The “reflexive” support is largely based on Kesha’s story being like thousands of others we’ve all heard- there’s more than enough to believe Luke is a phenomenal pile of shit. When someone is lying about rape or abuse, those stories ring differently and have a tendency to fall apart sooner or later. So far the only…

I propose Emma Thompson’s recent suggestion:

Realistically, there’s only one way that the old and white Academy is going to diversify.

I’ll never understand the reasoning behind people trying to give “well-rounded portraits”to monsters like Holtzclaw.

Welcome to the idiocracy, where a scientific paper published in a well-respected peer-reviewed science journal is “political” but the scientifically-illiterate politician firing the paper writer over ideology... isn’t.

In this case, “deeply flawed” and “highly political” pretty clearly means “anything that accurately reflects a reality I find inconvenient.”

This is the type of bullshit that happens when politics forces the hands of scientists (see also: NOAA’s climate change studies being investigated and blocked by Senators Inhofe, Smith and co.).

It’s one thing for an agency to provide data upon request. It’s quite another to be listed as a ‘co-author’ on a deeply flawed and highly political report

I feel bad for this guy who is being forced to retire because he uncovered the flaws in the system. I feel bad for the women in Texas (and other places) who don’t have access to the health care they need.

Every single time he comes out to defend something he is called out on, it furthers my opinion that although he really really means well, he still doesn’t really *get* the experiences of people not like him. Privilege is invisible, and I’m not sure he’s doing enough to make sure he sees it all the time. Like with his…

But Bernie, bro, a lot of your followers are explicitly saying just that and losing their shit anytime someone attempts to even mention the word Hillary let alone discuss the issues at hand. Also, you might want to mention that all non uterus having folks have had a stranglehold on this whole process for eternity, so…

“NO ONE CAN PROVE THAT I HAVE EVER RUN AN OPENLY SEXIST CAMPAIGN!”

Yeah, guys, I’m not calling for a White Entertainment Network or a Men’s History Month, OR a straight pride parade, so what’s going on with your shit, guys?

I genuinely don’t understand why Hillary’s pledge to repeal the Hyde amendment hasn’t gotten more play. That’s a huge, bold, and simple idea that would make a serious difference in the lives of millions of impoverished women.

While I don’t dig the clear Bernie bias in the following Paste article (nor in this Jezebel article either...”the excellent campaign”?), I did find the q&a on the history and relative lack of importance of superdelegates to be informative: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/…

ding ding ding!

She’s not totally wrong. Feminism IS about getting to choose who you want to be and to live exactly how you want. The problem is that you also don’t get to tell other people who they get to be/how to act/what they should do with their body.......

She didn’t let him abuse her. She reported his misconduct and got him fired. Although I am impressed with the way you dealt with your stalker, those tactics do not work in every case. Some jerks just escalate right back. Some (like the guy in the article) become murderers. There’s no one absolutely effective way to…

IMO, it’s as big as it needs to be, since some folks still haven’t gotten the message.
