I heard Lindy West on a podcast this week say something similar about how when she really started start understanding intersectional feminism is when she started understanding that some black people just may not like her, ever, and respect that even though she thought of her self as a Nice White Lady. And them…

I heard something from Aimee Mann that I really liked, along the lines of “people are entitled to dislike you, and their reason why is none of your business.” Maybe a person is shallow and only talks to models; maybe you have an uncanny resemblance to someone who bullied him/her as a kid. As long as someone isn’t…

Oh look the queens of oblivious-white-girl racism-is-the-joke-get-it comedy said some oblivious shit.

no she is referring to the “it” as herself which is why i wrote that she was deploying black men as “both object and misogynist,” although i’m mad now that i didn’t write “both object and objectifier,” as parallelism would have been better writing. fuck.

no you interpreted it right, she was giving voice to odell’s alleged “inner monologue” about her. the article was talking about that.

yes, that is my face while saying this.

...because all black men want to fuck the white wimmins.

I really wish there was a gif of someone saying “Boo, Bitch, BOOOOOOO.”

These two aren’t like other feminists, y’all! They’re cool with rape jokes and can be just as objectionable as men!

I’M A FUCKING QWEEEEEEN!!

Okay, that settles it for me. I’ve gone from having no interest in Amy Schumer to actively disliking her.

Exactly. But not if you’re Dunham - if she was “chill” with a burst ovary, so should everyone! *eyeroll*

It reminds me very much of the “Well I’m personally just fine with it, therefore it isn’t a problem for anyone” blanket statements. It’s pretty myopic at best.

Having experienced both a burst ovarian cyst and a rape, I wouldn’t consider them to be comparable experiences. And I resent the fuck out of the idea that because I or other women have gone through X, I should be totally down with any jokes about Y. Maybe some people can. Others can’t and shouldn’t have to.

I watched three episodes of Girls and couldn’t believe how much it lacked self unawareness. I kept waiting for the punch line— waiting for it to reveal itself as a parody of stereotypical Millenials, waiting for it to let me know it was in on the joke: Hannah is terrible! But I kept watching and came to the horrific…

I think she’s actually attributing that thought to him... which is maybe worse?

Just a couple of Tea Party soccer moms chattin’ at Panera!

“And it just so happens that they were two of the sweetest angels who have ever lived, you know? It is never some toothless fucking crackhead who gets killed.”

Oh, so we don’t have to fight stupid, victim-blaming, punching-down rape jokes in comedy anymore (and Lindy’s book comes to mind in doing its share of that work) because we’re “so strong” and “queens”? So victims (and any human being with a modicum of decency) don’t need to fight for the right to be viewed as humans?…

There is absolutely nothing about Lena Dunham that I enjoy.
