Unwillingness to analyze experiences. Stop telling on yourself.

Homophobic bigots will remain as long as support for patriarchal gender roles remains.

I know you cant see me through your computer but I’m laughing so hard right now.

Lol at this entire comment. The mean coloreds won’t let me in their club and now I have a chip on my shoulder that i randomly bring up when writing to strangers on the internet. This entire comment is exhibit #43214214321452134321343214321 as to why white folks would crumble if faced with the type of prejudice they…

I honestly didn’t think about it until this semester, when I’m this very feminine person trying to deal with math and science courses structured for the typically male brain, and replete with subtle sexism...but there are literally so many different tricks that I learned as a relatively wealthy white person, that my…

As far as affirmative action goes, how much ego/sense of entitlement must one have to think the reason a school rejected them is because they had to give one’s spot to a person of color?

You don’t know Chechnya, then.

That’s exactly what he’s saying.

No. That’s exactly the claim he wants to make. And he’s proud to do so.

Nothing says ‘affirmative action for rich white kids whose parents made a big donation or are alumni’ than a community college transfer who has wealthy parents and is having trouble with calculus as a junior or senior. I went to Stanford a few years before she did. Nothing against community colleges - I took a year of…

You know, even if there wasn’t a comparable way for white students to get help, I wouldn’t care. This “the individual is the only thing that matters, groups don’t exist” is all very well in theory but it isn’t borne out by reality, and systemic factors mean that on average minority students at Stanford may well be…

The only difference being that Chechnya has a Muslim majority doing this.

“I never walked into the women’s center! Here’s why nobody needs it!”. 

“Devos Civil Right Office Appointee Once Claimed She Was Discriminated Against For Being White”

Great interview.

My wife and I watched Get Out in Dubai where we live, about two weeks ago. It’s a modern masterpiece in my opinion. What an enlightening and odd experience viewing the movie with hundreds of other non American expats. Peele’ s movie is so quintisentially American in its depictions of its lead characters experiences…

The level of familial dysfunction, drug abuse and general fucked-upness that I witnessed in my two years of NE boarding school is right in line with these emerging stories of sexual abuse. The culture in many of these places is a toxic stew of money, unbridled privilege, miserable families, and crusty white male…

I will play - I’m somewhat recently divorced (Yay!), and I have been dabbling in the internet dating. I went out with one guy who within minutes of meeting me said something like “you are actually cuter than pictures. I bet if you had better pictures, you would get a lot of dates” ... or something. It was like weird…

“If you’re intimidated, you just weeded yourself out of my garden. Thanks for saving me the effort. NEXT!!”

My high school boyfriend, after I initiated the break up conversation, told me he had been praying and receiving signs that we shouldn’t be together anyway. Which would be one thing if he just meant praying and then feeling strongly (like meditating might give someone clarity), but, no, he told me he would literally…
