Starred for Lady So and So of Whereverthefuckshire-I salute you.

“It is very sad for me that they didn’t like it and I’m finding that very difficult to accept.”

I might personally say, “you do what you want,” but that I wouldn’t call that a feminist position.

The point I am making is that thinking that feminism = “I get to make my own choices, about anything” is misunderstanding feminism.

Academics are often really socially incapable. It’s like a badge of honor. I work in research administration and most of my professors are perfectly ok but the ones who are off...would be unemployable anywhere else. Why this shit is accepted as some kind of mark of intelligence, I don’t know.

Don’t go by this post, which is completely out of the blue. Roiphe is not a second wave feminist, and arguably not a feminist at all.

I already emailed Joanna once and she un-banned me but did not un-gray me, as I was previously un-grayed. I thought that was garbage because she returned other banned commenters to their pre-banned statuses. At any rate, I log on today and nothing I post shows up. I don’t have high hopes for it getting sorted out.

I’m not an expert, but I wonder if there’s much consensus after “Second Wave” white, privileged feminism. Though it had its heyday in history, it’s not as though it’s a historical blip that has gone away, as the linked articles above and many comments sections the Internet over demonstrate. I think we’re in the…

Obvs those women weren’t smart, competent, or professional.

Her frustration is losing her comment archive, the record of her connections with other commenters, and the ability to have her comments seen without depending on the largesse of other commenters, you boob. Getting another burner account doesn’t restore any of that.

The smartest thing I ever did as a PhD candidate was not report my harasser. It made me literally physically sick at the time. But in the end, I was right. Which is the best thing you can be if you’re an academic. Reporting him wouldn’t have hurt him. He’d been reported before. In fact, I think for him part of the…

Yeah I can tell you being a woman in academia is a real sexist mindfuck thrill. I like to log in to Jezebel, be in my echo chamber a little bit, have my voice heard and interact in a silly way with a witty and wonderful commentariat. It’s been a little haven from my toxic, mansplainy world.

He is a PROGRESSIVE EUGENICIST didn’t you know.

What gets me about the wider Toby Young thing..... is yet again the way that these governments/influential groups react with surprised indignation to finding out awful people are awful, and do and say awful things.

I wish I was shocked.

That’s YouTube for you. There are no real set rules on YouTube and they will pick and choose which creators they like and which ones they want to fuck over.

I liked it too, but those who didn’t like it seem to really hate it. Polarizing movies are interesting

As a woman who has worked in the industry for over 15 years - I’m so glad she made that list and fuck, Roiphe.

If you want to forgive him, whatever- I do think people saying Youtube should ban and or entirely demonetize him are ridiculous and sound like old men yelling at clouds. That just doesn’t make sense for the platform- but let’s not call a 22 year-old man a “kid” please.

Snowpiercer in space.

I more than just didn’t like the movie. I don’t know what it was about that mess, but I hate it with a passion that’s hard to explain. It was just so ... stupid. And not “good” stupid like Dude Where’s My Car, but just shitty and bad and amateurish.
