A lot more men need to start looking at and questioning themselves and consider whether they are truly ascertaining consent before they engage in any form of sexual behaviour.

I loved how genuinely abashed John was when Anita suggested that approach. It was such a gentle teaching moment [for him and me]. I was completely in awe of her by the end of the interview.

If you know the victim, and they have asked you to get involved and support them, it’s not ‘White Knighting’.

The first time that feeling,that reality, hits you it’s a terrible feeling and a flashbulb memory for so many of us. 

I thought the program was terrific.  Anita Hill, forever poised and erudite, reflected brilliant on her mistreatment before.the Senate committee.  I would love.to see.that same committee today interviewed after viewing their horrific actions 27 years ago.

Before one can harass others, one must learn to harass oneself.

I enjoyed the part of the interview where they discussed what guys can do, and Oliver’s immediate response was to confront the guy, and Hill suggested he ask the woman how she is. I’m a guy, I would have said as Oliver did. And Hill was probably right, since the dude would just accuse Oliver (or me) of White…

Anita Hill’s grilling was one of the first national news stories that I really remember. It was also one of the first things that went ‘you’re a girl and so have to work even harder for basic human decency’ as well.

The spokesperson’s reply is kinda like what those people who make self-driving cars keep saying: “We told you to stay awake and not watch movies! How were we supposed to know you wouldn’t use it as we intended???”

I’m early 30s. I was a biochemist until about a year ago. I wasn’t happy in my career and had been considering switching careers. Went back to school for network engineering. I’m much happier for doing it. I’m still finishing up my degree but I had a decent full time job pretty quickly just by getting some…

I am north of 45. Changing careers is scary. I look at this as a way to empower myself because a future designed by racist men is scarier.  

Greg Gianforte actually IS a criminal. Amazon got that one right.

Greg Gianforte probably wasn’t  a mistake. 

When machine learning, facial recognition, artificial intelligence, internet access and more are run/programmed by an overwhelming majority of misogynistic, racist men it makes me uneasy about the future.

It’s actually quite a big problem, if you ask me, largely because what they’re advocating isn’t “socialism.” The Scandinavian Nordic Model that they’d ideally like to emulate isn’t socialism either. And this so-called “democratic socialism” has already long had a name—it’s “social democracy.”

It...really is hard, actually, because Social Democratic welfare state policy, for all the (worthy!) improvements it can make in people’s lives, isn’t socialism, and buttressing even leftier Dems shouldn’t be anywhere near the primary focus of a socialist group (which should be building solidarity and class…

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of great. If the DSA gets behind a Cynthia Nixon and she doesn’t deliver upon the promises she gives to progressives, then jettison her in favor of someone better. It’s going to take a long time of gradually shifting the Overton Window back left before we have a choice between prominent…

Jeez. Come on. The quote refers to the history of Democrats co-opting leftists for volunteer work.

Why would a socialist organization waste time and resources working for a candidate who’s...not a socialist? How would advocating for a candidate who supports capitalism advance the socialist goal of dismantling capitalism?

“I left the Democratic party because I want to revolutionize how politics work,” she said. “Becoming another unpaid canvassing outfit is not my interest.”
