And Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat didn’t stop black people from being lynched or guarantee them the right to vote. In a literal sense, what you’re saying is true, but progress happens in steps so small we don’t realize their significance in the moment. Only through the lens of history do we see that they…

They made a (black) maintenance worker put it back up almost immediately, just in time for the KKK rally. <— I hate everything about this sentence.

I CALL EMMA WATSON I CALL HER SHE IS MINE.

My coffee shop had loyalty punch cards and my (HOT, deep-voiced, gentle giant) barista not only knew my drink, he punched that card like 7 times every time I handed it to him. #truelove

Truest goddamn thing I’ve ever read on Jezebel.

God, I am still waiting for Jason Bourne to whisk me away to Greece/India/whereverthefuck. Would also accept Faramir (book Faramir, not mopey bad-decision-making Faramir), Mark Darcy, Daryl Dixon (but only during an actual apocalypse), and a very specific version of King Arthur from The Child Queen & The High Queen by…

“Governor Haley, whose recent eloquence on the subject [of the confederate flag] is worthy of praise”

Agreed. And the founding fathers knew this and tried to tell us:

My uterus. The Second Amendment. Benghazi. The “global warming” conspiracy. Reverse racism. The War on Christmas. Benghazi. Sluts. Anti-vaxxing. Potheads. FORNICATION!

I feel like every marriage, gay or straight, deserves a dancing Colberlas in the background, and a dancing Hiddles in the everywhereallthetimeplease.

That is a thing of beauty. I can never repay you, but I can try:

I hope you wax his nipples right the fuck off.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this!

I think a lot of them wouldn’t phrase it the same way you’re phrasing it. They’d say, “I have a great job because I worked hard for it and never acted like a victim. I love looking pretty and getting compliments and doing girly things. It’s ridiculous to think men and women are identical, and why should we be? We have…

Those are all really interesting points and I would never have thought to consider them. Thanks for adding some insider context to the conversation!

For sure. No teenager should be left to figure out something as complex as systemic racism on her own, but every adult knows that the more you try to hammer an idea into a teenage skull, the more teenage stubbornness pushes it right back out. I don’t even you trying to handle the situation because it sounds thorny as…

Be a voice of reason when women aren’t around. My sense is that often guys feel most comfortable making sexist statements when there are no women nearby to be offended, which means we can’t hear it and we can’t stop it. But you guys can.

I think anonymity and online safety are a two-way street. If you remove anonymity, you (1) make it easier for law enforcement to find & arrest online harassers, but (2) you also make it easier for online harassers to find & harass women.

That sounds terrible. On so many levels. I’m sorry you have to deal with all that.
