This incident was so ridiculous and damaging. I'm angry as a black woman to see, yet again, white people talking down to our black president and black first lady. I'm not saying people have to bow and curtsy, but people don't even show them the common decency of treating them as adults worthy regular old respect. It…

Okay, let's get one thing straight: I do not need lessons from you about the law, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, the legislative process, or procedures. I already took those classes from some of the best minds on the subject. Trust me, I am much better versed in these things than you. I know them down to…

The thing that really pisses me off is that this woman could have taken the two minutes she would have had with the First Lady and brought it up. It was a small private fundraiser and she was going to be mingling. This woman was at the fundraiser and could have actually had a conversation with FLOTUS in a meaningful…

Obama was actually for marriage equality before he was against it. When he was in the Illinois senate, Obama supported marriage equality. He then turned against it while president.

Why would you assume that I am so ignorant and uninformed about Uganda and Kony that I would have even paid attention to the Kony2012 fiasco? Kony hasn't been seen for years, he's on the lam, and he has no power. I was bemused, but I damn sure didn't watch the videos and give the "movement" credence.

You know what? Maybe it is better if we do it your way. Let's always act in deference to the PR of oppressive regimes because our concern should be image, not the oppressed men and women of those societies and countries. Let those people continue to be ignored because, after all, this infographic failed to stick the…

So, you think that ignoring the plight of the women in these societies in order to...what? If these is injustice taking place in the world, it should be covered. Are you interested in protecting or doctoring the reputations of nations' men in exchange for continuing to ignore the plight of women and girls in this…

Do you think the polls are lying? I know what you mean about Dan Savage, but his smear against black voters, for which he never apologized, in the aftermath of Prop. 8 was based on explicitly on his lying about polling and exit polling. Are you suggesting these people are lying too?

Have you ever read the stories of the people in the military who reported being sexually assaulted or harassed? It goes against your assertion that victims are blamed, shamed, and silenced.

Not only does Rosanne falsely claim Lindy was advocating censorship, Roseanne herself is advocating for the worst sort of censorship: first and final speak. She thinks people should get to say what they want and that's the final word on it. Roseanne condemns Lindy for wanting to participate in free exchange and hold…

There were plenty of women responsible for the economy of the South: slaves. Why do I get the feeling this racist doesn't have a problem with them being away from their children (assuming they weren't sold off) from sunrise to sunset?

What a coincidence! We are definitely adopting our next child and we want to adopt an older kid because everyone wants a baby or a toddler. We are hoping for a girl. If your name is Laura and you self-identify as a girl, you fit the first criterion. Seeing as you can read, write, and use a computer, I'm gonna guess…

Lindy, I am so sorry this happened to you. But, I want to thank you for posting these vile and hateful statements. You see, I'm preparing a paper to submit for a TED conference invite and these shit stains will bolster my plan.

Oh, this guy's a real prize. I was only age to read about five pages about the DMR scandal but I'm going to go through the government reports of how he took money from the right-wing's ever growing "conforprofit" schemes to undermine the environment, education, and the rights of women.

Why is the governor of the state with the 47th ranked education system overall and the 50th ranked for math and sciences on this panel? Is he there as an example of what not to do or to demonstrate why Mississippi's educational system is in the shape it is in?

Thank you! Now that I'm certain he can hear me when I talk to her belly, I will be reading Audre Lorde to him during the day and Goodnight Moon at night.

You should carry an umbrella or maybe a really cute parasol for incidents like these. When someone says this, whip it out and say, "Finally! I've been looking for a parasol holder. Thank you for volunteering!" Open it up and hand it to them, since they're so fucking interested.

My condolences for your uncle. I'm sorry he was exposed to those chemicals and that they weren't able to catch it until it was too late.

Were they aware that girls are socialized not to pursue men, goals, and things women/girls "shouldn't" want? Are they also aware that women who pursue men are constantly portrayed as "crazy stalker chicks?" How about the fact when a guy undertakes a "grand romantic gestures" like throwing pebbles at someone's window…

This is their solution to this problem? Really?
