One thing I have noticed is that in a choice between sons and daughters, women always choose their sons. And I do not get the cultural insistence that a brother is a good thing for a woman to have. Even if they otherwise behave decently, they are usually lazy and tedious and never worth the company. Better to have an…

Yeah. That judge needs ... to not be there.

That fucker in Alaska is going to kill a woman one day. Choking is one of the biggest indicators.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Just reading about it makes my blood boil. Fighting racism has to be central fighting rape culture.

You don’t even have to do that. The Orange Hellscape practically screamed the equivalent of “Why didn’t she call the police??” at Dr. Ford from his TweetShriek after his Hitler rally in Vegas.

First, thank you for sharing that. All the women in my family were raped, I was molested myself several times and know it’s hard to recall those memories.

I saw my mother raped in Brooklyn in the back of a store room by a security guard. I was 3 and he forced her into the store room. She wouldn’t let go of my hand. I…

If you want to understand why women don’t come forward, I implore you to watch our elected government officials question Christine Blasey Ford next week.

My mother completely retconned history after my grandfather died. He was a saint, don’t you know. Well, I hope that saint is burning in hell.

I hear you, I believe you, I’m with you.

I do not understand why mothers will do nothing. Does your mother speak to those uncles? Did she make you socialize with them again?

They couldn’t bring themselves to condemn Thomas for things they knew their colleagues (and in some cases, they themselves) had done.

Well, let’s be blunt. The reason Anita Hill wasn’t “taken seriously” by the all-male Senate Judiciary Committee was because members of both parties have sexually harassed people. They couldn’t bring themselves to condemn Thomas for things they knew their colleagues (and in some cases, they themselves) had done.

This is the real story. She’s 20 ffs and she had just outplayed her idol and Serina’s fans fucked the whole experience. Serena, could have been more gracious. I know she put her arm round her and asked for the boos to stop but the whole “We need to get though this” as if this farce was some kind of human tragedy.

I guess Naomi can decide for herself about what to speak about.

There’s no question she has dealt with a lot, and there was certainly a long stretch when she was the most underappreciated great athlete in sports (thankfully, she’s starting to get her due these last few years). But what happened yesterday was not something that was done to her. I watched the whole match. The…

The discrimination still exists and persists, so she didn't "overcome" anything. Talking about the reality of Black women in her position is not a "PC agenda," and only those of us who actually experience oppression get to decide whether it's "real" or not.

I am so, so tired of reading hot takes from people who have no idea what it’s like to face the amount of racism and sexism Serena Williams has faced in her career. Her outburst was about more than what was happening out there on the court; it was about the amount of disrespect she’s encountered as a black woman. When…

It could partly be being raised by a Japanese mother.  Japanese people are taught to be more stoic, and more respecting of authority, than Americans.

and if she did, what it is? One of the world’s greatest athletes can’t have an ego? get the entire fuck up out of here with your bullshit ass bullshit. creating a burner just to come up in here with your dumb thoughts.

This was wonderful to read, thank you for this.
