Well that escalated quickly.

No. There are just a lot of guys who are attracted to certain strains of fundamentalist Christianity because they offer support and justification for men who want to be sexist asshats. But they would be sexist asshats regardless.

You know, for a feminist blog, you guys spend an inordinate amount of time writing about people who are only famous because of the men they fucked.

Honestly, I hate that “oh it’s only the married person’s problem” moral-vacuum bullshit. Oh, my friend killed a guy, but I don’t know their life! I’m pretty sure the ring my boyfriend gave me was stolen, but that’s not my problem! My mom embezzled a bunch of money, let’s go shopping!

Reason #4,598,098 why people should ditch organized religion, ESPECIALLY if you are a woman.

This is prison. Most of these people are not good.

I have a theory about it. I think that they are offered so much sex that it starts to get boring. It's like they start off having sex with groupies, after doing that a whole bunch of times, they lose interest and only look for girls who are into freaky stuff. When that gets boring, they start mixing in guys. When that…

I don’t want to question too harshly the places people turn to for help in their darkest hour, but I can’t even get Siri to understand that when I ask it to find me a gas station, I mean a gas station in front of me, in the direction that I am already traveling, and not one that requires a U-turn or long detour…

That’s great and all, but we can’t even take care of our documented poor. Get on the grid and pay taxes, and you’re good. If you’re caught living here illegally, you should be fined but given a chance to naturalize. If you really can’t be bothered, then it probably isn’t a dire need for you to be here.

If that were the primary issue, why wasn’t the headline, “Cops and Austin Paper Misuse Pronouns” and why was the lede buried?

I wonder about this all the time, the US has an astronomical murder rate, despite trans women being an infinitesimally small percentage of that population they will also, on occasion, be murdered - sometimes due to their transness and sometimes due to a number of often related but sometimes unrelated variables.…

I don’t understand this.

I don’t use cabs often (once every 5 years or so). I’m sick of having to tip for everything. Don’t regular cab drivers get paid an hourly wage? It might not be a great hourly wage. But under that argument don’t I have to tip my WalMart cashier also? Tip only if you truly think you got something special. The Uber…

Tipped workers should form unions and demand fair wages.

Yeah, I’ve held my tongue about this issue for the 10+ years I’ve been on this site but no more. As a second wave feminist, porn isn’t empowering, it isn’t cool and it sucks to me. Yes, it’s my personal opinion and many disagree with me. That’s fine. To those people, tell me how gang bang, choking and bukkake are…

Shirley Chisolm famously said: “Of my two handicaps, being female put many more obstacles in my path than being black.”

1. 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

I never understood why people tried to limit the definition of racism to just institutional racism. It’s stupid, dishonest, and comes across as an attempt to say that only white people can be racist.

“because racism is prejudice PLUS institutional power, and white people are the ones with institutional power.”
