I’m puzzled by the insinuation she should figure this out behind closed doors. Yes, she’s 30, and this is delayed on our timetable of when worldly liberal people’s should have been having these realizations, But shaming people for not coming to terms with privilege fast enough will just make them defensive and push…

Intersectional Feminist Writer: Ugh, I can’t even with these people who won’t wake up and see the sexism all around them!

Is there any way to win these discussions? Say nothing, get blasted for ignoring issues. Try to say something, admit it might be naive, get blasted. Can’t win for losing, I guess.

Right, because it can’t possibly be that the systemic nature of the problem can blind both the afflicted and the blessed. No better way to encourage enlightenment than to belittle those who stumble along trying to find it.

Yea, that’s a really shitty way to wrap up an already odd post. I wonder if there’s a readily available statement, ideally one that’s both overly dismissive and mean-spirited, that I can repurpose as a reply?

I just don’t understand why any celebrity thinks it’s a good idea to discuss social politics. The overwhelming majority of the time they just get slammed for it—do they all think they’re so exception that they’re going to be the ones to thread the needle?

Here here for willful misinterpretation of context! Great job Megan, really doing your readers a service here!

Super awesome when a white person is at least attempting to have a discussion about sexism or racism and trying to understand to immediately write an article shitting on them that’s really productive

I really don’t know how I feel about these sort of posts. They appear too often to ignore. A twenty-something celebrity is trying to vocalize that they’ve been on the receiving end of sexism. Ok.

Wow this article sounds more like a litany of petty personal opinions and unfair comparisons than anything.

While the effort is appreciated, the process itself should perhaps remain behind closed doors.

There are no lanes.

One of the biggest allys in the fight for women’s rights was Frederick Douglass. He himself a former slave compared men’s treatment of women to slavery.

EXACTLY. Because the only position for women in the movement is prone.

Not the same song but a lot of the same notes. Most ism’s can have a negative impact when used against someone. Look around the world and see how women are treated the clap back is misplaced. So in other words don’t let the poorly worded privileged massager detract from what is a real problem globally. So sexism and…

Part of me thinks that he’s near death and North Korea only let him go bc they don’t want a dead American on their hands,

And guess what? You can’t destroy a band’s caterer, on fucking hearsay. Sorry, but unless she filed charges, and took one of their asses to court. This is just another version, of what someone tried to do to Bright Eyes.

Why is Trump so obsessed with coal? Is it some sort of fetish? It’s a marginal portion of the US economy, not economically viable with renewables and natural gas, and barely anyone works in that field!

If the person who can fire you begins a statement with “I hope you can” 99.9% of the population knows that really means “Do this or you’re fired” and we know this is what Trump meant BECAUSE THEN HE FIRED HIM FOR NOT DOING IT.

Meanwhile, WGN is dropping all it’s scripted programming in favor of more reality shows.

This is why I’ve been such a bitch at all of you for watching that shit. Even if you just hate watch, you are helped kill scripted TV.
