Hey, hon. Just wanted to acknowledge you and thank you for sharing.

How this culture construct sex categories and gender categories is incorrect and based on false information. Culture constructs only the sex categories of male and female and ignores intersex people; culture constructs only sex categories of men and women, identifies them with specific sex categories, and creates them…

But, like—it’s not actually our job to educate you? And even if some of us would have opted to do that emotional work on your behalf, you turned us off big time by saying a bunch of very disrespectful things and by the tone of your post before your one, easily answered question. You seem to be profoundly upset…

For real. I have literally never had this issue. My rule of thumb is basically to assume “they/them” unless told otherwise, or unless the person clearly presents in a specific way on purpose. But it’s still good to ask, and I have never had one single person ever get mad at me for asking.

But, like—this is important. If I walk up to a friend of mine and use the term “n—ga” because I’m trying to bond, is that malice? No. Is it tremendously fucked up? HELL yes. Do they have every right to no longer want to be my friend and then to cuss me out? Of COURSE. Because it’s disrespectful. It denies a massively…

I think this is a really important article. Also, can I just please mention that my professor at a notably liberal college campus, teaching grad students, in a liberal part of California, at a school whose undergrad is all women, at one of the most racially diverse campuses...has twice now refused to call a trans…

I’m sure it was very traumatic, but also, Jason Aldean has some incredibly sexist, insulting, degrading songs. I mean, as someone who actually LISTENS to Aldean, there was a not-so-small part of me that was disappointed he wasn’t one of the people who got shot...not that I would want ANYONE to get shot, but I mean, if…

It’s actually dangerous to kick a horse in the side though. There are plenty of internal organs near there that could get damaged.

They’re trained to the nines. And if you’re rich like her, you can afford horses who wouldn’t kick you if you set a bomb off in their face.

If you’re seriously going to refuse to date someone just cuz they like horses, it’s probably a good thing we’ve never met.

Hey! I’m a horse person. The reality though is that the people who are moved up the levels fast are the people whose parents can afford to buy them fancy horses, whether or not they really know how to ride well or even enjoy riding. Michael Jung is the most successful three-day eventer currently riding, and his…

Because protecting production companies is clearly more important than protecting the people who make their jobs possible—you know, the ‘little people.’

I definitely do not watch movies in theaters, so no problem there. Can’t afford it! However, what does this panel suggest when women churn out, for example, 50 Shades of Grey? The first film had a female director, gender equity in terms of its cast...do we need to support these films just because they offer gender…

Right? Who can wear something like this?

Proof that the world prefers blonde giants to funky brunettes with indie-movie looks, maybe? Plus Serena was all about being sexually attractive and Blair rarely got even a little bit naked, which means in producer-speak that LM is “bitchy” and “difficult.” Sure maybe LM didn’t want to be more famous than she is, but…

I think it’s important to recognize that the tv shows mentioned as television’s “peak era”, The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, were both primarily male-produced vehicles for male stars. Perhaps we are simply witnessing the end of white male dominated television, which is obviously a very good thing. If we’re also seeing…

I have a difficult time believing that any of these incredibly sexually abusive men who are in the public eye have any regret whatsoever. Bill O’Reilly is making no effort to make amends. Truth is The Today Show wanted to boost ratings by having him on the show and constructed the apology narrative to try to justify…

The interplay between the producers and the director that you bring up here is very interesting. I think that any female director doing a film like this was going to be under more scrutiny than a male director, and it seems like she was working with a fraught situation.

The New York Times Book Review skews extremely sexist, we know this. It also clearly demands far more accuracy on this topic that is fraught with inaccurate data and flawed research, than it does from fiction books like Gabriel Tallent’s horrific My Precious Darling. Especially if those nonfiction books are written by…

Does anyone not believe Ryan Philippe’s ex? This just seems like yet more evidence that white men given tremendous power, influence and wealth for really no good reason cannot be trusted to use that power responsibly.
