I don’t expect “lockstep.”

Anytime a man says, “wait, what exactly is feminism about?” we get a similar answer, which is “equality for women.” That’s something I’m willing to fight for. The trouble is that in practice, some feminists will advance other goals that have nothing to do with equality for women. Jezebel isn’t even that radical of a…

I think being hit on in an elevator and having rad-fems shame people for making certain choices are pretty close to equivalent. There’s no surefire way to measure this, but they aren’t as far apart as your making it out to be.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that from a practical standpoint, it makes little sense for those who self-identify as feminists to argue over things like “does wearing a thong make me a good feminist?” when there are way way way more important issues that all feminists can agree to work together on. In…

You can apply this logic to any major political movement, philosophy or religion, so if you’re arguing that you can’t believe in “relativity” before someone’s really made the definitive argument on what “it” is, then the only way to be logically consistent is if you you have zero beliefs, convictions or political…

Yeah, but the debate over choice is super important, no?

Your original comment claimed that you wanted more information about a movement. Now you’re saying information isn’t enough, you gotta have a firm decision about which feminism is the “right” feminism. Maybe you need to sit down and think about what you want first.

Why does he care what women are “good” feminists? How will knowing that benefit him or women? It’s just derailing.

I don’t think ]google can settle the debate over whether or not “choice feminism” is the right kind of feminism.

Ok, but most people want to know more about a movement before they become an ally, and frankly, who can blame them?

i think that question in itself is a dead end and a huge distraction

This has to be about more than just country music. I grew up in the 90’s, and the alternative rock at the time was pretty much the same way. I have a hard time listening to today’s alternative stations, but when I do, I still hear mostly all-male bands. Rap stations here in DC are also dominated by male artists.

I’m not a lawyer, but I am a person who enjoys reading about applied statistics.

Because the early Beatles were really changing the genre of rock n roll

Yeah. Miley’s song about her pet Blow fish, “PaBlow” is better than this.

Yeah, I’m down. Good luck with the radfems, though.

Go away.

I totally agree with you, but I imagine that from a certain feminist lens, problems arise once sex is involved. Many people are not OK with employers having sex with employees due to the power dynamic, so what happens when a marriage is reduced to a paid occupation?

Forget about what poiticians do, and instead think about what they say. This sounds backwards, but conservitive politicians aren’t good representatives of conservatives, rather, what they say is a good representation of what conservatives think. This is why an ivy league biology major named Bobby Jindal, will act like…

Are you Andrew Sullivan
