Oh, I have heard this kind of garbage from ALL kinds of women. Hell, I’ve heard this garbage from all kinds of men, too—the most vocal TERF I know is a highly educated, young, liberal, male PoC.

What particularly bums me out is the forums and microphones we allow TERFs. Like, allowing this individual a platform at all, along with her bullshit about how “EVERYONE THINKS THIS BUT NO ONE SAYS IT” (um, no, dear, we’re not all as bigoted and rotten as you, thanks) is another way of mainstreaming this kind of idea.
Accompanied by what appears to be a cheering man holding a baby. A powerful image altogether.
This is a war that is being fought on the bodies of women.
the lede image reminds me of this woman getting rid of her mandated black niqab after fleeing:
Merh I read that more as a “OK lets move on here what can we possible say to move on from this topic”
To be fair, he does seem to demonstrate a remarkable amount of sympathy for his own abuser as well.
I actually read their comments about the Duggars as very “uuuuhhhhhhh MOVING ON,” considering the extent to which they are pop cultural fellow travelers. Obviously I’d prefer something much less ambiguous, but I’m not sure I’d call it an out-and-out defense, either, which is interesting.
I didn’t think he was saying that God had a plan for him to be molested. I read that as “he had a plan to make the pain I suffered, eventually serve a purpose” (in this case, to make him a better dad).
I’m assuming the remark about the Duggars? Though I’m going to give them a pass on that, since it’s a difficult thing to make a public statement about and doesn’t really have anything to do with Jep’s childhood.
You just don’t get it. If you have problems with him it must be because you’re in the “old generation” and thus have no insights or received wisdom to impart whatsoever. Quietly await death, and stay off Twitter, please and thank you.
He LITERALLY said “but I have a black friend”
accurate.
To be fair, my vagina also does that.
Lenny is just teasing/trolling all of us with that tweet.
Even if it was supposed to be a snide racist slam; I really hate the idea that: “haha, you are stupid! You only work an honest job that provides an essential public service! What a moron! It comes with benefits? Possibly a pension? Allows you a decent shot at the middle class? Boy you must feel dumb!”
What does a trash collator do, anyway? Put the trash in its correct order? Or the more esoteric form of collation, which involves deducing how the trash was put together?
I count 8 mistakes beyond general awkwardness. Best course of action is probably just to rip that page out and move on.
