Actually Clinton was explicitly asked about the Albright quote at least if not the Steinem one during debates. Yes, she has been asked to distance herself from it.

I've noticed this as well. In a way, that's just part of how positive campaigns work - you educate people about your candidate and hope they come around. But in this context, there's a kind of condescension to it...silly women and minorities, if only you knew better you'd realize that my candidate is way better for…

Cruz isn't outside of politics, it's just as nonsensical for him to claim to be outside the establishment as anyone else. Carson and Trump are the only non insider candidates in this race, and they're both ridiculous.

It's always been the way around here. A lot of these writer's can't take criticism or disagreement well at all.

In 2006 he also used his yes vote on that bill to bolster his ‘tough on crime’ record during a campaign.

You’re right, it shouldn’t be something we grade people on and it shouldn’t be something women are constantly asked about but in Swift’s case I think it’s a fair critique because it really does seem as late that she’s making Feminism(tm) just part of her brand. It IS something that she performs, right down to her…

I kinda really need obama to tell me he’s proud of me it’s a life goal

I’m so sorry but that was an onion article

And we appreciate that this was a passion project for Ryan Reynolds, who has worked hard for years to get this made.

Well obviously only one of them is sincere and the other is pandering. Which is which I leave it to yourself to determine.

It's making fun of the extremism and drama on both sides of the democratic primary debate. This could have been written by supporters of either candidate. That's the point.

This is my take as well. Had Carson still been doing well in the polls, Trump would have been happy to leave him as a fool standing alone. But it costs him nothing to be nice to someone who isn’t a threat.

I’ve gotta say though I sorta agree...it’s kinda bonkers that Iowa and new Hampshire determine the rest of the race. Her share if the vitem is laughably low so she should bow out anyway but I still find this method of selecting a nominee a bit nutty.

Can confirm. I work at a community mental health clinic, and even when a client is engaging in behavior that warrants police intervention, they have no idea what to do when they show up. They have actually asked us to stop calling them. Mentally ill people in police custody (who don't die) pretty much just get…

My mom, socialist and feminist hero of my heart, said Hillary needed to "stop screeching" last night. When pressed, she explained that she meant Hillary sounded angry and frustrated and that it wasn't doing her any favors BECAUSE of the way women are described when behaving exactly like men.... but what she said was…

All I'm saying is the initial quote was kinda taken out of context. He's operating within the culture, for sure. He's far from the only one and I guess I don't know why he in particular is drawing ire for it.

All I'm saying the initial quote about if they want talented dj's they'll just hire men is kinda taken out of context. He's not doing anything to improve the culture, that's for damn certain.

But it isn't the actual crossdressing or being gay that's the scandal. It's the hypocrisy of it.

The full text of his original post does say that the clubs tell him that if they wanted a good dj they’d just hire a man. It wasn’t an opinion he was expressing about the quality of female dj’s. Still a shitty post, and he could tell them stfu I'm going to hire talent regardless of looks, but can't blame the dude for…

“Thumbs UP, Ted. THUMBS UP. If the thumb is not up, this gesture has no meaning.”

That right there is honestly one of the funniest things I've ever read and I can't even begin to explain why. Well done.
