In my experience, men never get the hint. I belong to a women-only facebook group that’s a spin-off of a big FB group that’s open to everyone - the women’s group was mainly created to discuss harassment and discrimination in the original group. We get men requesting to join every. single day.

Like an office, but for people from all different companies. More and more people are getting jobs “working from home” or doing freelance work because it’s cheaper than giving someone office space and full benefits. I know a graphic designer who uses WeWork and does actually collaborate with professionals she wouldn’t…

Men may get the hint but they’ll ignore it. There is a history of men crashing lesbian bars, shutting down all-women coding workshops and suing over ladies’ night specials. It’s a small percentage of guys, to be sure, but they are vocal and determined to stop women from excluding them.

The one difference being that its many people from different organizations in close proximity. Rather than having an office space that is JUST Tired Old Feminist, LLC, you would be sharing amenities and possibly even sitting next to the proprietor of atljawga or agreeeed.

Exactly. Craig Gurian’s argument of comparing a safe space for women to the policy of “separate but not equal” made me so angry. It is invalid. It makes a difference if it is the oppressors shutting out the oppressed, or the oppressed shutting out their oppressors. Got it? I’ve heard several times from POC how…

This piece does a good job of illustrating the cultural and historical differences between exclusive men’s clubs and the importance of having exclusive spaces for oppressed people. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Christ on a bicycle, it’s not like she had to run a background check on this guy or even scan his social media for potential landmines. He’s wearing a goddamn swastika right on his goddamn shirt just as plain as day. If I were at a party with this person, I would be rallying the crowd to have him escorted from the…

Yes. It’s not that hard. There’s literally a giant red swastika on his white shirt.

I remember waving to somebody that was actually waving to somebody behind me like 20 years ago. That dude’s statement is nonsense.

When one of your parents is an awful human being, it’s OK to say so out loud. See how that works Ivanka?

There’s a tendency when something sinister or bigoted or icky is revealed for a certain segment of people to go “¯\_(ツ)_/¯, whacky old God, eh”.

I am so, so, so proud of these incredible young people. It gives me hope for the new generation of voters, law-makers, presidential candidates, teachers, advocates, activities, you name it, they are the future. Emma Gonzales is a marvel. They all are, really. They deserve not only a better future, but a better now.…

I was proud to stand with 18k of my fellow Minnesotans today at the State Capitol. By coincidence, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school hockey team was in town for a tournament so several students from MSD spoke today, as well as students from local schools. As a childfree Xennial, the speakers gave me hope and I…

BTW, hands down best quote of the day was from this speech Aalayah Eastmond:

Naomi Wadler did that! To stand in front of that many people and speak for all our fallen sisters was so brave. I had to send this to my family so they can tear up with me. This beautiful child spoke more eloquently and articulately than most of the White people serving in Congress. I’m so pleased to see Black young…

Me all day after every speech:

I am not easily impressed; I was floored by these kids, today. Floored. The move by the Stoneman Douglas kids to only let kids and young people speak was an absolutely brilliant move.

This young woman is truly impressive. Even if, as detractors are sure to suggest, she had help with her speech (which any adult speaking to a national audience would do), the way she delivers it with such understanding and conviction clearly shows how firmly she grasps her words.

They’re REALLY pissed at him for kneeling. I guess if the NFL won’t refuse to hire him, then some cops are going to come after him themselves.
