I feel totally fucking relaxed now! Feminists get a bad name for trying to police each other. That’s not what I’m doing here, and I’ve been clear about that from the beginning. It’s a goddamn comment section on an article about the pink kitty hats. I left a comment about how I felt. Not sure why everyone needs to…

THANK YOU

He was invited to host the show well after his comments about immigrants and other gross displays, and just one year before the election (air date 11/7/15).

I’m not super clear on why me expressing the opinion that I don’t absolutely love the idea of kitty hats has made people react with this kind of vitriol. As I said, do you. It’s not for me. We’re on the same side in probably many other ways.

Did you read the Angus Johnson piece? He specifically addresses this point.

Whoa. Easy there. I wasn’t complaining. I do think that $ would make a bigger difference, but of course I think folks should do what they think is best. I’m talking about what’s right for me. It’s why I frame this as my opinion, and say “I think” rather than finger-wagging about this. Cats are independent…

I’m just not seeing a sea of pink kitty ears as powerful. Why not take what you spent on yarn and donate it to PP? eta: I work for PP, and I have ladyparts.

I keep getting whiffs of sexualization and objectification when women wear kitty ears. I’d be on board if these hats actually looked like vaginas. Dressing up like a vagina is empowering. Dressing up like a kitten? Less so, imo.

Seriously though, fuck SNL. I appreciate that they’re coming for Trump, but they are just as culpable for propping him up when it was clear that he was dangerous. Fuck NBC for continuing their relationship with him. As D.L. Hughley said, “Fuck you now and fuck you forever.”

Race is a social construct, but it is an incredibly powerful one. I hear what you’re saying: race shouldn’t be a factor in how people interact. The problem is, when we speak about race this way in 2017 we are erasing the lived experiences of people of color in which their race is seen every moment of the day. …

Please read up before telling folks not to see race: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2013/08/26/the-problem-with-colorblindness/

You’ll need to be more specific with your critique. Free speech means you can’t be jailed for what you say as long as it doesn’t incite violence, not that you are guaranteed the right to speak at public schools.

Why? He’s not talking about free speech, he’s specifically talking about speech on campuses. What’s the problem? Is there some backstory there, or is your criticism that he argues against just allowing ANY speakers to say what they want on campus?

Bullying, like racism, can only happen to people who are oppressed, vulnerable and/or powerless. It’s a rotten fucking trick that those in power have co-opted the terms to create the illusion of victimhood.

Corey Feldman, durr.

Perhaps it’s the Fiennes’ familial connection, but this looks like amateur Voldemort cosplay.

Recovering vegan here -animals aren’t just for lazy people, they’re for poor people too! A healthy vegan diet is insanely difficult and expensive to maintain. And please don’t write back to tell me about beans. I know about beans.

I am struggling with this too. She has worked incredibly hard at her craft(s) and is an artist with something worthwhile to share. To use one’s creativity to convince people to buy things that they don’t need made in sweatshops seems pretty out of sync with many artists’ ideals. This is pretty disappointing.

There’s no such thing as racism against white people, Mr. Bice.
