I don’t understand this logic, that just because Republicans are monsters and get away with atrocities somehow excuses people on our side? Like, I’ve seen a lot of people genuinely upset that men on “our side” are facing consequences while republicans are flourishing, and that as long as Roy Moore is still running,…

You are absolutely correct. I’m in the process of immigrating to the UK from the US, my dog just needs all his paperwork and vaccines sorted in order to enter. No quarantine necessary. The quarantine is only if you don’t have your shit together and no proof of current vaccine. Dunno where this person you’re replying…

Lol, the person you’re responding to here is a coward who dismissed my response to him. I knew he would. I gave him a bunch of scenarios from my life where self defence wouldnt have protected me and asked him to account for it. He just wants all the responsibility to prevent sexual assault to be on women so that he…

Lol, what? Is this satire? We’re just supposed to accept this? That men are allowed to fully experience life and women just sit at home? Cleaning and cooking and waiting for dear husband to come home from living life to rape her once again?

How can a person defend themselves if they’ve been drugged, or is incapacitated by alcohol then is gangraped by men she thought were her friends? How can a person whip out some sick moves to defend herself when it’s her boyfriend, whom she loves, who is raping her after she said not tonight, sweetie? What about when…

Your post made me cry. I’m nb trans... afab... haven’t and probably won’t medically transition. I’m closeted everywhere except on Reddit and here, because I know I wouldn’t be able to deal with people ridiculing my pronouns or my gender. My mother can’t even stop snarking about me being vegetarian, so I can’t imagine…

I can’t wait to see Governor Hedge Fund lose his election next year.

Thank you. Thank you. That is so encouraging, thank you for making that stand. If I had someone like you on my side, I may not have had to leave my ph.d. program. You are making a difference to somebody, even if you don’t know who they are.

I’m super disappointed, but not shocked. It’s jarring, though, to get confirmation that my acceptance in the leftist “revolution” is always conditional on the fact that I swallow shit and accept abuses by powerful men.

I used to think that religion was the root cause of misogyny. But when I realised that every single male dominated culture on the planet is rotten to the core with misogyny, whether it’s secular or sectarian, civil or military, public or private...

Corollary on the left:

I would bet my life savings on the fact that there is not a single university out there that isn’t actively protecting predatory faculty. The only difference between institutions is which is better at covering up the problem.

I really wish that we would stop using dementia as an excuse for the actions of dirty old men, especially before there is any actual evidence of dementia. Jesus Christ, the lengths people will go to to conjure up excuses for men’s bad behaviour would be unbelievable but it’s not. Thanks for doing your part to…

Wow, it sure looks like this whole system was set up to permit rampant, widespread sexual abuse and to protect, regardless of cost, the powerful predators. And our supposed male Democratic *allies* are absolutely enjoying the benefits of this system. Where are they? One weak-sauce committee hearing? So revolutionary.

Idk.. the most frustrating thing for me is that so. many. women have been harassed and abused at the hands of these men, women who were just trying to do their jobs. How many amazing anti-Trump women politicians and reporters have we missed out on because they were harassed out of their careers, or had their careers…

It really sucks because I don’t want to be the kind of person who reflexively distrusts all men, even men ostensibly on our side... but fuck, they’re making it so hard :/

No, Mike Pence’s stupid rule dehumanizes and objectifies women just as much, while also working to deny women equal career opportunities as men. Mike Pence and grab-ass men are two sides of the same coin.

I don’t blame you, but I thought it was laughable to think that a 55 year old man who staged an elaborate skit to coerce a woman into kissing him, then stuck his tongue down her throat over her protestations, then staged a humiliating sexualized photograph to get back at her for rejecting him, was the kind of man who…

And academia... tenure plus an unending stream of students equals unchecked abuse :/

Nah, male tricolors are rare but they exist... the genes that determine that colour patterning are on the X chromosome, and you need two to be calico. Obviously females are more likely to do this, but males sometimes end up with an extra X chromosome, so they’ll be XXY and can be calico. 😊
