My wife asked if it was our fault because we didn’t speak up. We’ve been guilty of not holding “friends” accountable for civility. No more. Family is going to be held accountable for their tacit or explicit endorsement of racism and sexism. What “friends” there were that did that are gone now. We have no illusions we…

No, POC pointing out the united front that White America often presents when they feel threatened, whether they sound like hillbillies or speak the queen’s English, is not what got us into this. White people themselves did this, and I am not here to coddle, mince words, or pretend.

Yes! I’m so tired of being told we need to work with these people and hear about their hurt feelings. Oh, you’re not a racist/sexist monster, you just voted for one? Well, here’s a cookie and a pat on head you poor dear. No, fuck that. I’m not going to pretend like these people have anything I need to hear. I’m not…

Yes. Schumer needs to step up bigly. Not advocating for rightist style ideological obstructionism but standing up for principle. And use the goddamn media more effectively to get the messages out. The Dems let the right off too easliy when they spout bullshit. Fuck that. Go toe to toe. The right gave up on civility…

Yeah, I just had to tell a young woman at work, that yes, her “nice” white friends who voted for Trump because they wanted “change,” not because they’re racist, can fuck off along with the KKK. I told her that to people like me, there is no difference between an openly racist person and a person who simply doesn’t…

I hope Chuck Schumer is ready. He’s going to be the most powerful Democrat left in our government after the inauguration.

My (hopeful) prediction is that Trump is terrified of losing any of his new fans, so he’s going to try super hard to not break his promises. So when Pence shows up like “Ok, I’m gonna strip some gay rights,” Trump remembers that he promised to be the best president ever for the LGBTQ community and shuts him down.…

Kate I’m really confused as to why Jezebel has not written about the rather surprising (to me anyway) fact that the majority of white women voted for Trump. Despite his patent misogyny. Surely this is a big story? Especially in the light of claims that have been made in the past about the role of white women in…

Not to mention the fact that European emission and efficiency standards aren’t going away any time soon — in fact they will tighten even further regardless of what Trump does.

So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

Oooh, I remember this case from one of my murder podcasts. While the fight may have been instigated by her or started on ‘equal’ ground (both acting a fool/crazy/drunk rage), he should have let her go when she said she wanted to leave. I’m surprised that he was cleared on everything. How terrible for her family to…

“This violence is trying to teach us a lesson, it wants to put us back in a traditional role into which we don’t fit any more,” says Cantabria. “It’s not a specific blow by a specific man against one woman in particular, it’s a message to all women to return to our stereotypical roles.”

While I concur that it’s important to reject the “boys will be boys” excuse by our own experiences..

Right, but there is a real problem with rape in the military. Do you guys comment about that too when you are in the barracks?

Except that so many men do say vulgar shit about women all the time and though OP might have a different experience we shouldn’t dismiss that kind of sexism just because it doesn’t amount to rape or assault. Not all men in my life but I’m surrounded by male friends/co-workers/clients/family who almost instinctively…

Ah yes, I forgot. A man is talking about misandry, so I should shut up about the women who fell victims to Trump’s predatory behavior.

nor does he ever say that the primary problem here is that Trump is making men look bad.

Yes, MEN are the real victims here.
