There’s a lot of White Feminism TM going on in there about “I experience 1 form of oppression, therefore EVERYTHING I DO IS OPPRESSED” as well as some serious Choice Feminism, i.e. “I demand that because I am a woman and I chose to read this that I be considered an empowered feminist because I made a choice”.

“After Meyers suggested that McCain’s assertion on a Sunday talk show (George Stephanopoulos’ This Week, McCain was quick to point out) that a perhaps ill-judged tweet from Representative Omar (reminder, a black, Muslim woman) helped precipitate the AR-15 hate crime attack from an avowed white supremacist dickhead…

Shut the fuck up, you longwinded blowhard. You are wrong. Mirkinson is right.

If you can find a comparison to teh far-right media ecology on the left, go ahead nad present it. That’s a false equivalence, and anyone not actively promoting misinformation for political purposes can see it.

All true, and airlines are just one of the most extreme and awful examples. The truth is that this kind of concentration has happened in loads of other industries over the last few decades. It’s why your ISP sucks and your mobile provider sucks and your health insurance sucks and...I could go on.

The 14 stunned birds were later quoted as saying “They were so good at the beginning of the season, what the fuck happened?!”

While you “yass queen” people were spending money buying ads in Georgia and dreaming of blue Texas, your “extremely well qualified candidate” couldn’t even win Michigan or Wisconsin and your ideology has led to the total collapse of the Democratic Party at the state and federal level.

Mere enforcement without interpretation is a literal impossibility. There are inherent limits to the clarity of language and the power of foresight that necessarily make enforcement an interpretative process. Moreover, virtually every modern law is passed with the intent of giving discretion to executive branch…

Hillary Clinton ran an unsuccessful campaign, but to say she ran a bad campaign is disingenuous.

Perhaps the sanctions and financial industry restrictions made it more difficult to wire the money there.

There should be way more banned words, and I think your post -might- be a play on this:

I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan. I consumed the Dark Horse comics, many of the novels, and so on.

It’s like Little Big Planet only fun!

This is extremely important. Whether you think it is “bad art” or not this is fucking important. When a rape victim story is ever put out for public consumption the general consensus is that people feel like they have a right to know exactly what happened, that if they could they should basically have video access to…

Yes to all of this. She obscures her own (not very rhetorically coherent) point behind layers of strawman and polemic arguments. It reads very much like a defense of professor/student relationships because they have value as a “learning tool,” and it does nothing but flippantly dismiss all of the bad things (for…

I think you’re reacting pretty fairly. I was lied to about the alcohol content of a beverage, and had too much and passed out. Then the man who raped me did just that. He had planned that. He knew I had said that I only wanted to have X drinks because I had taken medicine for menstrual cramps, and that I didn’t want…

How? She basically waxes nostalgically about student/teacher relationships:

I’m 46, a research prof, and not at NU, but I found Kipnis’ article off-putting. Faculty, really, it’s not that difficult - don’t fuck undergrads and do not fuck grad students in your department. We had a similar referendum at my university recently and it prompted absolutely zero discussion because it’s absolutely a…

With the risk of doxxing myself, I go to NU and am a grad student. I think her essay is in extremely poor taste since the “great prohibition” came out of a professor being a complete fucking creep (Peter Ludlow). Yes, it’s messed up to prohibit people from loving each other, but it hasn’t been socially acceptable for…
