The hypothesis “men are stimulated visually more so than women because they are conditioned to be” is a stronger hypothesis than “men are stimulated visually more so than women because.”

We look at porn too, buddy. IF you’re more “visually stimulated” than women it’s possibly because your eye-boners are catered to more than ours, and we take what we can get. That’s probably why more women identify as bisexual, too. We spend our whole lives internalizing the male gaze.

Yeah, my supervisor (who is male and older but very chill and not an asshole) was SO thankful I ended up keeping my name because the amount of tech work and admin stuff required would have meant a lot more work for him and his supervisor. And I saved them money by not asking the agency to change my name everywhere, as…

Legally changing your name is the BIGGEST hassle. I took a whole day off work to do the DMV, social security, bank and still ended up fighting with my health insurance and CVS because they couldn’t grasp that I got married and legally changed my name. Then for the same reason I lost my eye care insurance because…

I think there’s a big fat lie out there that it’s only possible to get married at all if you subsume your personality to a man’s. Like, an implicit belief we get from culture. I have friends who do this shit all the time. I used to do this shit all the time, or at least try, but I could never make it work long-term…

Holy fucksauce. I’m so glad you didn’t keep your mouth shut on that one. And you also spoke your piece in a classy yet concise way. So are we all to just expect to get raped whenever we go anywhere with men? Jesus fucking christ...

much more than the women who passively accept sexism are those who go out of their way to attack feminists and claim that everyone who calls out sexism is a delicate snowflake and/or crazy.

I’d extend this to “serving in the military does not make you some kind of hero.” Some people that serve are genuinely great human beings. Some people that serve are terrible, monstrous assholes. You know, just like basically every other profession in existence.

I assure you that the comments for which Mr. Gremaud was censured were unprovoked. This is a fact uncontested by six members of the board. The discussion was not about teachers, students, farmers, or any other conjecture you may see on social media.

You are flat out wrong. Look it up. There are numbers and graphs all over the internet. The black homicide rate is waaaaaaaaay down from the early 1990’s. The crime bill created to address the problem had widespread support from all sorts of black groups at that time including the Congressional Black Caucus. I’m sorry…

Hillary has had public events. She’s been making the case in the early primary states. Bernie has had more and across the country because most voters have no idea who he is. He needs attention from the press.

Are you implying that the Clinton administration tough-on-crime policies were an effort to purposely hurt black people? I would agree that was the result, but I disagree that was the intention. She also isn’t “waiting until now to react to this.” Just because you’re not listening doesn’t mean she hasn’t been talking.…

“Aping”, huh? Not so subtle choice of words my friend.

Maybe she came off as a rich white lady wagging her finger at these people. And maybe the Democratic candidates’ inability to respond to questions reveals a strange lack of coaching. But notice that only the left requires this coaching nowadays. The GOP can provide literally any answer to these questions, without…

Why should people of color trust her after she lobbied for the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which included the three strikes provision?

So here she is actively asking to listen, rather than dictate from a place of white privilege, and still THAT’s not good enough?

But, BLM hasn’t really defined what they actually want, or what they expect. You can’t really just expect that she can change policing at all levels. Further, not all police shootings are illegitimate, even if the person shot is a young black guy. I firmly believe that police are reflexively violent towards people of…

Clinton asked them for “vision” and a “plan.”

How is Hilary supposed to have a plan to stop poverty, reduce income inequality, reverse decades of police bias, end the drug war (and, you should at least mention to context of the time when the drug laws were passed...not arguing that they were fair, but that the crack epidemic was a real thing...check out homicide…

Two people can have sex purely for sexual pleasure without dehumanizing each other. Sex does not have to be about love, commitment, marriage, or forming a relationship in order to be ethical. Casual sex is not responsible for rape- rape has existed for thousands of years, even in societies and time periods where…
