Okay, I think my main gripe with this strike is that it doesn’t prove anything to anyone. When you have a Republican administration that honestly thinks that “no one respects women more than I do” (Congress included, not just Cheeto), and TRULY believes that their [horrific] policies are better for women than…

I’m having a little trouble trying to parse your thoughts here, but I thiiiink I might see where you’re trying to say? If the strike is meant to show the importance of women in the workforce, I think the counterargument from people who would oppose this strike is that, no one is arguing women aren’t important. I mean,…

See THIS is why we need to stop saying Trump’s name, and always just say “the Republican adminstration”. He doesn’t get to be known as bold, or common-sense, or as some maverick crosser of party lines, when he is literally a fucking mouthpiece for Mike Fucking Pence. We need to stop lamenting the fucking cult of…

I cannot WAIT to hear his response to this. How do you even begin to defend/apologize for this behavior after all his feminist statements? I’m sure his non-apology will be a tangled web of hypocrisy.

Sexism in tech manufacturing? Knock me over with a feather.

Your extensive arguments are a little too “doom and gloom” for me, but that’s not really what I want to talk about here.

I have totally been thinking this too. I think much of the outrage is due mostly to the fact that education impacts LITERALLY everyone. It’s a major, major appointment, and perhaps most importantly, people generally understand the job (or think they do). Most people know VERY little about things like foreign policy,…

That’s a great clarification, and I totally agree, it’s bad and needs to change. That being said, “sadness, drug addiction, and misery” sort of holds true for the Moonlight part, while that film is being pretty widely heralded as a different and excellent take on a black experience. Obviously, I think the movie as a…

And [Hopefully] 2017: Mahershala Ali - a drug dealer (who dies halfway through the film).

I have absolutely no doubt about that. They would never have announced this if they weren’t sure it was going to pass anyway. No one else is going to vote no, I guarantee it.

It is a lot easier to dismiss all anti-Trump voters as dismissive than it is to try and understand the perspective of others.

“There’s no such thing, unfortunately, anymore as facts.”

WHY CAN THEY NOT FORM ACTUAL SENTENCES????

Totally fair. I agree, some new perspectives would be SO welcome.

You’re totally right. I am pretty critical and/or bored by her premise, but I need to remember that not everyone runs in circles where everyone already knows this stuff. Will those people read this book? Not likely. Is this book inclusive of anyone besides white upper middle class urban millennial ladies? No. But the…

I know, I know, I sound like a mean girl. I actually want to support this author and her book and other forward-thinking female authors. It just sometimes feels like pounding your head against a brick wall, moaning “I get it alreadyyyy...”

YES. Maybe the interview doesn’t do the book justice, but this seems so booooooring.
