You mean again? lol yeah I think so — he doxxed somebody in those Jez threads yesterday. I think it’s all cleaned up now, but I was reading while he was riled up and he really went for the troll gold.

You’re right but ignore this butthole. I am pretty sure it’s Locomotive Jones, racist extraordinaire, with a new Kinja handle.

Damnit, already? I actually dig “nude” colored leather shoes a lot. That thing about legs looking longer is dumb, but I really like light, buttery tan leather... which is what good “nude” is. (Though damn, I hate the word nude so much I keep putting it in scare quotes.)

Let me tell you a story of a vacation and a pain management issue. Last month (March) I spent a week with my husband and two of our friends in a gorgeous villa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. At the time — and still, though it’s since been re-diagnosed thanks to an MRI — I was having severe and chronic pain. I live in…

Sorry, I think I replied to the wrong person.

I wouldn’t reply to a troll normally, but this whole discussion is already deeply fucked, so I gotta say... as trolls go, you are fucking impressive. Look at those time stamps! Speedy fingers. Now — get your shit off this site.

I think she did an amazing job of portraying a very old woman in a much younger woman’s body. Her movements (mostly) say “old” but she is obviously not.

I appreciate your smart and nuanced take on this topic but I wish it weren’t wrapped up in what appears at first glance to be the defense of a really terrible, overly simplistic argument directly equating two procedures you yourself have said are unequal.

I actually knew there are multiple kinds of FGM — though, thank you, I didn’t know they are three distinct types (I saw one other, longer reply you made) — but I do not believe the two procedures are analogous just because one version of FGM is significantly less extreme.

Thank you, those are good thoughts. I wish you were higher in this convo!

No, a cis woman came in and sprayed her privilege all over this article [...] “Cutting of parts of dicks is totally cool guys”. [...] But she wanted second wave brownie points, so here we are. Yay.

This is a pretty young person, I am almost certain. She is well-intentioned, but also kind of myopic, I think.

You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…

I agree with you that effective change can’t be forced from the outside, but what about the agency of the girls who have not been cut yet? How can the rights of both sets of women be protected?

No. I realize we are all limited to our lived experience, but your experience here is not analogous with what this doctor did or what people commonly refer to as FGM.

You’re right about the morality of this — sharing, not owning, would be better. But part of the (unfortunate) difference between someone like, say, Taylor “this sick beat” Swift and Cashawn Thompson is that Swift is a mercenary profiteer. Being successful, getting ownership of things, can be magic too — look at…

I don’t know if she should lose everything (I believe people can change for the better) but I do believe she’s unfit to teach ESL.

That is splitting the story into two parts — the book covers both their childhood battle with IT and their adult battle.

You do realize you just equated archeological destruction with actual human lives. Your entire comment implies that Jewish cultural artifacts are worth more than the lives of Palestinian people.

Abortion. It has been their single issue voter golden ticket for decades, and they will go after Roe v. Wade with a vengeance.
