if he thinks being president is hard on him, he should see what its doing to us.

When I was 19 years of age, the sexual proclivities of young people wasn’t anything, anything like I see today.

What’s even more bizarre about this is that Fredrick Douglass is one of like, 6 black people who you learn about in public school (along with Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, MLK, Chrispus Attucks and Dred Scott). Most 8th graders could probably tell you that Douglass isn’t exactly a contemporary figure.

Frederick Douglass died in 1895.

A couple of years ago I went to see Caitlin Moran speak. Sometimes I really like what Caitlin Moray has to say and sometimes I really don’t.

He wants to be liked very badly

He has at his disposable an infinite number of choices. He chooses to take photographs of himself Doing (what he thinks is) Feminism. He’s fine when he acknowledges his limitations, but he’s not obligated to make a instagram accounted devoted to his Very Feminist Rack and Pecs. It’s as NoOnesPost says, strangely (but…

I will take his thoughts with cautious optimism, but not be surprised if the domestic abuse scandal ever comes out.

That’s really it. He talks about social justice *as it relates to himself* a lot. Engaging in public self-correction is important if you’re a public figure, but he engages in reflexive public self-regard in a way that makes me think that Matt McGorry’s hierarchy of needs goes:

Same reason Ron Swanson got the Dotty Everytime a Smurf award from the Indiana Women’s Association.

So “wokeboy” is our term for fuckboys who perform wokeness to get laid? Yes? Yes.

I saw him on The Nightly Show earlier this week. I get what he’s trying to do, but it just looks...off.

Because he made two separate posts about a feminist t shirt he owns in the same week? Because he posted a selfie of himself reading “She Comes First”?

I don’t see hate, just intense eye rolling, which he totally deserves.

Why couldn’t they have had a woman host the Ms. Foundation Gloria Awards? I don’t care how fucking woke bae here is.

It’s weirdly meta to lavish praise on him for an interview where he talks about how it’s messed up that high-profile white dudes get praise lavished on them for saying feminist stuff.

My mother raised my sister and I with the notion that I was the “pretty” one and should use my looks to land a rich husband and my sister was the “smart” one and should pursue a hardcore career despite her obvious creative talents. It was a somewhat Hiltonian way of raising us. It obviously screwed both of us because…

Yes! I know Adichie isn’t saying you should be a raging bitch to everyone all the time, and I totally get and agree with what she is saying: girls and women are encouraged to tie our self-worth to what other people think of us, and consequently we spend way too much time trying to change and conceal and lie about what…
