So he’s Aiden?

What do you think the venn diagram of rabid Trump supporters and domestic abusers looks like?

Reminder: when you say you are against feminism, then you are simply saying you do not believe women should be equal to men.

Just a warm thank you to the Jezzie poster here who nicely and politely answered my question about what “beard” is in this context. I read this Ellen story all knowing and in the know and knowing and knowing. It’s so great. Thank you, friend.

There’s actually a chance they may cast her in a very clever and aware light that she herself isn’t catching onto. Transparent has been good about recognizing the privilege of its characters and the big difference in experience between rich and poor, white and trans women of color.

I don’t personally get the base notes of slut-shame, but I do detect a rancid top note of judgment.

That source is really reaching, isn’t it? I get a slut-shamey vibe from it.

Uh oh. I accidentally saw an email last night that my cat sent to this photgrapher setting up a special photography session with his wonderful owner NEXT WEEK.

Your first comment: rude.

The fuck?! No really, you have actually had people argue that to you? How are you not in prison? You have the measured decorum of Gandhi. There are only a handful of things in this world that would turn me violent. Hearing someone say that would be one of them.

oooohhhh, that makes much more sense.

To point out that the media still does a piss-poor job covering rape cases. Was that not clear?

I don’t know, maybe highlighting that various media outlets are writing “poor unfortunate athlete got caught raping, punished, potential sport career ruined” rather than “bad rapist rapes, caught, punished for being bad raping rapist”.

Yes, absolutely true for me, and for other women I know in similar situations. That’s part of the “leaving quietly” thing. And I might get flack for it here (“be loud! You’re part of the problem!” Etc) but y’all don’t know my life and I do what I can to try to change the minds of the people around me a little bit at a…

Stop Tyler the creator, stopppp.

Because the hallmark of a great leader is never thinking about major political issues until someone with a tv camera asks you.

Now, who have I heard say really shitty things and then insist it was just a joke?
Oh, that’s right. Abusers.

Yeah, I don’t know how to feel about this. Like, I’m super happy that queer and trans folks won’t get legally discriminated against in Georgia, but I’m disappointed that the only thing standing in the bill’s way was a veto and big business interests.

I’m glad she included the bit about the dude apologizing, and that it didn’t actually make her feel better. This is a whole part of it. “Hey, sorry I sent you a dickpic/called you a slut/grabbed your tits/sent you that explicit email. I don’t know what I was thinking.” “Well, this doesn’t actually make me feel better…
