The scary thing is that he likely truly believes himself to be enlightened and pro-woman. He’s likely completely correct that women have played, and continue to play, a very important role in his political career.

You should have said - while waiting for her to reach the dogs - “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how much that thrills me.”

I didn’t

I need the number for your cat trainer please.

3 reasons:

“Kid Rock’s boat was ALL Kid Rock.”

My mother once told me I was the ugliest baby she ever saw. And then followed up with ‘You look fine now though’.

“I’ll never understand why some white people feign surprise whenever other white folk spew some racist bullshit.”

Most of us don’t hang out with the racists. I absolutely believe that racism is a thing and know that many of my friends have to deal with crap like this every day. But I was raised in a multicultural community, married into a not racist family and don’t have racist friends. I have heard a white person use the “n…

I know! I used to take my mom to her doctors appointments, it drove me nuts when people would ask ME questions about HER health, while she was sitting there. I know they didn’t mean harm, but they saw a disability and assumed she couldn’t speak for herself. I wanted to snap, ”She uses a walker, she didn’t lose her…

Holy hell! The “haaappppy biiiirthday” and clapping made me want to vomit. Treating the elderly like they are children is the ultimate disrespect.

So, explain to me how Bernie *actually* will be better for the common person. Not his pie in the sky dreams. What will he actually accomplish, like for realz accomplish, as someone who won’t compromise? When the only leverage he has for domestic policy is negotiating and pleading (remember, the president doesn’t…

Have you watched her in action? She’d be considered a TERRIFIC politician if she were male. She’s engaged, quick on her feet, sympathetic, smart, and unfuckingbelievably well prepared. But everything she does is judged against this super coded background noise of “but well she’s shrill and her ambition is unseemly.”…

I didn’t dispute that it would be the first for both, you aren’t laying out a new fact. But it is simply not on the same level, and will not have the same impact to a significant portion of our population. And to try to suggest they have the same significance is to be woefully ignorant. In 2013, women comprised 20% of…

His use of the quote was to dismiss anything about Clinton except her uterus. That the only thing she has going for her candidacy is her sex. He basically invalidates her career, activism, education, etc and makes it only about her gender. Fuck that noise.

I’m not discussing Clinton’s qualifications or her privilege in my statement. It’s true she hasn’t lived as anything other than a privileged white woman, but when I hear these sort of “if im not outright sexist that means I’m okay and I’m for women” statements, as a woman, it feels the same as every time I’m told I’m…

I am absolutely not doing that. I am saying that the line “I’m not saying let’s stand together, vote for a man” is the stupidest possible response to this.

Thank you! So much. I swear, I don’t hate Sanders. I dislike any number of his supporters, and I don’t think that his promises are realistic, but he certainly doesn’t seem to be a bad guy. But how those supporters can ignore that he’s one of those white male progressives who is just as clueless on race and gender…

My issue with both Killer Mike’s statement and this response (and Bernie Bros in general) is that the implication is that HRC *is* saying, “Vote for Me Because I Have A Uterus!”

That analogy doesn’t hold terribly well... A disadvantaged class attempting to collectively improve its position by promoting members of the group has a demonstrated track record of success in helping to mitigate historical disadvantages. A less controversial example of this might be a campaign to promote black-owned…
