There are "gays" who've made the same observations as you about "women" and "POC." There are POC who've made those same observations about women and gays. They are equally as convinced of the factual accuracy of those anecdotal observations, and they are equally as incorrect as you. I understood perfectly well what…

Exactly! I don't understand how some people are missing that

I don't think she was implying that POC and LGBT people are already equal at all. I have said what she is saying and used similar wording but as a brown person no one saw it as me being insensitive about racial discrimination. So I think that's where the problem lies, had she been a brown or black woman saying it,…

Exactly! I don't understand why that was so difficult for so many to understand. I have noticed that gendered based discrimination is often seen as a trivial issue compared to discrimination against gay people or race based discrimination and i'm glad PA spoke out about that.

You're missing the point again. A gay black woman would face discrimination because she's gay, black and a woman. If I fight for equal rights for gays then she will have same equal rights as straight couples who want to marry. If i fight for black people's right to vote then she will have equal rights as white people…

I really don't think that's what she meant. She's simply saying gender based discrimination be given as much importance as race discrimination and discrimination against gay people. Our society does see the discrimination I may face because i'm not white as more important and valid complaint than gender based…

She wasn't talking about just equal pay alone. Yes men and women of color get paid less than white men and women but women of color get paid less than men of color. Women in every marginalize group still struggle more. Women of color face discrimination not only because of the color of their skin but also because they…

It's not particularly difficult to not tell oppressed/marginalized people that they should be fighting for less oppressed/marginalized people.

She wasn't condescending or marginalizing in any way. As a brown woman i have often felt exactly what PA said and i'm so happy that someone addressed this issue. A lot of people think racism and gay rights is much more serious than sexism and fighting for women's rights. American society is much more accepting of…

I don't want children either but i still believe paid parental leave is important for every member of society. This shoegal person is annoying!!!

I'm a woman with no desire to reproduce and i have dealt with negativity in life due to that, so i am sensitive to the issue as well, but I don't think that's what Patricia Arquette meant at all.

Maybe they were just kind of out of it. I've been to ceremonies and events where i zone out and end up missing the few really great moments. Or maybe they had just gotten in a huge fight with someone else or heard some really bad news right before it... my point being there are hundreds of reasons why they didn't…

If you take it upon yourself to speak about a social issue, you damn well better know something about it. This bitch didn't.

I don't think she was excluding gay people or people of color at all. I think people are trying really hard to find fault with what she's saying just because she's a straight white woman. Her speech sounded like she was calling out for people to take issues caused by sexism more seriously. I have also felt that many…

It seems like you're really trying to find fault with what PA said. I'm a brown woman and i've often felt the same way as her and can relate to what she said. I'm for gay rights and PoC but i've seen a lot of people who support equal rights for these groups, don't support equal rights for women or don't see sexism as…

I remember when the guy who I "lost my virginity" to tried fingering me before we decided we were ready for sex and it was extremely uncomfortable and painful. He stopped after like 30 seconds because he could see the discomfort in my face. I would not recommend fingering before doing the deed or at least till your…

You are very lucky and I think it really comes down to many factors. It depends on where you live, the people you interact with, how often you find yourself alone in public and the type of place(city/town), and the other can be your own attitude. If you come off as a very confident person who can carry her own, you…

still doesn't explain how men of all cultures, religions, countries and histories enslaved women

The final placement and time for the entire challenge was

Holly crap i had a sex dream about him 2 nights ago. Probably because I was re-watching battle of the seasons right before bed. After hearing what he had to say about women last night, I doubt I'll ever have another sex dream about him. I was already kind of over his face and his words from last night left me so…
