This is such an offensive and tone-deaf campaign that I thought for sure it was satire (or like a marketing stunt). But it appears to be an actual thing. WTF, people?

Yeah. I’m assuming he was ejected for being erect and harassing people, not simply having a boner.

In fact, the woman behind the original mattress protest at Columbia has actually asked people not to carry pillows: http://columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2014/1…

“Kipnis’s article basically accused the graduate student of lying, of being melodramatic, and of harming Ludlow. Title IX prohibits retaliation against alleged victims.”

If “retaliation” can actually be defined as “writing about a case in a way that the accuser disagrees with,” then it would almost certainly invite First Amendment challenges to Title IX, which would leave victims of actual retaliation—such as, I don’t know, being fired for bringing a Title IX complaint against a…

That helps me understand why the grad students could have viewed her essay as “retaliation.” They weren’t upset with her argument; they were upset that she was reporting on the case.

“I don’t know if I would have filed a Title IX complaint.”

Whether or not you agree with her original article, filing a Title IX complaint is obviously not the right solution (and I’m frankly surprised it’s even allowed in this case).

It’s not just feminism, of course. By definition, any capitalist ideology cannot address the needs of the most disenfranchised.

Are you seriously arguing that labor issues and reproductive rights ignore race? If anything, I think that labor issues disproportionately affect WOC and tend to be ignored by what you term “White Liberal Feminism.”

I don’t entirely agree with this essay—which is really dismissive of Foucault and critical theory—but I think it makes an important point about how lots of feminist online activism bizarrely combines a “structural” critique of power relations in society with criticism of individuals’ actions.

You pronounced it “epitoam” instead of “epitahmee”?

I used to pronounce it “segyoo.”

Are you saying it’s a problem that people are traveling with drugs or that people who aren’t white and rich are getting caught traveling with drugs?

Is it Brunswick? It definitely sounds like the author goes to a single-sex school.

I don’t think Littlefinger knows about Ramsay’s reputation. He even had a line last episode—“I don’t know much about you”—that seemed designed to let the audience know that he wasn’t intentionally setting Sansa up with a sadist.

Wait a minute. Jaime killing the Mad King was ABSOLUTELY the right decision. Otherwise, he would have burned King’s Landing and killed thousands of innocent people.

How quickly we forget!

I find the show hilarious, but I’m surprised by how it treats race.

"If baseline getting off is the only criteria here, then—as you can see—the situation Alison Stevenson has devised is less selfish than it is equal."
