I’m feeling super hopeful. A very, very powerful man can be knocked down a peg for saying something awful that a little while ago would have passed unnoticed. Progress.

He referenced his own romantic experiences in a lab setting and how they were “disruptive to the science”

He’s just looking for anustart.

I’d hesitate to damn Hefner as actually condoning date rape for referring to one of the slang terms for Quaaludes. I mean, a lot of women took them precisely because they made them hornier.

I wonder if Joe Jonas is also a professional analrapist.

This is the one place I have an issue. On the Congressional floor, a woman was tossed because she used the word “vagina.” I understand that words like “vagina” can be considered exclusionary, but I really cannot give up using the correct nomenclature for vulva, vagina, labia, and so on because some women do not…

How bout we treat trans people as individuals instead of trying to categorize them into different subspecies?

Their truth is not my truth. Their female identities are not my female identity. They haven’t traveled through the world as women and been shaped by all that this entails. They haven’t suffered through business meetings with men talking to their breasts or woken up after sex terrified they’d forgotten to take their…

This issue is far too complicated and personal for me to give a shit about what other people think. Honestly.

I think the real issue here is that trans women provide a perfect target for cis women to vent their impotent rage against the patriarchy. That is, it’s much easier and safer to say “Caitlyn Jenner doesn’t know what it’s like to be afraid while walking home alone at night!” than to fight against the patriarchal…

I am reminded of the admonition that we Jews are to give the same deference to the convert as to one born Jewish. They came to the religion, took the time and the effort to learn about it, and, regardless of their motivation, they are, in the eyes of God, Jewish. This is something I agree with because I, being born…

TERFs are exhausting.

I don’t know why people find it so hard to believe that you can have differing experiences and still share the same identity. Of course trans women do not have the exact same experience of womanhood that cis women do. Women of color don’t have the same experiences that white women do, and queer women don’t have the…

Every time we wade into gender essentialist waters, I just remember Julia Serrano’s comments after starting hormones —that her victory was when she could wear the fumpiest, unfeminine clothing ever and people would perceive her as a woman.

Ain’t nobody got time for TERFs

Females need encouragement.

It was bad enough when the femicommunazis stole Mad Max. At least Charlize Theron has misogynist boner pleasing qualities, although not in Fury Road because she has the dreaded short hair. But now, a movie starring a FAT woman is on top? Oh the horror, the horror!

Oh god. Tucker Max. Thanks for bringing that up... *shudders*
