There are a lot of shitty women in the world. A lot of them. We can still protect their rights while acknowledging we don’t like them. It’s not that hard. It just requires a belief in basic human rights.

You’re right: they can’t be shamed. At least not about being stupid, hideous racists. Sometimes, though, they can be goaded into a corner by their own stupidity. Still, I believe you are right. I’ll ignore and dismiss when I can. If I see a clear opening to demonstrate that someone is dumb (just plain ignorant of…

How do you feel about people responding to trolls on pages like this? Trolls who say racist shit? There’s a lot of folks who say not to respond to them. . . . . and I can understand the reasoning: it just gives them the attention they want. But, on the other hand, I think it could be good to give them a resounding…

People just came out of the wood work to say racist shit to you? What the fuck. What the fuck. I know I should cease to be shocked (particularly given some of the comments on gawker these days). But what the fuck. I am so sorry this happened to you. That this happens to anyone. That it is so common that we shouldn’t…

How old are you? I’m serious. Not trying to be an asshole. In 2000, MANY people were super fed up with the establishment. Many people were saying that there was little light between Gore and Bush. And what did eight years of Bush get us? Broken international laws. Pre-emptive war. Greater destabilization in the middle…

They also don’t seem to understand how change happens in a democracy (or democratic republic). Sure their perfect ideals may hang more with Stein than Clinton. . . . .but Stein will never be elected. She would never be elected even if we had a “Woah THIRD PARTY DUDES” system. Our country is mostly moderate, with a…

Of course the only retort I get from Kara and other blacks is “DATS RACIST” but I didn’t really expect them to understand irony.

Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck is wrong with people?

This makes me smile.

I was shocked to hear Susan Estrich is on this case. Her book, Real Rape, was pretty revolutionary in terms of fighting against common rape myths. But then I looked her up and saw she is a regular commenter on Fox News. . . . .

I’m not sure you understand the purpose of quoting people. There was no reason for me to supply every single context. If you would like, you can read about the contexts yourself: http://correctrecord.org/praise-for-hil…

Indeed. . . . . .and the main group that Pence would really attract—white Evangelical Christians—were already gonna vote for Trump in droves—polls had him at 4/5 support in that group.

Intersectionality is supposed to broaden our approaches to feminism, not narrow or stratify them.

I hate this way of thinking in any context. . . . . “I think this problem is worse than your problem so let’s not talk about your problem. . . .” Logic like this will get us NOWHERE.

You expressed this so eloquently. Comments like these reassure me that reading Jezebel is worthwhile.

And yet, Hellery has not accomplished anything significant in the one elected office she’s held. YET, she’s so caustic, so difficult that no one likes to work for her.

I think you’ve nailed it here. I love Colbert. I think he’s a good man. I really want to defend him. But the “reasons” he is citing are so dated and betray a real lack of knowledge re: the nature of barriers to equal access in our society. He needs to do some learning. “I like my writer’s room just the way it is and I…

Yep. It’s a dated argument that ignores the complexity of barriers to equal access and opportunity. Disappointing.

Do you know what he’s like on the debate stage? Also, do people find him charismatic?

This makes him a perfect pick—particularly given that the newest (and most conservative ever) GOP platform describes coal as “clean energy.”
