that near a picture of a fat man enjoying anything. They post because women are valued first and foremost by…

Read this then use your imagination and ask yourself “Would I want to or be capable of working/creating in this type of environment?” and you might just have an idea why those numbers are the way they are.

Way to make unreasonable demands. So, be told for years that studios won’t hire women, so women go into the field in smaller numbers, therefore they shouldn’t have to hire women because there aren’t any women trying to get hired for jobs they aren’t being hired for? That is some classic male logic right there. Air…

I’m reminded of the very first episode of Mad Men when the secretaries were all trying out lipsticks for a company’s market testing. All the men watched Peggy sit and wait because she didn’t pick out a lipstick. One of the characters said (may be paraphrasing, this was a while ago), watching the wheels turn in her…

For anyone interested, there’s an awesome tumblr called Shit People Say to Women Directors that is definitely worth checking out. http://shitpeoplesaytowomendirectors.tumblr.com/

Well, we are atheists, in that we do not believe in a sort of god, or other personal deity. We are also believers in scientific and philosophical skepticism. We reject supernaturalism entirely.

This is honestly the most beautiful case of legal trolling that I have ever witnessed.

I rather more look forward to a time when men have been raised not to abuse, harass and bully women at all.

Exactly. The YES campaign was about those who live in Scotland, inclusive of all peoples of all ethnicity, nationality and sexuality, deciding how the country was run. Part of the bias on the no side was that they criticised ‘nationalism’ and played up its negative connotations, despite they too offering nationalism,…

Yes, but the sad fact is there continues to be a no acknowledgement of the abuse, smearing, and scares that the so-called ‘Better Together’ campaign engaged in. There was a slim majority on the no side, but it was never a fair fight.

Amen! I’m slightly saddened that we are not as politically close as I thought we were, but as a rabid nationalist myself, I take this as the opportunity to prove the cause, rather than hurl insults. JK is still an awesome woman and The Casual Vacancy still the greatest ode to socialism ever.

NO ONE deserves to be abused for any reason.
