THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS. :D

Yeah, I discovered that recently myself!

NEITHER CAN FABIO.

I try until I reach the point where I feel the conversation is no longer happening in good faith. :)

"Unity is not a theory."

Unity is a nice goal in theory. In practice unity means the silencing of dissent. Dissent and disagreement are normal, healthy things that should be allowed to exist in any political movement. It's how we learn from one another and grow as people and activists.

I can't believe you're still gray here. :P

I'm honestly not sure. As with many things in the twitterverse, the origins are hard to track.

You might be from Connecticut, but you did that just like a Southern lady! :)

Well I certainly discuss race and racism in feminism in both classes. I just try to keep the topics unique to each class, because they are supposed to be different. I've had several students take both from me and I'd like for each class to be a somewhat unique experience. :)

I respect your right to disagree, but 1) I am probably working from a different definition of "racism" than you, and 2) I am not convinced this hashtag represents a response to racism even if working from a definition of "one group disliking another because of skin color."

Discussing this is already on my spring syllabus. :P I just need to decide which class it's more suited for—intro to women's studies or multicultural women in the US. (I usually don't teach them both at once but I am this semester!)

Yes this is a thing. A highly disappointing thing. :(

I don't see that anyone answered your question, but there is America's Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee.

*Funyuns

Hmmm. I don't know. I'd say there's not much difference in my personal experiences hooking up with men vs. women. I think that by the time I've decided I want to fuck someone, I already feel pretty safe with them. :) And there wasn't much difference in enjoyment—I've had both disappointing and wonderful experiences…

I'm not seeing anything in what I said that indicates anything about my willingness or lack thereof to make the first move.

I mean, there's *something* to that, but I'm queer (bi) as well, as well as a feminist, so it's not like I don't realize that society's shaming me around my sexuality is bullshit. I absolutely do. However, I also am fully aware of my vulnerability—I am not a tenure-track prof so I have no guaranteed job security, and…

Meh. I haven't used an app to hook up yet, though I did use Craigslist once. My comment was directed more toward the idea that "women aren't wired" to enjoy casual sex. I don't read the comment as specifically about using apps, but about attitudes towards casual sex in general.

It sounds way cooler when you put it that way!
