Gloria Steinem? The feminist who worked with the CIA in the 60s and 70s to counter radical left activities. Yeah she’s awesome!

You know she used to work for the CIA in the 70s. It’s true, not a conspiracy theory. Look it up.
That was insanely annoying. I was kinda in “Fuck Gloria Steinem” mode after that. She’s becoming out of touch. It happens to the best of us.
That pissed me off. She could have supported Hilary without disparaging those of us who prefer a more liberal economic agenda.
Steinem accused female Bernie supporters of “going where the boys are”.
This is one of those annoying holier-than-thou phrasings that’s an attempt to elevate yourself from the author of this article and the rest of us by claiming that we’re somehow okay with violence and you alone are not. The rest of us find violent abhorrent too. The point is that the overflow of violent news and images…
Welcome to the age of anger The anger and malevolence we can harbor in our hearts is bottomless. Here is a fantastic piece about how rationality went out the window with the election and brexit.
We are shocked. That’s the thing. The majority of us living comfortable lives and blogging about random stuff on the internet do not regularly see these kinds of images in real life.
I seriously doubt Loyola had an investigative wing that goes deep into the backgrounds of every student. He didn’t have a criminal record when he applied. He didn’t even have pending charges. He didn’t commit the crime at Loyola or even while he was a student there. It even happened in another state. How were they…
Well, the sentencing guidelines were, what, six to fourteen years for sexual assault? What possible reason could he have for giving only six months? I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Persky was also a Stanford athlete, and that may have influenced him to be more lenient to Turner. And apparently…
I’m inclined to agree. I hate the sentence he imposed, but it was within the sentencing guidelines for a first-time offender. We all opposed mandatory sentencing requirements because it failed to allow judges to take into account the individual circumstances of each case, but we can’t have it completely both ways…
Okay, so this is going to be a very unpopular opinion, but although I think that Judge Persky’s sentencing was repulsive and any chief judge worth their salt should assign him only to commercial contracts cases or something similar in the future, I’m not sure that he should have been convicted of judicial misconduct.…
But please guys, rant some more about how women’s colleges are sexist.
To be clear, the votes for Powell and Spotted Eagle came from people who were supposed to vote FOR Clinton. Those are democrat defectors, not republican defectors.
Come on. Four idiotic Democratic electors voted for Colin Powell and Faith Spotted Eagle, while that moronic guy switched to Clinton.
Look, I’m just as disappointed in this election’s outcome as anyone. But could we all stop with the fucking crying about it? Seriously, put on your fucking big boy and big girl pants and start figuring out what to do now. Jesus fucking
Christ on a stick.
Again, didn’t Tilda Swinton literally say “feel free to tell me to fuck off” meaning “I understand if you don’t want to educate me on this, if that’s the case just say so no worries.”?
I cannot for the life of me get why people don’t get this. This isn’t looking for a minority mentor. This is someone deliberately misrepresenting a conversation for attention and advocate street cred. She threw a colleague (in the loosest sense) under the bus when that colleague didn’t deserve it. She got called out…
It really feels like lose/lose for Tilda here.
I’m guessing that Cho doesn’t understand why a lot of people are pissed at her. It has nothing to do with her feelings that Asian actors should play Asian roles, which is completely valid. Everyone’s pissed because she took what was supposed to be a private conversation, twisted it into the worst possible…
