I know, right? It’s kind of a scary thought. Do you mind me asking what age you are? Or, rather, whether you lived through the 2000 election?

Agreed. And, it’s like, just part of her whole schtick. I listened to an interview with her on FreshAir last year where I could hear her turning herself into a fucking pretzel trying to avoid why she supported her husband’s DOMA decision in 1996. I was like, JUST SAY YOU WERE WRONG, IT WAS 20 years AGO IN 1996 I…

It’s hard for me to respond to this because the #notallwhitepeople urge is strong in me. As I think it probably is in many white people. And I don’t want to say anything that is going to turn this pain and injustice into being about white people and our feelings and how we’re not the pearl-clutchers, etc, etc, etc.

Oye. Pulling out the “Reading Comprehension” card is pretty pedantic.

I’m in a bit of the “Feel The Bern Haze” so, I might be wrong. . . . .but I feel like Bernie Sanders is way more effective at communicating about women’s rights/health issues than Hillary. In terms of minorities, he has had (in my opinion) a way better response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Instead of talking…

I agree that the scandal doesn’t seem like that much of a scandal in and of itself. But, in light of the somewhat shady operations of the Clinton Foundations, as well as Clinton’s general squirminess about EVERYTHING, it starts to look bad. That doesn’t mean I’m like, HER EMAILS! THE OUTRAGE! Just that I think this…

I only recently started thinking Bernie could be a potential general candidate. I felt like I was in a feverish acid dream. And still do. Still, I wonder if general elections are decided as much, if not more, by a candidate’s ability to bring voter enthusiasm to groups that are generally apathetic (e.g. young voters).…

More stars.

As a (white) woman who has been discriminated against for my gender and assaulted, etc. etc. etc., I’m really offended by your comment. I mean, so what? Yes, we should talk about how we have to live in fear. And we should talk about how hard it can be to be a girl/woman in a sexist world.

I completely believe that it is necessary. I heard an interview from Ta Nehisi Coates on fresh air where he was talking about how fiercely he had to teach his son to not challenge authority—because a black child could not safely challenge authority. That’s just equally fucking terrible. And it’s. . . .there are no…

It is really horrifying/awful if men of color get this “education.” It’s so fucking wrong.

I wish more people would bring up the fact that Crystal Mangum was/is severely mentally ill. People prop up the Duke Lacrosse case as an example of false accusations/ why women must be lying ALL THE TIME. And rarely mention the context at all.

And um, totally looking forward to it too.

Oh, the mystery of it! It will all be so mysterious. And, like, not at all necessary to address how fucking loaded the central plot device is. A woman, no memory, HER ENTIRE BODY COVERED IN TATTOOS, naked. And the point is: this is mysterious! And not at all about female bodily integrity! Because Karate.

I think I *might* have considered watching this if “Kurt Weller FBI” weren’t tattooed in such a tacky font. Where are we? 1999?

How is it that white women keep pulling this shit? Identifying that WOC and young girls of color have to face specific issues does not, in any way, undermine the idea that ALL women have to face issues.

You’re awesome. Thank you.

I humbly apologize :).

Man, this enrages me, actually. It shows a complete lack of concept of what sexual assault is (I.E. NOT SEX). It’s so dismissive of these victims and the silence they endured.

These women are the reason why Tina Fey should not be inviting Mindy Kaling to make sex jokes about Bill Cosby. Particularly as those jokes invite a conflation between sexual assault and sex. Rape victims often live in silence, as many of these women did, and this silence can be traced to a variety of factors,…
