If verbalized support raises public awareness and reduces the stigma around people identifying similarly, that is a beneficial effect, even if it doesn’t immediately translate into “making women’s lives better”. Feminism is not some heady liquor. It also isn’t a club that requires a gate fee or a membership pass.…

The sheer thirst of the man. It's embarrassing at this point.

Ive stopped listening to Major Lazer bc of what I read about Diplo. Really disappointed. Saw some other thing b4 about him “mentoring” some young female artist of color and it set my teeth on edge, but the artist kept claiming everything was above board so I moved on. Then I heard about the allegations and was like “I…

Joe Biden is the president, not an activist. He has such a massive bully pulpit that it would be *inappropriate* for him to come down one way or the other without solid evidence. There are issues of due process AND sovereignty of state government to consider here. I’m actually happy the US has a leader that thinks…

These heifers didn’t hire “independent investigators” for Mr. Fayed’s claims that Diana’s death wasn’t an accident, or multiple women’s claims that Andrew is a predator, or (confirmed) claims that the Queen has been manipulating the law to enrich herself. Yet they’ll do this now because they’re obsessed with the idea…

That IS the dumbest thing to do. I can (maybe) understand giving someone who was once in a queer relationship that now swears they’re “totally straight” a shady look or two, but even that isn’t technically anyone’s business but theirs.

Why would a professor of biblical antiquities be working at a gym? Where would he even find the time? If somebody sounds like the perfect gentleman, run a MF background check on him.

Yeah, don’t really know if that’s a woke thing. It’s woke millenials and zoomers that first really championed ideas like fluidity and queerness, so it sounds more like a hip (gen x) thing to me.

Just get your real concerns off your chest and go. Call her an "uppity pretender". You've been out of pocket here for days, along with that 2020kinja sock puppet, defending the indefensible and trying desperately to make them anything but the victims of racial abuse, death threats, institutional sabotage and double…

All you do here is alternate between claiming you “don’t care lol” and gaslighting/attacking the Sussexes. Is BP paying you some form of stipend, or are you just that empty inside?

So...what exactly is this investigation going to do? Are they planning to charge Meghan with “gross insolence to staffers’? A royal court martial, maybe? They’re just displaying how toothless and terrified of her they are. This (1) likely either didn’t happen or is being recounted in a very misleading way, (2)…

The word she should have used is “trans exclusionary”. Or “cis-normative”. But anytime you use the correct terminology like that, someone pops off with some joke about “wokeness” and cracks wise about avocado toast, so I would probably have just said “transphobic” too, in her shoes.

Um...it’s a primetime interview. With Oprah. When you have a business (or more) to promote, a ton of malicious bad press, and an entire media ecosystem heavily invested in your downfall, you need a life profile appearance like this to even the playing field. You need to make sure your appearance is more prominent than…

It’s not about how sincere it sounds, or probing the depths of a person’s soul. Feminism isn’t a personality trait, it’s a political stance. Meaning basic verbalized support has an impact all its own, EVEN if not always backed by actions. Being a feminist doesn’t mean you have nothing left to learn about gender…

The best answer is "I'm a work in progress" or "Feminism is important to me". "Yes" is honestly fine, when asked directly. It's declaring it impromptu to anyone that will listen that's a red flag.

Im not entirely sure the *only or paramount* job of a fiction writer is to manipulate the audience's emotions. In the course of telling a story, sometimes guidance is required, but manipulation has a distinctly sinister connotation....

Well, about those “feminist credentials” Buffy is supposed to have.

Few small things:

This comment is so myopic and self-involved, I can only assume it was typed from inside your navel. The world you fixed by “living authentically” SUCKS ASS for most people that aren’t white and/or middle class, and has led to absolute devastation for the “third world” that was infected by all of your poisonous…

It’s your ***** that’s a hysterical *****, you **** ****** *******.
