That’s not how the show, nor how reality works. GoT characters experience tiny hardships or moments they feel to be unjust. The characters then react to those experiences and that reaction is hardly ever “simply glad they weren’t in the large mass of people being murdered.” Being betrayed by your prostitute lover…

Some people have accepted girls and women living in a world where they are and/or fear being sexually victimized as just something that happens and part of life but boys and men living in a world in which they are or can be sexually victimized is seen as something that shouldn’t happen as part of life as a male…

That’s what I was thinking. Had they just posted a picture of the new santa without mention of his race, it would be a better step towards normalizing non-white Santa. If bigots felt the need to comment on the race and make a big deal about it, then that would be evidence of them starting controversy over race, but…

This is the correct step. The reason women weren’t required to register was because women were denied combat roles. After years of fighting, women gained right to equal opportunity in the military, so the next step is to require women to register just as men have to at 18. An even more logical step, in my opinion,…

Glad to hear you were able to escape the toxicity in your life and have started a wonderful family of your own. Stories like yours are why I don’t hold name change decisions against individual women, everyone’s story is complexed and we live in a society that encourages this decision. It’s encouraged institutionally…

The votes weren’t there in in the senate. Are you going to hold Pelosi accountable for senate votes? The Democrats we the voters elected in states like Montana just weren’t progressive enough and the reason was because in certain states and districts, the voters are more conservative and that’s the best we can get…

I don’t like continued practice of archaic traditions, that placed women in a secondary position in society, in 2016. We seem to have done a much better job at rejecting race/religion based practices that put certain members of society in a secondary role but gendered ones are deeply ingrained to the point we now…

What does Mrs mean?

Pelosi successfully passed more bills than any speaker. I hold her accountable for things she’s directly responsible for. You’re blaming them for everything that’s gone on the way republicans seem to blame President Obama. When it comes to the health care bill, the votes simply weren’t there. If Democrats got out and…

I don’t like it because I don’t like the title “mrs” being applied to/used by anyone under 40. What’s her last name? Try for a cute mix that’s inclusive of her identity as well.

Pelosi was the most effective speaker in modern times and one of the most effective speaker ever! The woman should remain leader for as long as she wishes to run!

hijab has nothing to do with women’s bodies being “intrinsically immodest”

Majority of Muslim women don’t wear Hijab. There have been other Miss USA contestants who’re Muslim. There are many Muslim women who’re doing notable and normal things. They and their accomplishments consistently go ignored because they don’t wear a hijab. All this tells me, a woman of Muslim background, is if I want…

There have been many Muslim women in the Miss USA pageant. Rima Fakih,a muslim American of Lebanese descent, actually won Miss USA in 2010. I’m sick of only Muslim women highlighted in the media being the ones who wear hijab. Majority of muslim women don’t believe the Islamic interpretation that requires women to…

I’m a woman of muslim background and news on glorifying the Hijab is always upsetting. I don’t know why some liberals see women in Hijab as something to celebrate. Recognize it for what it is, a sexist dress code based on one interpretation of Islam, but stand up if it ever becomes the reason for discrimination or…

Except a lot of people didn’t survive Bush presidency. It brought a lot of suffering that took nearly 8 years to even repair in part. We were lucky to have President Obama but lets not forget about all that was lost under Bush presidency and the potential of all that we can lose under another GOP(let alone this…

Unfortunately that’s also the case with many religion and racial minority groups in America. The Asian, Latino, Muslim vote used to go to Republicans until 2008. Republicans had discriminatory, classist, anti-women policies even then but it wasn’t until after the immigration issue, the aftermath of 9/11, and recent…

Harris would also be the first Indian woman in Senate(First Indian in senate period actually)

Do you think this doesn’t happen in/among racial/religious minority communities? It does. Even in areas where minority groups aren’t accepted by the majority, the women in those communities are further marginalized as women. This has happened through out history. Even while fighting for civil rights, while WoC also…

It happened then and it happens now. I’m a little younger than you, I snuck out of the house and went to parties with boys in high school, drank and partied a lot in college, passed out in the same bed as my guy friends or on a friend’s couch, blacked out in the dorms my freshman year.. (yes, all that drinking was…
